Thanks for posting the photos. Is there an additional shower that is not seen in the bathroom photos? Or do persons who prefer a shower need to use the hand held showerhead and do their best not to get water all over the floor?

Wendy is correct, there are lots of visitors to Tahiti who are not cruising. I would guess that the cruisers are in the minority. Check out the website www.tahiti-explorer.com and you'll get an idea. One of their least used sections is “cruises”.

Bill and I did not take our first cruise until we were in our 50's. We preferred doing things on our own and definitely wanted to stay away from the large crowds of mega cruise ships. Then we happened to discover RSSC and got spoiled. I do have to admit that I miss the private resort beaches free from crowds we used to frequent in the Caribbean before increased tourism and other factors killed off so much of the coral there.
