crowpro Posted March 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What if you stay on Moorea pre-cruise and then plan on taking the ferry back to Papeete on embarkation day and the weather is bad? Is that a problem or do the ferries always run. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgastin Posted March 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2015 If you pose this question on the Ports of Call ...South Pacific boards you will be able to get an accurate answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted March 13, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The weather would have to be very bad for them to cancel all the ferries, all day. The fast catamarans maybe, but there's a bigger car ferry that looked very ship-like to me--I would imagine it can go in almost any weather. I wouldn't worry too much about this issue.

Thanks While I agree this is probably a question better put in the Ports of Call forum, I can tell you that I've been there three times and taken the ferry back and forth, including one time when it was pouring rain and the swells were huge. I remember feeling a little green on that ride :o but the ferry still ran. It's not a long ride - 30 to 40 minutes - and it's in a channel so unless you're in the midst of a SERIOUS storm (very rare for that part of the world - they do not get hurricanes or cyclones there), the ferry will run.

Well, I do beg to differ on one point, LeeAnne, they do occasionally get cyclones (the dock at Motu Mahana got swept away by one.) But...if there is such a SERIOUS storm, no doubt the cruise would be affected too, not just the ferries, lol!
