A few more questions:

1. Embarkation time is listed at 3:00. Will they allow you on board earlier? (I know, I know--I said elsewhere that I was planning to board late. Just call me fickle.) I've been able to do this on a couple other RSSC cruises--just couldn't get into my cabin until later.

2. My flight on disembarkation day is not until 10:00 pm. Is there a place in or near the cruise terminal where I can store luggage while I play in Papeete during the day? I understand that there's a luggage storage place at the airport, but it seems silly to take a taxi out to the airport then back into Papeete then back to the airport again. FWIW, I've arranged my own air and hotel.

3. How are the ship's basic scuba diving lessons? Worth doing?

4. Does the water sports platform have one-person sea kayaks?

Thanks in advance. Y'all are the greatest!
