martini cruiser Posted November 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Just wondering how many Cruise Critic participants are usually on Paul Gauguin cruises? I started a roll call for Feb 26, 2011 ( 7 Night Society) and have not gotten anyone to reply. Is this the norm? Thanks, Martini Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenbob Posted November 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Obviously the number varies, but there were about a dozen CC folks on the last PG cruise that we took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini cruiser Posted November 15, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I know on these smaller ships you don't get a lot, but thought there might be a couple out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver330 Posted November 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I feel the same way. We are on the Nov.21,201 Presidents cruise and not one person responded to my roll call. Surely someone on CC must be on this cruise also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee Posted November 16, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Historically, there have not been a lot of ccers on the PG at any one time. It doesnt really matter as you will meet wonderful people and have a great time. Martini Cruiser if you are lonely you are welcome to hang out on our roll call - June 29th!

martini cruiser Posted November 16, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thanks, Emdee I will look in on your date, but I was hoping to see some activity on my date as I am interested in Patrick's excursion on Bora Bora. It's funny I took a SeaDream cruise that only had 86 people on it and at least 10 answered the roll call. Martini Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmalagngl Posted November 16, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Same with the August 10, 2010 roll call I started several weeks ago. It is early but only a response from Emdee so far. I think I'm going to hang out on the June 29th roll call to get my information until someone else arrives on the August 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Texed Posted November 17, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Martini Cruiser if you are lonely you are welcome to hang out on our roll call - June 29th! I think the folks on the June 18th cruise are much nicer. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Hills Posted November 18, 2010 #10 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Yes, we June 29er's were very prolific and were a tight knit group on ship. The Roll Call got us together and we stayed together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootfantasy Posted November 19, 2010 #13 Share Posted November 19, 2010 We are on the Feb 9th cruise and there are already 6 other couples on Roll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini cruiser Posted November 19, 2010 Author #14 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Looks like I may have better than anticipated service ( and I read it's pretty fantastic normally) because looks like there aren't many on my cruise if the roll call is any indication.

MtnDriver Posted November 19, 2010 #15 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Double Ditto! :D You guys are all a bunch of ship jumpers!:p HEY! I have an idea! How about if we ALL go from 6/18-7/9? You guys can smuggle us in your luggage and later we'll hide you in our rooms on 6/29 so you don't have to leave! Almost three weeks on the PG! WhoooHOOOO!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaiiliker Posted November 29, 2010 #23 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Someone posted that the ship is supposed to be refurbished in 2011 ..... probably long overdue. Furniture in our stateroom appeared to have been thrown about by Samsonite gorillas, a couch that felt like sitting on a crate. Food was top notch, and the crew, read that worker bees (mostly Philipinos and Polynesians) were all top notch. Not certain about the officers though ... any enjoyable or memorable cruise will be despite them not because of them. (problem solving by eastern block nationals is not exactly a successful thing) The deals offered may sound good, but anyone wanting a South Pacific cruise should look at all the offerings ... m/s Paul Gauguin may have gone the way of the artist. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(problem solving by eastern block nationals is not exactly a successful thing) ( I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this remark. Which captain did you have? The "main" one, ah, I've lost his name again, Zupan, is Croatian. Is that what you mean? All the senior staff were very pleasant last time I was on board.
