Thanks, I'll do that. If the tour ends at 3:30 will we get to see any of the Children of Huahine show?

This is all new to me. Thought that's where I posted it ...sorry.

Hello. My husband and I are looking forward to celebrating our birthdays on this marvelous trip. We are from Ontario, Canada and are looking to communicate with others who will be on this cruise. We are also interested in booking some private tours (but they require a minimum of 4 persons). Looking forward to connecting with you....

Hello. I know there is a PGC motu in Ta' haa where you can spend the day on the beach. I think there is also a motu in Bora Bora with a private PG beach. Are there tenders out to these motus....how do you sign up?

Is there anything similar in Moorea...I see a trip called "BBQ on private motu" which I'm hoping would be less commercial than the "Beach day at the Intercontinental" but is the beach as nice? I am a beach lover!

Where is the snorkelling best on this trip? I was thinking of snorkelling in Huahine, Aitutaki and Bora Bora, Moorea. Should I do a land tour in any of those areas instead? I want to see whatever is the best feature for each specific island ( was thinking of land tour in Raratonga & possible Moorea). What do you suggest?

Thank goodness for the wonderful people on this site. The suggestions are invaluable. Much appreciated!!

Thanks for the information. How does one know if it's a real pearl or laminate (if you buy from a stall)?

We are stopping on 2 Cook Islands on this trip too. The 11 day journey is in early September. Should we normally expect rain or storms? I read some people had really rainy weather during this time period. I'm concerned if we book private tours and the ship is rerouted to avoid bad weather...

Thanks.

That makes sense. Thank you very much!

Our account balance will be paid off using our US credit card. However when we paid for our trip we were charged cross border transaction exchange fees because the PGC bank is outside the US. We have tried, unsuccessfully, to get an answer to whether we will be charged these fees again when we pay off our account on the ship. Has anyone had experience with this? Thanks again.

We are also from the Toronto area and heading to PF this fall. I'm reading that you need XPF for the stalls at Bora Bora motu. Is that for food and souvenir purchases? What kind of souvenirs are available at the stalls (how much should we bring)? Thanks, Cindy

I understand you pre-book excursions but upon boarding the charges go on your account. How do you go about using your OBC credit for these? Woukd you happen to know if you can use OBC for purchasing internet time? Thanks, Cindy

Looking for info on how to book "Marc's Moto Picnic Combo in Huahine" online. Cam anyone help me? Thanks very much. Cindy

Terrific review. Thanks SO much!!! We're taking this trip of a lifetime in Sept, celebrating our 60th birthdays. Doing to Society & Cook Islands; looking for reviews on Cooks. PG Private Beach in Bora Bora, is this the prearranged shuttle to Matira Pt/Beach or an excursion?How do we get info? What have you heard about Lagoon Excursion & Polynesian Feast with Patrick? Will we get similar food at Polynesian dinner on board? Lagoon is supposedly awesome.I'm really looking for a good wide secluded beach and I'm thinking this might be the best option on the trip. Any suggestions? Thanks so much, Cindy
