IC Tahiti Dinner Show

[Lvwindstar007]

We have the two night pre package at the IC. We have seen quite a few Polynesian shows over the years. Is it worth seeing? Our only previous visit to FP was the Windsong back in 1999. Jack in Reno, NV

Shows are ok at the IC - there are different ones. HOWEVER, save your money as you should go to the restaurant when the show starts and eat a la carte - the food is better than the buffet and you see the show anyway!!!

Don't we see a similar show on the ship?

The show at the IC Tahiti is the best professional show on the islands except for the dancing during Heiva l Tahiti.

 

The Gaugines do wonderfully on board but don't have the large numbers dancing together as you will see at the IC Tahiti.

 

Your golden goose egg for the day: If you don't have dinner at the IC before the show simply grab a drink at the bar and sit down or if it's filled to capacity simply go to the other side of the restaurant and you will see another round dining area that isn't being used. You well see some peole watching from this vantage point, these are the 'mamas' of some of the performers. They will smile at you and make you feel at home. As I said buy a drink for 2 because it does cost money to put on a big production like they do.

We just returned from our cruise on the PG, and did a two-night pre-cruise stay at the IC Tahiti. We were fortunate to catch the special "Mini Heiva" they hosted in late July/early August. This event featured winning performers from the larger Heiva, and included everything from strong men lifting 120 kilo stones, to children doing fire dances, to a cheerful group of chanters/singers, to a spectacular dance troupe. It was held on the Grand Motu (instead of next to the restaurant) and featured an open-air buffet. It was pricey, but we felt it was worth every penny. If you happen to be doing a cruise when they're offering the Mini Heiva, don't miss it!
