Has anyone cruised around Tahiti in the month of March?

If you did how was the weather did you get a lot of rain.

Our group of six just returned from a 12-day cruise of French Polynesia on the Marina last week. We had a few rain showers and one day of about 3 hours of rain while we were on Raiatea . Other than that the weather was absolutely perfect. If you're lucky enough to have the weather that we had in March make sure you bring lots of sunscreen.

They say the later (like March) and beyond less rain, more heat.

We did March. No rain, but unbearably hot. The best time there is when the ships do not go, like October.
