Thank you! That is good to know. In doing a little research, I had read that land wise Moorea rivaled Bora Bora. We have decided not to do the overnight to Bora Bora. Definitely, think it could be done, but there is always the possible problem with air travel and we felt like we could better use the island that we were on. I think if we love the islands, which I have a feeling we will, then we will just have to go back on a smaller cruise line or do a land trip. I appreciate a community that tries to preserve their natural surroundings and way of life. When I was in college I studied in Florence, Italy. It was amazing. Twenty years later, it was a port stop on a cruise. My husband and I made the bus trip to the city. I was so disappointed and it almost ruined my memories of this beautiful city. It was very Americanized and touristy as well as just plain too crowded. Of course, Florence is a large city, so we got away from the popular sights, and it became the charming Italian city place that I remembered. It would be difficult for a small island to recover like that.

Hello: Originally our ship was suppose to stop at Bora Bora, but due to changes in the law we are not now. Ship is too large. Anyway, I do not know that I will be in the area in the future and being advanced age, ie older, I was considering taking a flight to Bora Bora and staying the night. It is high on my bucket list. Has anyone done this? Are the flights reliable? Is Bora Bora more beautiful than the other islands? I would appreciate any insights on this.

No. I wish we were on it. That’s quite a lengthy trip. What region are you going to? We are bracing for super cold temps in Georgetown so you are definitely not missing anything there!

I can’t believe the coincidences! We are on this same cruise and are from Georgetown, Texas too! Hopefully, we will get the chance to meet in person

Ty! I’ll check that sight out.

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I’m hoping to get answers to insurance. We have multiple trips reserved for next insurance. Are there companies that will write a policy to cover them all? Is, are there advantages? We have taken multiple cruises in the past and not really worried about insurance for various reasons. Circumstances change though, like where the cruises travel to, length of cruises, our ages, etc. I have learned so much from this sight. I look forward to your insights.

I have been trying to use the Verifly app, but it keeps getting stuck on the selfie picture and states that there is no authentication. Has anyone else had that problem?

Can you call the upsell on your own or do you need your travel agent? I’m in a window room and was hoping to upsell to a balcony. I see that there appears to be many available. At what point do the mail at offers usually?

This was a great trip review. I do have questions on the airport situation. We will be on a cruise in August. We were just going to have our carry on bag and get off when the ship docks. Then grab a taxi to the airport. Our plane departs at 10:30. It’s tight I know but the next one wasn’t until 5. We have done this on the last three cruises and had plenty of time. So was the self de embarked slow as well? Was the TSA lines at the airport also jam packed? A little nervous about this one.
