Lisa,

We did 2 weeks on the PG last August/September. On week 1 we had signed up for Lagoon Discovery with Snorkeling on our second day in Moorea but it was cancelled because not enough signed up for it. (Less likely to happen to you on a full sailing.) We signed up for that excursion on our first day in Moorea the second week and it turned out to be our favorite excursion of the cruise.

On our second friday we rented a car from Avis at the dock for 4 hours. We had requested box lunches from the ship (placed order 24 hours in advance) and ate our lunch from the PG at the Bellevedere. Four hours was enough time to drive around the island and make 4 stops (two of which lasted about 30 minutes each). Our cost for a compact stick shift with A/C came out to $66.00 US plus we paid about another $10 for gas.
