We did the Paul Gauguin several years ago. We had a large suite, one of the nicest we've had on any ship. But we kept comparing other aspects of the voyage to SD, and it failed in every respect but the cabin. We decided that should we ever desire to return to that area, we would stay in an overwater bungalow in Moorea or Bora Bora rather than cruise.

We met a couple on Seadream 10-12 years ago whom we never see except when we hook up on another cruise. Although Seadream is our mutual favorite, we had a great time on Windstar in the South Pacific.  It was one of the small ships and we had a blast. We are doing Seadream in the Black Sea this summer (fingers crossed) and Auckland/New Zealand to Australia/Great Barrier Reef next February on Windstar. (Seadream for the ship, Windstar for the itinerary.)

I do agree that the lack of new and interesting itineraries on SD is an issue. Both of your future voyages sound wonderful, of course assuming that the current Black Sea issues go away.
