We are on the Massadam cruise and traveling to the French Polynesia Islands in early November. We have planned a day 1 at Matira beach On Bora Bora and Day 2 on Bora Bora we will be taking a shark, ray and coral garden snorkeling trip. That leaves us with Moorea and Papeete as our next two stops. My question is which of these two island would be better ,meaning more to see, as a land tour excursion and which would be better to use as a water type activity excursion. We are in our 60’s and do love nature, wildlife and the water. Thanks in advance .

Thank you for reporting and sharing your adventures. I can’t imagine that many days at sea. We are testing the waters with a 30 day cruise in October. Loved your video of the falls.

You could try ship services.  Phone: 1–800–541–1576

Thank you. I called and found out we were on the waiting list but the wonderful woman I talked to that was in charge changed us to confirmed seating and the table

i wanted was available. Now that is what I call service.

I want to call and request a certain table for the main dining room. I recall the mentioning of this in your posts and I even followed through and downloaded the diagram of the dining room. However, I cannot seem to find what number I  can call and who I call! Help please

Who do I contact from Holland to get a certain table for the main dining room?

Can’t wait to hear about your new adventures.

Thank you all I found it . Pier 2C . The site was a wonderful help.

Thank you. I am trying to book a private tour. Our arrival is not until Oct 25 2020. Yes, I am one of those people that plans early. Lol

Thank you for detailed reports of the ports.

Have used either pier 2 or pier 11 (by Aloha clock tower) cruise terminals on HAL ships in Honolulu.

Is there anyway of knowing the exact pier? A site perhaps that lists it.

We will be on the Massadam .Can you tell me what pier that the Massadam uses in Honolulu?

Following ...We are on the NS for two weeks starting the end of January. Thank you for your excellent tips and posts.

Following .. we are doing a 14 day cruise end of Jan. Thank you for the detailed report

Great picture.

Can you provide the link to the web cam?

Enjoying your report as always especially since we booked a 2020 Pacific Crossing out of San Diego. Looking forward to hear about your travels.

Thank you for your wonderful posts. Just booked a Pacific Crossing next year and am delighted with all your helpful information.

Late to the party. We are going on the 30 day PC next year. Thank you for all the Massdam tips.

Thank you daisy-Mae for your input. Can you recall if they have dedicated loungers for those rooms that do not have sliding glass doors on that deck?

Hello all,

My DH and I are looking to book on the Maasadam for their 30 day South Pacific Crossing. Right now there is a private sale going on. The Lanai rooms are all booked. When I called directly to Holland all I could get with this private sale was a guarantee veranda room. With my vacation club I could get the promos at a discount and book a specific verandah 050 or 065 which Are the last two verandas before the sea pool on the Navigation Deck.  I would love to hear from experience Maasdam travelers about this area on the ship as to noise or smoke. (We are not smokers) And those who have booked a guaranteed room before and their opinions.

Thanks so much ,Jill.

Thank you AlohaLivin for sharing you trip with me.
