All I can say is we just got back and we are ready to go again! The service on the ship, food and drinks, the beautiful people and culture of the Tahitian people. Awesome to open up your balcony curtains and see nothing but lush green jagged mountains and then have room service bring you breakfast. Want a cheese burger at 2 am after dancing all night, just ask. The beach party on Taha'a private Motu Mahana was over the top fun, this place looks like 'Gilligan's Island'. While the stop a Huahine was extremely relaxing. You can jump on a free bus that takes you around most of the island from the tender dock. There were a few things on the negative side though. The beer on the ship was never really cold. Also we did the ride the wave runner around Bora Bora excursion, the brochure says it's a 2.5 hour excursion but they don't tell you it's from the time you get off the ship. So you basically rent a wave runner for an hour, and it wasn't cheap. Also kinda sucked that we had to wake up at 4am after a night of partying to catch our 7am flight. Honestly though I didn't want to leave this place! I can see why the mutineers from the Bounty didn't want to return to England. p.s. good idea to bring a water proof camera. you'll need it for the 100's of pix you'll take above and under the water of this paradice

Cabin Review

Comfortable room with a great shower and good A/C. Getting a balcony is a must. The maid and room service were excellent.
