Hello, we're currently enjoying the view from the internet cafe on the PG in Moorea looking at land from our anchorage in Opunohu Bay. Some really quick random updates, a long trip report to follow after our return next week (five days in Bora Bora post-cruise).

- At the Seven Seas Society party earlier this week, Captain Toni stated (if I heard him right) that the ENTIRE staff and crew WILL be staying on with the new ownership come January.
- The service, food, staff, entertainment, etc. are even BETTER than what we experienced 5 years ago - which was a baseline of excellence.
- I wish that I could say the same aboput Air Tahiti Nui and the Intercontinental Tahiti (pre-cruise) - they've both slipped, details in the upcoming trip report.
- Dominique is still the best Dive Master on the planet. We've done six dives on the ship, and today at Shark Gallery we were escorted for most of the dive by five HUGE Lemon sharks (between 8-12 feet long), and also saw some lion fish fully out in the open. Yesterday at the same dive site (Shark Gallery, our second dive yesterday after Ledges) there were dozens and dozens of Black Tip Reef Sharks, but today is was Lemon City!
- Siglo Rocks! These guys may be doing a cruise ship gig where they have to play many styles, but they don't fool us, these guys (especially Rhandy) are ROCKERS, and have taken a few opportunities to show it - awesome!
- Had rain the first three days of the cruise - didn;t stop us from diving in Raiatea and snorkeling at Motu Mahana - the weather has been perfect since arriving in Bora Bora.

That's all for now, but all is not only well on the PG, it is fabulous!

Cheers,
Ken
