Paul Gauguin - 2014-03-10 - 11 days - Society and Cook Islands
This is a somewhat difficult review to write as myself and my wife (64,60) experienced some highs we have never had on a cruise before, and some things we would never have expected on a cruise of this type.
We joined this cruise with a doctor and his wife who are friends and were taking the cruise and its medical related lecture series. You did not need to be a doctor to go on the cruise and he was engaged in lecture primarily on sea days. There were about 270 cruise passengers on board and approximately two-thirds of them were Canadian.
Cabin Review
When we booked our cruise and got the documentation showing us in room 625, I had a bit of a concern because of the location so near the elevator and stairs. The room was almost sound proof and we heard nothing at all from the public access points or from our next door neighbours. From a maintenance perspective, we did need the sliding door to the balcony fixed twice, but this was quite minor. Another minor issue which may want you to consider the other side of this floor was the tenders left from this side and one morning we could hear the special tender which allowed for direct beach access lowering. Again, minor. The room was large enough for us to move comfortably, there was a small two seater, a computer / writing desk, a small digital tv and dvd player, enough mirrors, and a well laid out bathroom with a shower inside the tub. I'd have no difficulty being assigned that room again if I was to ever sail on the Paul Gauguin again.
