Review summary
French Polynesia and Cook Island itinerary was excellent. Service was professional; room service w/in 10 min. Wines were high quality. Rich french food at dinner got overwhelming for 11 days. Ate frequently at the Asian influenced Grill to lighten up. Rooms were comfortable. Staff curt in the French boutique restaurant. Evening entertainment below par; dated and often amateurish. Travel desk not open @ independent touring outside of excursions, although excursions were high quality and fairly priced. Did the pre sail tour to Moorea and it was spectacular.A great way to tour the islands.Ship experiences

I don't know why in French restaurants the staff feels that diners want them to be snooty. For me it is a turnoff & I rarely go to French restaurants because of it. I think that the servers are trying to act sophisticated and professional. They simply come across as cold. I always try to loosen them up if I can & it usually works.
