You will return to Tahiti at about 7:00 pm the evening before you have to leave the ship. The next day you have to leave the ship, more or less, by about 11-noon. Laundry can be put out early in the morning on the day your ship gets back to Tahiti and it should be back early that same evening.

Thanks for the reply. It really helps me plan how I should pack.

We will be on on the 7 night cruise to Tahiti. We bought the laundry package. I read that the last day to send laundry to be cleaned is the day before the last day of the cruise.

I am confused as to what is considered the last day. Is it the last full day of the cruise or the day we depart the ship?

Thank you everyone for your replies. Looks like the odds are with us and that's hopeful.

Is there a way to tell if we will fly on one of their newer planes? We now have the flight numbers.

I have read a lot about reef shoes and/or water shoes being necessary for this cruise. I have water shoes that have a closed toe and I have a pair of water shoes that are more like a sandal and they have a strap around my ankle and across my toes.

Can I get by with the sandal type shoe or do I really need the closed toe shoe?

Thanks for the information, Wendy. We are going in November so I would guess it won't change. The timing will be perfect!

Planning on taking two ship excursions .

Huahine Iti by 4X4 . The description says 3 hours.

and Taha's Exploration of Taha's 3.5 hours

Does anyone know if these tours take place in the morning or afternoon? I am trying to plan my days.

Is the day pass to Hotel Lapita a ship excursion? How is the snorkeling at the hotel?

Which nights are the chic nights on a 7 night Western Caribbean cruise?

I asked Emdee if she would send me a copy of her tips for a Paul Gauguin cruise. Sadly she replied that she no longer has them. If anyone has a copy, would you mind e mailing me her tips? MY e mail is florsun@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance.

I would love to have a copy of your hints, Emdee. Please send them to florsun@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I will enjoy making full use of our shipboard credit now that I know that it's use it or lose it.

If we have not used all of our ship board credit by the end of the cruise, will it be refunded to us?

What would be a good rate for a taxi from the dock to and from the Lagoonarium?

What dock will the ship ferry to? Will there be taxis there?

We will be on the Prinsendam and I noticed that the early dinner time is 5:45pm and 6:15pm, and, the main dinner time is 7:45pm and 8:15pm.Why are there two seating times for both the early dinner time and the main dinner time?
