The ship and destinations are wonderful. I took the Renaissance Tahiti cruise in April 2000 and really enjoyed it. I have written a number of reviews on the cruise and the islands. If you're looking for more information, please check out my account profile and read my other reviews. When cruising, the cruise package generally includes the cabin, meals, and use of some of the ship's facilities.
Many services are extra.
My companion and I had a wonderful time on a 10-day cruise on the R4 in July, 2001. We are in our early 50's and love to swim and snorkel, and I like to scuba dive. We just loved this trip. Here are our observations that can save you money and hassle, and make a wonderful cruise even better. If you fly Hawaiian Air as part of your package, you will want to get to LAX early to get a better seat assignment.
