jthayek Posted May 13 #1 Share Posted May 13 My wife and I are planning a 10 year anniversary trip, and I would love to hear the opinions of experienced cruisers to the area. Have you cruised on Windstar's Star Breeze or the Paul Gauguin? What did you like/ dislike about each? Have you done both? Even better! Tell me about it. How was the food? How was the atmosphere? Did it feel stuffy or fun and casual? One of the most important things to us is having quick and easy access to play in the water. Did you use the sports platform to kayak/ swim/ SUP? Was the sports platform open a lot? Was it fun and easy to use? Thanks for sharing your opinion and experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend looking through the post for the last 4 - 6 months. Remember the SB has only been stationed full time in FP since February 😉 I've been on the PG 16 times ... last year I was on her twice. Taking the SB in a few weeks for fact finding as the ship is relatively new to FP compared to the PG. Both are wonderful small ships ... the only way to really experience FP ... small ships 😉 Edited May 13 by Tahitianbigkahuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahitianbigkahuna Posted Saturday at 06:07 PM #4 Share Posted Saturday at 06:07 PM (edited) We've just returned from the Star Breeze .... this was a fact finding cruise to check out the ship for my 'groupies'. I'll post pictures now and then and give a bit of general info. Please don't ask, wait for the info I post over the coming weeks and months. Taken as we were leaving PPT There was a aircraft carrier from Japan docked next to us in PPT. The tug along side as we back out of the berth. Taken as we backed out of our PPT berth. People lines the railings to take in the evening views. The SB has 2 jacuzzies and a small pool, good amount of shade ... there was never a shortage of lounge chairs to enjoy.

Tahitianbigkahuna Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM #8 Share Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM Leaving the lagoon of Tahaa on the Star Breeze .... You can Bora Bora 15 miles away and if you look closely you can see the steeple on the little church on the right. This view is awesome no mater which small ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
