currently aboard the legend, I will update this thread with name of each terminal as we make our way up the coast of France. Google maps should tell you everything else.

Live from The Star Legend, and having zero problems bringing wine back to the ship. If you board on deck four, they have the same wine allowance sign (unlimited) as the sign I posted earlier in this thread. As usual everything is superb on here, beautiful crew.

Thanks again Misty, my partner suggested we show him our appreciation on the final day, that way any awkwardness will be short lived since we’ll be gone, and he gets to enjoy the token of gratitude.

Ah Misty Morning, superb answer, thank you for that info.

I have a question for those who like to tip extra to the cabin steward, restaurant and bar staff. How do you feel about tipping an asst maitre’d who has virtually adopted you and your needs? Currently on board the legend and don’t want to offend said party by being inappropriate.

Thank you kc, my travel agents web site shows the same cruise leaving Papeete at 6pm Thursday 19th. I am pleased that Windstar is accurately showing the delayed departure. We’re considering the 10 day cruise on September 18th. I’ll be sure to have my agent correct the departure time. It’s crucial for folks who would like to land at PPT on the Thursday, but think they’ll miss the ship edit: So I just just looked at Windstars site and they do indeed disclose that your cruise will not depart until 05.00 am on the 20th of October . However, they state the September 18th cruise leaves at 6 p.m. on the 18th. Definitely worth our while checking closer to cruise time. Have a fantastic cruise kc.

Does anyone have an update on the actual sail away time for this cruise from Papeete harbor. I know the itinerary continues to say 6 p.m. but In the past the windspirit has remained tied up at the harbor till the following morning. Anyone’s recent experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you P.S. this question applies to The WindSpirit only

Sorry, I should have added that the sign suggests that you can pick up bottles of wine at ports along the way for consumption, just like the ones you’re allowed at embarkation. That of course is a contradiction to what is written in the setting sail guide.

Mnocket, I think the policy that you quoted contradicts the sign posted by the gangway on the breeze. Is it just me or does the sign indicate that you may bring wine on board for consumption (corkage fee if consumed in public, restaurant etc).

Getting on the Star Legend soon, so a question. Has anyone who was recently onboard the Legend seen a sign like the one I photographed on the Star Breeze last December?

Thanks r&rd. I’m pleased you had a great time.

We are boarding April 8th. Please keep us updated on air conditioning issues. Thank you

R&rd Thank you, we have fond memories of Hubert, looks like he is on the Pride or maybe on vacation.

r&rd We are sailing April 8th thank you for the update. Without invading the crews privacy what is the first name of the maitre’d please?

2Love, this deck plan explains it all. Most beds in the new section are real queens beds which obviously cannot be converted to twins. We just so happened to wind up in one of the few new suites that still put two twins together. https://www.windstarcruises.com/BlankSite/media/deck-plans/StarClassdeckplan.pdf

Maybe Windstar were confused, or maybe some queen beds in the new section are truly queens and since they can’t be sawn in two, must remain as queens. In our new ste 629 they had put two twins together with a t bar down the middle ,which the crew would have been happy to separate if we asked them to.

sorry I made a mess of quoting 2lovetotravel

we were in ste 629, one of the new suites on the breeze last December. There were twins pushed together.

We are leaving on the 8th April. We were told it would be terminal E in an e mail dated March 7th. from Windstar. If you have already contacted Windstar unsuccessfully about this, keep calling in until you get someone who knows.

I’m new to Oceania, Can I purchase a cruise only ticket (not an O life ticket ) and then purchase the house beverage package pre cruise for $29.95? Thank you edit, looks like price is now $39.95. Is it still $39.95 if you wait till you are on board ?

Here is a deck plan for the legend. All deck three suites are walk in showers https://www.windstarcruises.com/BlankSite/media/deck-plans/StarClassdeckplan.pdf

CC Cruiser. The deck three suites are virtually the same as the majority of the other suites, and yes there is a walk in shower.

You might, repeat might, have an issue between Tahiti and the Marquesas, or between Tahiti and Fakarava. But most of your time you’ll be close to shore with no problems. You’re clearly experienced sailors, go for it! Just promise not to kidnap any of the crew when you disembark, (you’ll wish you could). To give yourself maximum assurance do the mid ships lower deck thing for cabin selection.

Was on the Spirit March 2022. Yacht club is the first place to find coffee, in a serve yourself urn. Can’t recall if it’s 05.00 or 06.00, sorry. Anyway, room service is 24 hours so the night before you can fill out the breakfast card and state the time you want your coffee delivered

This question refers to cabin 309 on The Star Legend, although I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has stayed on deck three in general on any of the yachts Thank you
