We are repeat clients of Paul Gauguin Cruises and first sailed in August 2010.
That cruise was exceptional & faultless so we decided to book again on the PG and recently returned from the South Pacific Discovery Cruise with 5 other friends.
Firstly, we were advised by our Australian Agent the night before the cruise departure date that the cruise would now depart one day late. This was due to the late removal of the ship from the dry dock. When we asked about the possible change of itinerary we were told that all cruises build in time into to the itinerary to allow for unforeseen delays and that the ship would speed up so that none of the ports would be missed -- however this did not happen.
