Jeanine, Not sure if you're aware of this or not but you might want to consider moving your cruise up a week. On the May 28th Paul Gaughan there are a LOT of people here on this board all going on the Paul Gaughan. It would give you a chance to meet lots of new friends. Look on the roll call forum here under PIP (Paradise in Polynesia). Ngaire is escorting the trip which means good rates etc. but using her as your TA is not a requirement if you're booked elsewhere.
BTW, congratulations on your first cruise!
