Thanks for the excellent review, Jan. I enjoyed all the details.

I haven't sailed on the PG but have been on the Voyager and perhaps the geographical location is the difference. I would think Polynnesia fosters a different type of atmosphere than Europe and the Med. And, size of the ship makes a difference too.

I bet if you sail on Voyager again, you will be pleasantly surprised at all the staff who remember you from your Med cruise. That has been our experience. I'm always amazed that with all the passengers they see each year, that they can remember us.

Sorry about your experience with the onboard consultant. I know of one (although her office is on land and she happens to sponsor this board) who gives excellent advice and is willing to state her opinion. She never steers me wrong.
