Glenda, I'm glad to hear that you still think the PG is up to snuff like your previous trips. I've heard conflicting things since the buyout by GCTravel about service and food quality but know and trust your evaluations....so things must still be good. Sorry to hear that Dan got eaten alive by the no seeums on the motu. Is it perhaps the time of year as well as being late in the day that brought them out? Great tip too about the boat ladder. None of us like looking like beached whales trying to get back up or down.
Cruisedreamer, loved your comments too and I'm sorry to hear that your daughter never got her camera back. That too has happened to us on a cruise ship and we didn't give a hoot about the camera as you can always go buy another one but we only wished the person would have at least left the memory stick behind with all of our treasured memories and photos on it.
Pat
