Hi imcpa:

We are also going on May 23rd. Be sure to sign up on the roll call sheet so we all can meet on the ship.

I haven't been on PG before, but from previous sailing experiences I would assume that the roughest days will be when we are on the open sea. That should be the days we go from Bora Bora to Rangiroa and the "at sea" day. Most of the other sailings are short hops, so it might be rough for short periods of time. I requested a seasickness patch from my doctor as insurance for our at sea day even though I'm a good sailor. Best be prepared, just in case it gets rough. Perhaps someone who has been on this itinerary can answer your question better.

As for how many children will be present, the cruise is before many schools finish their year, so there should be less than in the summer months. Can you call PG and ask?

i hope this helps. See you aboard!

How do I sign up for the roll call for the 23 May cruise? Thks

Last year the roughest day was at sea. May can be a windy time so be prepared in any event.

If you dont like meds ask room service or your waiter to bring you a bowl of crystallized ginger that will help you if the ship tosses.

The bands work for me. I found that the 1st night out was rough for me.

I have called before other trips (waiting a few weeks after final payments are due, the travel company should then have a handle on the demographics) I know for an upcoming tour to Ecuador and the Galapagos they were able to tell my TA how many of each age group would be traveling, ( ie 3- 14 yo, 4- 12 yo etc) so my teens know that while they would be the oldest on the trip, they also know that many are only a year or two younger.

You could try calling PG! But they may not be able to give the info for security purposes.

BTW- for Cville_-your roll call is posted under Roll Calls; PG, then look for your dates...its here:

The sea day could be rough, or just swells, or completely smooth. No way to tell. The evening you take off from Bora Bora could be rough, once you're out of the lagoon on your way to Rangiroa.
