This was supposedly a 'luxury' cruise. Terrible! Go Crystal or stay home...or just fly direct to the islands worth seeing. (Contracted by PGcruises) Air Tahiti Nui--AWFUL. First Class is the only tolerable seat on the plane. PG (small, old, run-down, moldy) ship: cheesy staff entertainment, poor service, no A/C in main restaurant (?!?), loud hydraulic machine noises every morning 6:30-7:30am, cheap food w/repetitive menu, bulk cheap wines from Costco paired with any/every meal by the 'Sommelier.' Unhappy cabin maid and no where to swim ever unless you are paddling off the back of the boat, and even then no swimming is allowed. Rude Conciege/Reception desk with tons of 'French attitude.' Soooooo NOT worth it! We had bad weather to boot and it was the trip from HELL with a lame Captain who never communicates with the cruisers despite terribly dangerous sailing conditions. Tenders to shore were constantly cancelled and there was nothing to do onboard. We played shuffle board in the pouring rain. Oh, and NOT ONCE were we warned about how bad 'rainy season' can be. Even if it was perfect weather we would never waste this kind money on this cruise line ever again. They do give you a tiny cheap plastic 'beach bag' as a welcome gift after choking down some cheap Processo. It is laughable how bad this cruise line is. They should be ashamed of promoting themselves as a luxury liner.
Day room OFF The ship was awesome.
Nice hiking
St Regis and Four Seasons and Bloody Mary's--awesome
Nothing to do
