Rare mariners Posted February 12 #303 Share Posted February 12 cruisin7, I love the photos and write-ups you are including on this thread. Even though I don't watch football, I would have attended that even just for the spread Regent put out 😀. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted February 12 Author #305 Share Posted February 12 We had a rough ride getting to Bora Bora, a tender port. Captain came on at 0730 to say it would be impossible to tender. It is raining buckets and high swells. So we are sailing to Pago Pago. This is our 5th missed port. I see Bingo in our future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusin7 Posted February 13 Author #306 Share Posted February 13 Good Morning Pacific Ocean! An unusual sight…blue skies. WHOO HOO! It was very rough yesterday. It rained much of the day. All open decks were closed. We were told to stay off the balconies. It’s so nice to have calmer seas. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted February 14 Author #309 Share Posted February 14 Good Morning Pacific Ocean! Happy Valentine Day 💕 Our reality…pouring rain and strong winds. Furniture tied up! Tomorrow is Pago Pago. Forecast is Thunderstorms. I hope we can get rid of this low pressure system soon. Still better than a day at work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladys Mom Posted February 14 #310 Share Posted February 14 So sorry you have so many bad weather days. Is this normal or unusual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pappy1022 Posted February 14 #311 Share Posted February 14 It is the rainy and windy season in that area of the world. There were also 2 cyclones that hit the area. So, it’s not uncommon to have rain and rough seas this time of year. Unfortunately, the larger ships including Regent sail there during the rainy season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardowMD Posted February 14 #312 Share Posted February 14 When is the best time to travel in that area. In researching cruise from Singapore, it said least amount of rain Feb-April. Then thought to add going back down to Australia/NZ. Seems like weather in November & December was better for cruises in this region than it is now for everyone in this area. Not sure if this region has different weather than Malaysia & Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dry season is May-October but rain showers are possible at any time. Humidity is lower as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pappy1022 Posted February 15 #316 Share Posted February 15 Just to be clear, humidity is lower in the May through October timeframe. Temperatures are slightly lower during this time as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted February 15 #317 Share Posted February 15 Varies by region. French Polynesia is usually great from May to October. We were in Singapore and Thailand in February, great time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted February 16 Author #322 Share Posted February 16 The Samoan people were so gracious and friendly. Miss American Samoa Judy Faafetai Taunu’u was a delight. She was on the dock when we arrived at 0800 and waved goodbye at 1800. What an excellent representative! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted February 19 Author #324 Share Posted February 19 Good Morning from beautiful Fiji! It is so green and lush. It is cooler than Samoa. We had a few showers during the day. We went on the Sabeto Village tour. Our guide John was excellent. Our welcoming committee. He guided our bus! Too cute! We were welcomed by the village Chief with a Kava Ceremony There was singing and dancing. The people were very kind and appreciative. It was a good excursion.
