No, I am not implying that there was any attempt to avoid an already booked arrangement. When I made the reservation for the PG some months ago, I said that I would wait to book while on the Navigator in order to get the on-board booking discount of 5% if that were necessary, even though it seems silly. After some discussion, they committed to allowing a retroactive on-board discount while on Navigator. When this was discussed with the Cruise consultant, she said she would have to check - there was no problem.

My experience with RSSC customer service has been excellent - one of the main reasons we keep returning.

That having been said, I don't think that I understand the 2005 changes - probably more my problem than theirs!
