Tahiti 7 night vs 10 night sailings

I am trying to determine which sailing to reserve. The 7 night does not have any sea days (benefit) and has 2 overnight stops. The 10 night has 2 sea days (not a benefit) and only has 1 overnight but offers a little different itinerary. Can anyone give me insight on the options?

Thanks!

It's really your personal preference. Sounds as if you don't enjoy sea days, so maybe seven days would be a good fit.

We took the 7-day and loved it. If we were to do it all over again, we'd take the 7-day cruise and then spend another 3 days on Bora Bora afterward. Even though Bora Bora is the one island where you get to spend 2 days during the cruise, it only left us wanting more. The lagoon is indescribable, and the snorkeling is unforgettable.

50 shades of blue...... we're going back for sure. 7 or 10 days, you can't go wrong either way. Hard choice.

Confession: We already went back, LOL! After our November "Dreams of Tahiti" cruise, we were so obsessed with the Bora Bora lagoon that we jumped on a cheap hotel deal we saw on TripAdvisor and cashed in some award miles to go back to Bora Bora a week and a half ago! Favorite place in the world!

Thanks for the replies. Would you do Bora Bora over Moorea? It seems that people suggest Moorea as you can get there on the ferry. How long does the ferry take?

The ferry to Moorea is just 30-45 minutes from Papeete, and is right next to the cruise ship dock.

Round-trip airfare PPT-Bora Bora is $400 per person, so at first glance, it seems more cost-effective to spend a few pre/post cruise days on Moorea instead. BUT, if you're like us, you'll just want to go back to Bora Bora once you've been there, so spending a few more days on Bora Bora after your cruise would actually save you a whole separate trip, i.e., $1,500 per person in international airfare from L.A.!

We stayed at the Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora, which is right on its own little beach, is just a 7-minute walk from beautiful Matira Beach and several restaurants and a 3-minute walk from a grocery store. It will save you tons of $$ over staying at one of the international resorts on the private islands, where you are stuck paying for food at their expensive restaurants and need to take a boat to the main island to do anything. The Maitai does have over-water bungalows, if that's something that's on your bucket list. The views from their ocean view hillside rooms are amazing, though. Highly recommended. We booked through TripAdvisor and got a ridiculously cheap room rate due to rainy season ($150 per night including all taxes and fees).
