The Tahitian Princess cruise was wonderful...the staff were fun and the people we met on our sailing were also great. We didn't book any excursions on the ship - we did our own thing and sometimes met other people who also joined us on some of our tours...this made things cheaper.

In Huahine we did a tour (run by Felix - very nice funny guy) who was at the port where we docked. But we got there early (say 8am) so we were lucky to be able to ride with him. Then another 6 people from the cruise also joined us so he was able to then depart and show us around the island. This cost us 35 euros each for a 3-4 hour tour. He took us to see the maintown (Fare), stopped at some historical monuments, showed us the fish traps, then to the blue eye eels and also great snorkeling behind the Sofitel. After this we came back to port and caught the cruise shuttle bus into town ($5 USD ea) and we were with some people who wanting to go diving so we got a boat out and some of us went snorkeling. Due to it being a little windy, we could not go too close to the shore where the coral would've been better. So we were in the deep and couldn't really see much apart from a couple of fish. Then we headed back to the ship after this (another $5 USD ea).

We had one day sailing now. This was the time to get involved in the activities on board the ship. Apart from the gym and swimming pool, the staff organize activities such as trivia, board games (like pictionary, scattegories or outburst), table tennis, water volleyball, line dancing and ballroom dancing. So much to do on board... And if you want to relax, there's always movies in your cabin or a screening at the cabaret lounge. You can also just chill out at the pool but just make sure to grab a lounge chair by 10am...these get taken up quickly especially if it's a nice day.
