binbali Posted June 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Does anyone know if Solstice have dropped Moorea off all their itineraries from 2020? They arent stopping in Moorea on the April sailing Sydney to Hawaii in 2020. We were hoping to do Solstice in 2020 from Hawaii to Sydney,I think from memory they were released in October or November last year for 2019 sailing so 2 years out,can anyone confirm this?

zoncom Posted June 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Just back from 31N on her. Solstice is really too large to cruise the Islands over there .Consider the small ships of Oceania for a a much better experience. Moorea is not to be missed.

Cruise Junky Posted June 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2018 We originally wanted Solstice but ended up booking Radiance because of Moorea plus she’s a little smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2018 We did the Solstice transpacific in 2013 and one of our stops, and IMHO the best, was Moorea. Sad to hear that isn’t a part of the itinerary any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshikitty Posted June 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2018 in 2017, Moorea was not on the itinerary from Hawaii - Sydney, but it is in 2018 (October). So, it's certainly possible for Solstice to reach Moorea and there must be other reasons why they sometimes do and sometimes not. Moorea is certainly a very nice place, but we'd prefer Solstice without Moorea over Radiance ofS Moorea included, but that's personal taste.

Rare chemmo Posted June 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I may be wrong but I thought Moorea was usually on the Sydney to Hawaii cruise (April) but not the Hawaii to Sydney cruise (October). I seem to remember it is something to do with crossing the dateline...the first cruise gains a day the October one, which we did, looses a day.

Carole2313 Posted June 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2018 We are booked on the Apr 25, 2020 Sydney to Hawaii. The Solstice calls on Tahiti May 3rd 10a-10p. We hope that’s enough time see both Islands by using the 30 minute ferry ride over to Mo’orea. We’re very excited about seeing this part of the world!

They`ve also dropped the sailing down to 16 days :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted June 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I may be wrong but I thought Moorea was usually on the Sydney to Hawaii cruise (April) but not the Hawaii to Sydney cruise (October). I seem to remember it is something to do with crossing the dateline...the first cruise gains a day the October one, which we did, looses a day. We have done several trans-Pacific cruises, including two of the fall Honolulu to Sydney crossings. The first was on the now departed Century and the second on the Solstice. Both of those fall crossings stopped at Mo'orea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengaltiger1 Posted June 25, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I was on the April 17 Tahitian Treasures Cruise. IMO Moorea was the highlight of the cruise. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEOofVacation Posted June 25, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The one on RCCL 2020 Apr Radiance of the Seas has 2 days at Tahiti, one at Moorea and one at Bora Bora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really two days in Papeete, I believe it leaves just after midnight for Moorea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEOofVacation Posted June 25, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 25, 2018 It's not really two days in Papeete, I believe it leaves just after midnight for Moorea. You are right... I did not look at it closely. 1 day in Papeete, 1 day in Moorea and 1 day at Bora Bora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, it tricked me at first too. Still a better itinerary than Solstice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROCRUISE Posted June 26, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 26, 2018 THE best way to visit the Society Islands is with Windstar! Naturally, just my opinion but having done it, it was phenomenal. Also interesting that everyone wants to see Bora Bora but I found Moorea much more beautiful and exciting to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
