Thanks for all the replies.
I realise this is "top end" -with "No competition" but I cannot see this as value for money, more a "what the market will bear" so obviously not for me.
I was looking at the 22 day Buenos Airies to Antratic-Valpariaso Chile cruise for $1532, for far better value and priced accordingly.
Each to his own.

Travel much?
A 4 star hotel in a major city will easily set you back $300-400/night. Dinners at >$150/couple. Add transport, entertainment, excursions, booze, and/or whatever else may be provided by a premium/luxury cruise line and you’ll quickly realize that $1k/night is hardly out of line.
61 Countries last time I counted

New to cruising so apologise if I'm missing something here but:
Why is a 7 day cruise from\to Tahiti with either PG or Windstar a staggering £3K (discounted minimum) per person?
Equates to £1000 PER NGHT for a couple??
Seems a crazy price.

Could not get a good focus on the daily activities page so I need to ask a couple of questions...
It looks like the ship sailed at 8 pm from your first port? Is that right? The lifeboat drill was at 5pm? That's what it looks like to me but I want to confirm. We get on the ship heading south from our land tour around 5 pm and hope that we will be able to book Pinnacle Grill or MDR for 6 pm and still have time to see the sail away.
Nope
IIRC the ship sailed at 5PM (from Vancouver) and the drill was at 4.30 PM

VERY relaxed as in you might want to lighten the suitcase by skipping the formal wear. I dressed up and felt out of place all night.
I went to the "formal " night in jacket and tie as did most men.
Been to the other nights on clean jeans and short sleeved top-no problems.
Lido dress code is that you must be:eek:

Heard another server say the same thing. :(
I also confirm you cannot use a beverage card during Happy hour:mad:
Mines a $50 freebie from the tour Co ( as is Mrs B's:D )
Also you cannot buy Alaska beer in Happy hour despite it being less than $7:mad::mad:

I'm saying it appears to be on the honor system. There is a table if you want to go over and state you brought more than bottle, then pay $18 each. I could have had 6 bottles in my backpack, even liquor and would have got through without a hitch.
Same experience here.
Backpack scanned, advised they had spotted the two bottles in there and I had to go to the bottle desk to check them in.
Just as a test I just strolled past them and on my way-no-one bothered to ask as there is no comms between the scanner personnel and the bottle table
So IMHO easily open to smuggling:cool:
My two bottles were legit BTW
Value for money-7 days for £3K per person?

But the thing is a priced all those trips with reasonable costs and value.
We went RTW in 2019 (3 month trip) for about £5K TOTAL.
