Will you be in Raiatea or in tahaa?

I believe the couch to a bunk is only in the super family rooms. At least this is what the key looks like on the msc website. Not certain though

I have the mealtime drink package and I do believe that it is good in buffet during the POSTED Lunch & Dinner hours. For example, there are "snacks" until 6pm, and then DInner 6-9 (ish), then it goes into Late night or something. I'm pretty darned sure (though I won't know until Saturday) that I can't just camp at a table in buffet from noon to midnight and get my included wine....... because If I could, I would. And I'd bring a book.

Just sayin' :confused:

I see you are sailing soon, have an excellent time. I look forward to your info on the mealtime drinks package. I have it with my family of 8 in January. 5 adults, 3 under 21. Curious on the mealtime drinks and on the 12 drink vouchers on Fantastica. I am hoping this will be enough for the adults.

They are indeed French flagged vessels and I estimate more than 50% of the passengers were French. The balance were American, Canadian, other Europeans, Australians, an extended family group from South Africa, and a few from Hong Kong. There was a Tauck group on board that was, I believe, almost all American.

 

We speak no French and the crew spoke English ranging from fluent to a little broken. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful time and would sail with them again in a heartbeat. In fact, we are looking at a late 2015-2016 return to Antarctica (with South Georgia this time) and Ponant will be our first choice.

Hi Mike,

I am working on booking a Ponant cruise. I left a message for Ponant a week ago and have heard nothing back. How far in advance did you book? We are looking at a February 2016 sailing. I have a few emails out to a number of travel agents. Would you have any interest in sponsoring us? we are looking to book 2 cabins. I should have written to you earlier in the week, I was just stranded in Rhode Island after the storm, we might have been close.
