Tahiti (Papeete) Romantic Cruises Reviews

We were on the Regatta from Australia to New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa x 2 and French Polynesia. My feedback is as follows: 1. Staff - very friendly and generally eager to please. However, tend to be a number who lack training, so service is variable. 2. Cabins - please don't pretend they are state rooms, it insults the passengers! Generally basic, but good enough, but shower area is tiny. Bigger ...

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 ...

This was our first Regent cruise. We have previously sailed with Viking,Virgin, Celebrity, Holland, MSC, NcL and Carnival mostly in suites. We are childless couple in our sixties and started cruising in 2018. We are active and enjoy great food and drink. We always enjoy ourselves. This cruise was disappointing from the very start. The ship is older but not well maintained. The crew was ...

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 ...

Regent is going considered a six-star line, but as an experienced cruisers we found this to be a five-star ship. Here are a few notes (issues and highlights by category): Accommodations: Exceptional suites, extremely lean and despite their age are very well maintained, albeit with a somewhat outdated color palette. Very comfortable bedding, ample closet space, shower and tub separated, ...

Overall a great experience. Lost Moorea due to weather and Nuku Hiva was a waste of fuel. Should have added more time in Bora Bora. Ship is old but kept up pretty nicely. Air conditioning worked perfectly. Crew is great led by Ray, cruise director, who was everywhere. Boarding: This was a mess with a long line as everyone seemed to board at the same time. Conversely, the disembarkment was ...

The positives: Wonderfully friendly, nice, helpful crew. My Butler, Van, was as nice as pie- I felt like he was my son- and so funny too! My hair highlights were done and corrected by Maria, in the Salon- and she fixed my color, (which had been ruined in Athens 5 months earlier), which I thought couldn’t be done- just amazing. Unfortunately we both forgot to give me the formulas she used, so I ...

I want to preface this review by acknowledging that every cruise is different. Even if you exclusively sail on a specific ship, each itinerary, each new contingent of crew, entertainers and passengers all combine to create a very specific experience. I say that as I will try to review what should be similar on any cruise on Regent Navigator into account. We've previously sailed on Regent ...

After going to Hawaii yearly for 10 years for a medical meeting French Polynesia has been on our bucket list for some time. What better time to go than Paul Guaguin’s and our 25th anniversary Thank you all for your recommendations which undoubtedly added to the value and peace of mind in planning this adventure 10 Day Tuomotus/Society island cruise 1-21 through 2-3-2024 Day 1. ...

This was my 80th birthday present and travelled with my 79 year old wife. We are both active and have no mobility issues as the vessel has no elevators. We have been to Hawaii a half dozen times, but Tahiti has always been on my list. We are experienced travelers having spent time in six continents. I did a lot of research and Windstar seemed to fit the the bill for us. We are from Maine and have ...
