The problem IMO with Tahiti Explorer is 2 fold.

 

1. Many of the 'experts' on that forum are travel agents or have a vested interest in which advice they may give. I've personally meant many of them so I know this to be true. Most are very nice people but do have a vested interest in the advice they give.

 

2. The owner of the site owns his own travel agency and therefore has a vested interest in what is said or deleted.

 

Are there 'experts' that have been there many times and can give good advice? Certainly but is it slanted?

 

That is one reason I love CruiseCritic, for the cruiser and there are not 'experts' ........ just seasoned travelers sharing their experiences and advice.

To clarify a couple points.....

1. Many of the experts on T-E are travel agents? Really? Do tell. Which ones? Other than the owner of the site, Yves, there is not a single agent that posts on that forum.

2. The only things ever deleted on T-E are spam, and comments mentioning other travel agencies...and YOUR insensitive culturally racist comments.

I'm sure the fact Yves had you banned from T-E has absolutely nothing to do with your opinion of that forum.

Carry on here in CC Tiki. You seem to have an adoring captive audience that hangs on your every word.

Had to have the last word again, huh Tiki?

It is not a matter of the value of the information you provide...it is your constant degradation of others opinions. The only opinion that ever matters is yours. And you make a point of it every time someone posts something even slightly contrary to your opinion. And then you always come back with the same old "well I have over 20 years of experience so my opinion is the most important". And you can't seem to why that ruffles the feathers of others?

Tiki, is it possible that you will ever not have to have the last word in any conversation?

Or are you just going to threaten to take all your toys and leave again? How many times have you said you were leaving, only to come back a few days later? And on how many forums (in addition to this one)?

According to les Nouvelles on Nov 6, the Legends Resort in Moorea, was placed in receivership on October 28. Not sure what that means for the future, if it stays open or what.
