Review summary

The ship was small for a cruise ship but it did have everything I wanted.

Ports of call

Papeete, Tahiti

5 out of 5
This is where you buy stuff since the selection is the best and the prices the most reasonable. Go walk on the black sand beach. warning: eating out off the boat is very expensive.
Don't Miss: The Market is down town next to the pier...go there.

Taha'A, Society Islands

5 out of 5
The private Motu.
Don't Miss: Beach barbeque, snorking and water sports.

Raiatea, French Polynesia

3 out of 5
Slept during this one...nothing open.

Moorea, French Polynesia

5 out of 5
Rent a buggy and do the circuit.
Don't Miss: Hike into the rain forest...then up to the Belvedere.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

5 out of 5
Smallish island but with plenty to see. Get a bicycle and ride around the island. the circuit takes about 2 hrs if you stop and take pictures.
Don't Miss: The pearl farm is free and shopping there is priced right.
