Tahiti (Papeete) Fitness Cruises Reviews

We are avid travellers and have been on numerous cruises including many with Oceania. Here's an overview of our most recent cruise with Oceania on the ship Regatta. The food is very good when it comes to your table hot. There were a few times in the dining room when the food was luke warm and we were served food on plates and bowls that were chipped or damaged. The buffet food is hit or ...

We’ve been on over three dozen Princess cruises and until recently we didn’t have any reason to stray from them. But the dream itinerary that we wanted to do was no longer offered by Princess. We booked the 10 day French Polynesia cruise a couple of times with Princess during Covid and it was cancelled. The final cancellation was because they sold the Pacific Princess and Princess no longer had ...

There were several ups and downs. Ours was not a luxury experience. We were not on the transfer list for the prepaid ride from the airport to the hotel. Took a taxi and had to hagle with ship crew to get reimbursed. The hotel, Tahiti Pearl, was in a beautiful spot but I would put it on par with a Best Western with a view Embarkation was the worst I have ever experinced. We waited in ...

Finest cruise at sea turned in to finest Marketing at Sea. Cuisine was ok in main dining room and better in specialty restaurants but similar to NCL and Princess specialty venues. Princess has tge best pizza at sea is true! Certainly not above the others. I found my self looking for peanut sauce for chicken sauté, none! Making my own tartar sauce for fish from mayo and mustard. ...

We booked this cruise on Oceania as a repeat cruise for my special birthday, having done this exact same cruise 7 years ago, and loved it! We have enjoyed many cruises before, both ocean and river, with various cruise lines, and expected a wonderful time on this smaller, high end cruise line. Before I begin, positives were great food, mainly pleasant staff, wonderful library, comfortable ...

We have just finished the Paul Gauguin 7 day Society Islands cruise. It was a very disappointing experience for many reasons. Firstly, the ship is old, and although the public areas have had a tasteful refit, the cabins, and specifically the bathrooms are dreadful. Replacing a shower curtain over a bath with a static glass panel, so that you have to lean right in to turn on and adjust the water ...

Chose this cruise for the unique opportunity to see both French Polynesia and Hawaii, and the ports of call did not disappoint. What did disappoint was the lack of effort and variety that comprised activities while at sea. With 4 straight days at sea, we were hoping for a full option of things to do, but the daily itinerary was pretty much recycled from one day to the next. There were not a lot of ...

Excellent service on the ship. Small ship, not too many people, this is good. Too many giant screens, not necessary at all especially when listening to a band playing music. The band Hotwire is excellent, if you want to dance. Disappointed that all communication are in English only. On other companies it is in multiple languages. Food was just ok. Japanese and Italian restaurants ...

We used the NCL Promotional Air - Most everyone had to as there are only two scheduled flights to Tahiti per day. They got us to LAX then had 3 maybe 4 charter flights to Tahiti. Lucky for us we were on one of the latter flights that was maybe 2/3 full so we could spread out. The seats in the economy section of the “Air Tahiti Nui” Airbus A310 were most uncomfortable. We arrived with no ...

The crew was great. Very friendly and glad to be working again after Covid. The food in the Garden Cafe lacked variety, was cold or over cooked, everything was in some sort of sauce, and they run out some basic items like butter. The production shows were great but there was a lack of other entertainment. Casino was closed while in Hawaii waters despite being well off shore. The Local was the ...
