Ngaire:

The question of "who booked the group" is closely alligned with the question of "who caused the fiasco involving the group" which is closely alligned with the question of "who is running this ship??" The latter is the BIG question many now have about the PG. It is true that the problem was not that the group was there, but how the matter was handled. So back to the question "who is running the ship?"

To our experience, this was a very uncharacteristic move on Radisson's part --- if it WAS on Radisson's part! We've been on cruises with "groups" before, as well. Never experienced anything like this. You know more than I do, but to my experience the Radisson I know just does not do things like this. So the REAL question, again, is the one nobody is able to address, being "just how much control does GCT have over the onboard operations on the PG?"

Patrick and I, it seems, would both like to know.

Thanks,
