Sorry I didn't post more often, but not only was the Internet expensive, I was having difficulties with my photo software. Glad so many beautiful photos were posted especially toward the end of the trip. If I come across any of mine that are a little different, I'll post.

The weather was spectacular and we were very busy with excursions. Cheron and I had done very well with our selection of private excursions, and the two that we took through PC Cruises were also very good.

The PG may not be Regent, but it is still very good. For the most part the food was excellent--but not as consistent as we find on Regent. And it does take getting used to the smaller cabin after being spoiled on the Regent ships. However, nothing can beat the beauty of French Polynesia in our opinion. This was our third PG cruise, and we hope to go back some time. We also enjoyed our pre-cruise at the Intercontinental on Moorea.

I hope to do a much better job reporting on our Valparaiso - Papeete cruise on Oceania after Xmas. There will be plenty of sea days and free Internet! I'll also attempt to compare the experience with Regent.
