Review summary

Tahiti is wonderful, there's no words for it. Unspoiled nature and great people. Cruise was relaxing and I really enjoyed it but I was quite surprised that the food was not better. Breakfast and lunch were fine but dinners were never that great. I even skipped dinner one night just because it wasn't worth the effort.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Crowded but handled well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The food was not that great. Breakfast and Lunch were good, no complaints but dinners were just not that good. The food was lackluster. Even in the specialty restaurant. They have this special "James Beard" menu, it's just nothing special.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

There aren't really any onboard activities. The pool was highly chlorinated and smelled so. But it was never crowded. The gym was fine no complaints.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The crew talent night was better than any other show I've ever seen on any of my 16 cruises.

Children's Programs

They don't have children's programs

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff and service were fine. 2 of the crew I interacted with were exceptional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Design was fine, it's a small ship so I loved that. Everything was always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was comfortable, balcony was standing only but worth it. The closet was a real bonus. Small bathroom but two sinks and big enough. I have no complaints here.
