Darec---Well, you're going to Tahiti before I will, so I expect a full report, LOL!!! I'm going on the L.A./Tahiti/L.A. trip on the Navigator on Nov. 8th. I'll be interested to hear how you compare RSSC to the mega-ship you guys were on before!! I think I recall that your wife was into cooking--RSSC has some wonderful Cordon Bleu cruises where cooking lessons are part of the cruise. Liz
