Yes. The only negative was the stairs to disembark came down by our window in a couple ports. It turned out to be a minimal inconvenience since we were out of the cabin all day. 

We loved all the ports. We hired a local boat and spent a day on a moto. Go snorkeling at least 3 times. We did the E bikes, fun! 

It was very rough seas between islands for us, 12-15 ft seas, so no one noticed engine noise. 

We wished we’d booked an extended stay post cruise in Bora Bora. We made some wonderful friends. Cant wait to go back!

Leaving in a couple days. Only received online documents. Were the previous cruisers able to check in for Air Tahiti online before leaving?

I am just off the Wind Spirit as of day before yesterday. I think you'll be absolutely fine in 129. We were on deck 1, and I did a sort of "walk through" down the hallway, forward to aft, listening for noise and vibration, and I thought the most quiet section (at least in the hallway!) was right where you'll be. Admittedly, I have not been in the actual cabin 129. Before I booked our Tahiti cruise I thoroughly researched the Windstar threads for quiet rooms on the Wind Spirit. Here is what my research showed:

 

Quiet: 118, 120, 121, 131, 132, 134, 137, 224

 

Noisy: 112, 114, 119 (119 got especially bad reviews), 207, 212, 214, 215

 

 

Honestly, I don't see how 118 can be quiet and 119 can be noisy when they're right across the hallway from each other, but there you have it.

 

Cabins 205, 207 & 209 were felt to be a little bothersome due to proximity to the tenderoperation.

 

Hope this helps.

****We're in 217 leaving this week. Off topic...Is it really necessary to have 'water shoes' to get out of launches and walk in the water. Risk of stepping on coral? Any other tips?

Thank you,
