1.Is the in room safe large enough to store a laptop

2.Is beer included (husband's question!!) and is there a decent selection of it?

3.What is the cost of daily wi/fi internet use?

4. Do men generally need a blazer?

1. Yes

2. Yes - terrific selections of wine, beer and alcohol, and wonderful mixed drinks - all free.

3. Courtesy of the Paul Gauguin website (pgcruises.com):

The ship is equipped with a state-of-the-art communication system. An Internet Center is centrally located with seven computers.

4. Most men never wear blazers - the few that do only do it on Captain's reception. These are the South Seas - informality reigns supreme!

1. I disagree with Joe, no it's not big enough for a laptop--a netbook or ipad maybe. But you don't really need to lock up a laptop. Of course you could bring a cable lock but I wouldn't bother.

 

2. Lots of Heineken and the local (very good beer) Hinano. Not sure about other brands, but they have Bud for sure.

 

4. No.

The safe is NOT large enough for a laptop. It will fit a couple of wallets, pills, docs, etc, but that is it. Honestly, no need to lock up your laptop with the type of passengers on this sailing.

 

You already have the answer for the Internet plans. I went through about $120 on my 14 night cruise because of the many times I SKYPED.

 

Leave the jacket at home :)

I found the safe to be unusually small -- smaller than most hotel safes.

I travel with a considerable amount of jewelry (have to wear it somewhere) and I had to squeeze it in.

 

Personally, I would not worry about leaving a laptop in the cabin. My husband had a $5000 camera which he left in the cabin and we were not the least bit worried.

I concur with all of the above.

 

Also...once you have enough nights on the PG...Internet is free!:D

 

If you have sailed before (on the Regent run PG) make sure you tell the Hotel Manager. They will usually grandfather in your Gold or Silver Seven Seas Society status.
