Hi,
The service on the PG was outstanding / top notch / blown away. The food quality was very good to excellent. There was a covid situation that was handled very professionally. I work in healthcare and have a lot of experience in managing covid outbreaks and the ship did an excellent job. My wife and I wore masks at times when in crowded indoor spaces once there was Covid and there were some other passengers that also wore masks but not a lot. People were cool with the masks and it wasn't a political type issue. We really enjoyed meeting some other really nice people. The passengers were all nice and everyone seemed to get along. I never saw anyone get upset or nasty.
It was a great trip. The Tahitian people are very sweet and loving.
It's so similar to Hawaii that I'm not sure I'll be going back any time soon. But I would like to visit again. It was our first cruise and I don't think we could have asked for anything more.
All the excursions are recommend expect for two that I noted below.

The above guys never responded so we booked the e-bike tour. This was a mistake. The land area is too small, there's not much to see. Much better to do something in the ocean.

· Coral garden drift snorkeling EXCURSION CODE: PFTAH57
Moorea, Society Islands
We did a PG arranged snorkel tour on Moorea which was good. We also rented a car for both days and did our own thing.
We liked Moorea the best. But, I would like to explore the main island of Tahiti more if we go back. Moorea was not too big and not too small.
