Tahiti on the Paul Gauguin
Gee, Shawn, you make me want to go right away! ;-)
--Jean "shawnabbtt" wrote in message oups.com... Man, how do we get RID of these hotheads who lay in wait just to jump down someone's throat! It sure defeats the purpose of someone asking LEGITIMATE questions, and gets instead a spewing of venom from those guys. I've not done the Gauguin, but did do the Tahitian Princess a couple of years ago. I had also been on that SAME ship on a previous trip to Tahiti when it was a Renaissance ship! They didn't even change the bedspreads...ha! The motu picnic whereby you are seated at tables in a lagoon was awesome. Another motu experience was when they cooked breadfruit and tapioca over an open fire, and made pouisson cru (sp?) from freshly caught tuna. Served it all on freshly shucked banana leaves. Snorkeling is NOT to be missed. And a general tour around Tahiti itself was surprisingly fun. Make sure you look for the boxes that look like mail boxes on the side of the road in front of the residences...they are literally bread boxes...fresh loaves delivered! Go see how vanilla is grown and buy some powdered vanilla to sprinkle in your vanilla ice cream back home, and go see what copal is...go to a pearl farm and see how these beauties are made. And do go to the market in Tahiti as it is remarkable...go at the beginning to pick up inexpensive tropical flower arrangement for your room ($10-20) and at the end for last minute shopping. Get some baroque black pearls there; you will treasure them always...Tahiti had the most competitive and largest assortment right on the street in front of the ship. The second time i took my mom and sis and it was wonderful to see their delight grow each day..."tahiti..wow!"...then "wait til you see Moorea"...then "wait til you see Bora Bora! the 15 min. helicopter ride is awesome if expensive. you will have wonderful photos that look like postcards! I also tend to look for 7 day cruises for personal, family reasons; i prefer not to be gone longer. I sure want to get back there soon! shawn |

You advise others to ignore something you've never read! That was exactly Jean O'Boyle said. You have adequately described and indicted your Fascist attitude in a non-Fascist society in a public forum intended for open discussion. -- Bob. |

I merely asked the question of comparison of the two ships, (which a couple of posters later did), when Ray jumped in Ray As usual our anonymous blowhard is all wet. What else is new? Ray Have you noticed that the blowhard trolls are always anonymous? :+) fired his first shot and kept on firing the rest of his post, without offereing any comparison except bragging that he had 26 hzppy customers (the ones he SPAMMED for) on the Gauguin. It sure defeats the purpose of someone asking LEGITIMATE questions, and gets instead a spewing of venom from those guys. That certainly fingered Ray. I was asking the LEGIT question of comparison, and he went into his ****ing mode for no cause. He never would have existed had this group not tolerate any SPAMMER who is violating usenet guidelines. Ray would not have survived in any other group for his kind spamming except in rec.travel.cruises. -- Bob. |
