No New Ship - Why?

[Doubt It]

Is there a reason that PG does not have a second ship?

 

Is there not enough business to justify a newer ship with enhanced food and service?

 

Thank you for your knowledge!

Personally I think they do a great Job and that one ship is very special..leaving tomorrow.

Enhanced service? Have you been on the PG?

Agree with alwaysonaship (and more than a little bit envious)

have fun

The use to have a second, smaller ship.  I think it was only 76 people.  There was no shade around the pool, the dining room was unbearably hot, the rooms where very comfortable but for some reason would get very hot around 2:00 in the morning.

I think the company has been focusing on its hotel business.  Just my two cents.  But the PG is fabulous--they sure don't need another ship in FP.  Perhaps a newer ship some day, but they've been keeping up the PG very nicely.  It's 20 years old now.

the carpet in the dining rooms smell

One of the considerations is sort of similar to a decision that restaurants have to make:  An extensive menu vs. a smaller but well focused one.  I tend to prefer the latter.

The company behind the PG, having dipped their toe into the multi-ship waters, have for now retreated to a single ship on which they focus on making it the best experience possible. Despite boyerd's short and negative comment, the PG is still my favourite of any ship/itiinerary.  Of course "your mileage may vary."

I was told last month by the hotel manager that they were building a new ship. I guess it wasn’t a secret or he would not have told me.

The carpet didn’t smell when we were on last month. The ship was very clean and the service was excellent. We did have a problem in our cabin 701, during the day there would be a periodic loud sound like someone dropped a large piece of furniture over our bed. Of course no one else had ever complained...but it was only during the day and that cabin was empty.

We had heard that they were planning to build a small but luxurious ship in 2017. Havent heard anything more. 

 

The problem with the smaller luxurious ships like the Crystal Endeavour are the high costs which we probably couldnt afford.

 

I understand that there is a huge waiting list for new ships. Genting bought their own shipyard to fulfill their needs.
