Richard, all; Ida and my experience onboard
the PG last month was heaven..as the title of my post from the ship said...service, food, diving,
motu, cabins, etc exceeding our expectations daily. Our second week we were in the cabin next to the GCT owner, Henry Lewis--who told me their goal was to try to keep the PG in FP thru 2009. The only changes he told me they were tweaking had to do with 2006+ b2b itineraries that would make them more attractive to veteran PG cruisers...sounded reasonable to me..the only visible GCT change I saw, was their somewhat "tacky" cruise table to the side of the professional PG excursion desk...but I did not notice any difference on the ship..the GCT cruisers were as friendly as the RSSC ones....the next best report will be the first hand ones from the many PIPsters...look fwd to them.

PS..Michael, we're glad you booked the Navigator
next Jan, Dave and I are already looking at post cruise locations in San Juan..interested?
