Cindy, I hope you will enjoy the PG as well. For RSSC, that is my least favorite "ship" for some reason, even though the itinerary cannot be matched! Those staterooms are more like the Diamond, nothing like the current RSSC ships! Going from all inclusive on SS (I loved that on the Shadow) is somewhat a letdown, just like moving from RSSC to SS it is an extra. I hope you will enjoy your cruise, and we hope to hear from you if the satellite allows! Sorry if I seemed to run on about the "friends aboard" thing! Having had so many cruises with others here has lifted me to a whole different bent on cruising, especially if I am going where I have been before. Sooner or later, the people take over, and it is not about the ports. When I want to go somewhere new and no "lct" cruise, I really want to be aboard with one of them, just in case they'll want to come back when the rest of them do!
