Arriving in Papeete! A beautiful day!

Tonight's extra dish in the Reserve Dining Room was a sirlion steak.

$3

I might have a recommendation after tomorrow. Stay tuned...

What's a brolly??? 🤷‍♂️

Below is a link to a long thread started 7 hrs ago on the topic..

It is now 1:20 pm and even though it's in the 80's, it did not clear-up. It is actually looking worse.

🤷‍♂️ ???

Yes, the Fitness Center is now on Deck 6 and there are no windows. Sucks!!! The Dolphin Deck mini's are right above the water shuttle boats and "can" be noisy at times in the early morning hours. Even though the Island Princess is now our least favorite ship in the fleet, we are booked in a Baja Deck Reserve Collection mini-suite for the March of 2026, 54-day voyage. We book our cruises based on the itineraries, not the ship.

Good morning Sea Day #5. A bit windy, warm, and rain clouds on the horizon.

Tonight clocks go forward one hour to HST.

Tonight we had our second dinner at The Catch. It did not dissapoint!!! Debbie had the Tale of Citrus Marinated Lobster Tail for her appetizer. I had the Calamari Appetizer. Debbie had the Concerto Linguine for her main course. I had the Dover Sole. Photo before tableside deboning. After deboning Parmesan Fries We both had the "Chantilly Lace" (vanilla ice cream filled) for dessert.

Below is a link to the August 10th Enchanted Roll Call, there is no August 14th cruise.

Debbie has found a new afternoon pastime and a new favorite game. For the past three days at 2 pm, she has been meeting with a group of fellow passengers we met at Vines, at the Double Down Lounge to play Left-Right-Center, a dice game. 🎲 There have been 8 to 12 players. I watched the first day. But since I don't play well with others, I have been retreating to our cabin for some quiet reading time! 🤪

We just had "Ocean Terrace" sushi lunch at The Catch (sushi available at lunch only on sea days) with our new Aussie friends. Great meal and had a super time! All four of us had the set menu. It was delicious and plentiful.

What is the app you are using for the ship tracking? CruiseMapper.com Great idea with the calendar. We are doing the 2025 TA and first time we have a lot of sea days. That will be a tracking method. I always make a calendar at home, it is a very easy reference as to where we are and when we will be there!

Oh noooooo! 🥺

We did on a previous cruise. We were not impressed. It was like going to a Panda Express. But, we know folks that loved it. 🤷‍♂️

Looks like we might have some rain in Papeete.

We avoid dealing directly with Princess by using a FANTASTIC Travel Agent. She deals with any and all issues that may arise. Much less stress for us at the same cost.
