Great cruise, but very long with 12 days at sea and one day of 20-26 foot waves in the Pacific. We were ready to get off the boat after a day of 20-26 foot waves. Mr toads wild ride. Our highlight was snorkeling with the humpback mama and baby in Tahiti, and the all day jetski/atv adventure in Moorea.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
They are saving money on quality. In the main dining, they have limited your choices on steaks and seafood, and charge extra for higher quality. In the windjammer buffet, the better the desserts looked, the worst the taste. You have to pay extra for good drinks including OJ. Alcoholic drinks are expensive, like $9-12 a drink plus a mandatory 18% tip automatically added.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
This is the best cabin on the ship. Great sized room in the aft, with only 1 neighbor and a couch. Great ocean views through large sliding glass doors, with an extra large balcony with large panoramic views. Balcony is totally private and has table-2 chairs and a full deck chase. Worth the extra money.
Ship tip
Great shore excursions through shoreexcursions.com/. Voom internet was good. They charge extra for everything now. Food and dessert quality has declined. You can bring two bottles of wine.
The best day of our lives. Tendered, but beautiful views. Must do the all day Jet ski and ATV adventure at Moorea activity ctr through shoreexcursions.com/priceline. We shared vehicles. Swam with over 30 black tip sharks and petted stingrays. Moorea looks like King Kongs island. Reminded me of Kauai.
Loved it. Reminded me of San Fran, Seattle, and Rome. Great port. Weekend market at the Rocks. Took a bike tour on Manly and have to go to the manly Beach. Taronga Zoo is best in the world.
