Our travel across half of the world to join this cruise was worth every minute of the 30 hours we spent to get to Tahiti and to this wonderful ship.
Embarkation was professional and finished in a few minutes. Our stateroom was nice and spacious. The only thing we were a little unhappy about was that we did not get a balcony. When we booked the tour,we were promised a stateroom with balcony, but in the end it turned out the ship was overbooked and as a result of that we ended up on a waiting list. Due to this overbooking, I am sorry to say, but it caused us a lot of phone calls and uncertainty, and at a point we were quite unsure if this trip would take place at all. We received our tickets 3 days before we left. So much for the complaints. When we got there, everything was forgiven.
The ship was beautiful and the service magnificent. The crew did everything possible to please the passengers, and they succeeded. Food was splendid and there was always a snack within reach whenever you wanted. You have to be extremely picky not to find something to your liking with such a variety of food.
