MaryLis:

I second your question as to why all the ships are leaving FP.

In the case of the PG, the best I can piece together is that the new owners, GCT, want to take her to S. America, and "around the Horn" and to Antarctica! Anybody who is familiar with how rough waters car be in some of those areas, and who knows that the PG rides very shallow in the water knows well how ill suited the PG is for this use! The PG was, if fact designed for the shallow and calm reef-protected waters of FP.
The PG has actually sailed pretty full recently (too full, acutally).

The TP seems to have proven popular with folks who want to cruise FP at a price a bit less than the PG (although they may have to tolerate a smaller cabin and deny themselves a few drinks to do it).

Other reports indicate that the FP government is very eager to keep cruising there, so I don't thing "hostile government" is the answer.

Does anybody know why all the ships are leaving FP?

Thanks,
Richard
