windspirit in tahiti vs paul gaugain

[MASKMAN]

trying to decide if I want to spend the extra $$ on paul gaugain. Windstar provides airfare, hotel one night before, transfers and 7 days for about 4400$ I'm not sure if the excursions are extra or not. I'd like to windsurf, I'm not sure if thats available. Alcohol is extra on windspirit, I believe. Does anyone have an opinion one way or the other?

Thank you.

Forgot to ask.... I'd like to windsurf... is that provided?

I have sailed on the Paul Gauguin two amazing times, however never on Windstar (although I always wanted to experience their 'exotic' Caribbean itinerary). The Wind Spirit and the Paul Gauguin both offer a watersports platform off the back of the ships. Wind Spirit has swim, kayaking, paddleboarding, water skiiing, and windsurfing. The PG has kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, complimentary snorkel equipment.

I would suggest checking out the Paul Gauguin Cruises forum for discussion on PG vs. Windstar and similar threads: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=627. (You can do a Search there, such as 'Windstar'). You are sure to have a fantastic French Polynesia cruise ! P.S. Also peruse the Paul Gauguin Cruise Line forum for discussion on a variety of subjects: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=627. cool:
