Such awesome pictures!!  Brings back so many memories!!  Hard to beat that part of the world.

There big fact that they love to flaunt is the amount of tourists they get in The Tahiti Islands in one year is less than what Hawaii gets in a year.  I truly believe it!!

meant what Tahiti gets for tourists in a year is what Hawaii gets in a day

Hello my friend!  Good to hear from you.  Say hello to our circle of friends in the Concierge lounge for us.  🙂   We are currently on Wonder docked up in Coco Cay next to Odyssey.  Missing you all.  

 

Hope the vote goes in your favor and everything goes well for you all.

Isn't there still a stairway down to the Windjammer? And they should have let you use the service elevator, if the weather was bad. 

 

That's the sneaky way that I meant.

Thank you. No we got on in LA and are leaving in Brisbane. Hopefully some on the cruise will continue posting after we disembark.

Your pictures are beyond awesome!  The crisp and clear looking water is amazing.  Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures!!

I miss Odyssey too.   Wonderful ship...but having a good week on Wonder.  🙂  Good day at Coco Cay....but still really miss the old island when it was a tendered port.  I know...just old fart.  😉

Nice day in Papeete. We went snorkeling and later on we walked around Papeete. Not as beautiful as Moorea but still very nice.

Moorea 

Papeete

 

not as many fish as Moorea but the water was wonderful.

Photos of Papeete. They have a nice promenade along the waterfront.

Loved all your photos, but thought this piece of local art was beautiful and different!

Enjoy Wonder as she is a great ship.

I sailed on her 6th cruise out of Ft Lauderdale in 2022.

Also hope you get dollars back for cancellation of other trip

Thanks.  🙂  Could be a lost cause trying to get our $$ back from Bankrupt American Queen Cruise lines...they were very tough to deal with from the beginning...a year ago. But indeed, I am going through the process.  Not much else I can do.   😞 

 

Yes, this is our 3rd time on Wonder.  We were on for a B2B Med cruise, and then stayed on for the 2 week TA before she came to PC for the first time.  Then last year, we were back on board for a B2B in same favorite cabin 1770 over Halloween.  All six weeks were lucky to have Grace as CK hostess/manager.  She is the BEST!!!  🥰 So thrilled she is on this week as well.

Funny you should mention that....Bucky is currently slapping on the sun screen, grabbing his book and heading up there.   Reports of his progress to follow.  😉 

[island lady]

I must say, as much as we love the Wonder....we are both really missing the Serenade.  😉  Looking forward to rejoining in July 🙂

What time will you know, is there a meeting again?

Sail away from Papeete last night.

[pspercy]

Does Papeete still have food trucks close to cruise dock?

[ringers0815]

The captain just announced that option 1 was chosen, immersive Africa. People are cheering!

I wonder if they knew where the shots go before they voted? 😉
