Phil:

One thing you should know about the PG pool area is that it does not have those areas off to the side that are covered by a partial deck above, like most ships do. Your first port is Raiatea, and they present the "Children of Raiatea" show on the pool deck around 11:00 AM, and it is HOT! There's no shade in areas where you can see the show. But the show is great. If you are sun-sensitive, make sure to take an umberella, cover, or the like, and put on the highest SP sun lotion you can find!

Hope this helps,
Richard :) :) :)
