I’m not sure where to begin. After leaving my heart in Tahiti with the Paul Gauguin and its crew, I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new PG ship, the Tere Moana. Although so many reviews deemed it the “Terrible Moana”, I was confident that D and I could have a ball on any…

food, food, glorious food.
When travelers hear “cruise ship” they automatically think: buffet. I know I always have. Our ship’s cuisine was so different than your run of the mill cruise food. Yes, PG does have a buffet. No, it’s not one of those stereotypical crusty meatloaf kind of events. So last year, we were pleasantly surprised to find…
i am NOT a crier.
So you can imagine my shock last year when we left the Paul Gauguin and I was sobbing like a toddler who didn’t get candy at the check-out counter. At the time, I attributed this sentimental breakdown as too much Sauvignon Blanc at the farewell lunch. I quietly hid behind my Jackie-O shades blubbering, while…

mañana.
I’m giddy with excitement– seriously, I’m bordering on 6 year old the night before Christmas kind of excitement. My co-workers ask me when I leave and I have to stiffle a shrill of elation. Finally, after planning, and booking, and paying and day-dreaming, our Tahitian vacation is here. Mañana. Tomorrow. If you are unfamiliar with my…
pg refurb= success.
The Paul Gauguin was beautiful even before Pacific Beachcomber decided to do a little makeover to the the ship. Yes, the carpet was a little warn and yes, there were a few tattered table cloths in the dining room, but nothing unsightly. This refurbishment makes me that much more excited to embark on our 10…
