Island Cruiser:
This is the worst event I have ever heard reported by a PG cruiser! It is inexcusable! For starters, a ship should NEVER acept a group of a size of 1/2 its guest capacity. Even if evrything else goes right, this disrupts the social dynamic. But in the case of your second week, to deny and non-group guest use of the main dining room and tender service in favor of "the group" is just criminal.
Yes, as you say "the eyes of the luxury cruise world are on the PG" at this time, because of the unfortunate involvment with GCT.
I'd be VERY interested to find out more about the identity of this "group", and whether GCT was involved in it (which they apparently were). Also, is there a way to find our if such a fiasco is in the works for any future PG cruises --- so we can avoid them like the plague?
Thanks,
Richard :(
