On the CC boards, there are posts stating that the relationships between RSSC and the current owners of the PG are significantly different that the historical relationships with former owners.

For example, it is stated that long-time Capt. Broussard (sp?) is being let go as of sometime this spring, and is being replaced with a new Captain who is an employee not of RSCC, but of the new owners. It is also stated that the maintanence crew are now employees of the new owners, and have had their pay severely cut.

It is further stated that the new owners have significant control over the cruise/hotel operation, to the extent that they vetoed RSSC's request (?) to have a crew recon visit to the Cook Islands before the PG's first ever sailing there this September.

My question here is whether there is any truth to any of this. Does anybody know?

Thanks,
Richard
