Heidigale:
Hi....We just got back from the 10 day yesterday!
We are a bit wiped out from the return trip...ATN is very crowded and the airport in Tahiti is slow slow slow! Took a long time to go thru security but that was the only negative on a fantastic trip.
We loved the Waverunners in BB (and we are over 60 but "active"!!). It was great ... it even poured rain for a bit but still a real experience.
Others on board loved the snorkle with the rays...it was good.
On Moorea: We really enjoyed the "lagoon tour and snorkle"....great guide and boat....got to see different bays and we stopped right where Pooles excursion was and saw loads of dolphins. Then to a great place and swam with rays...far more than on BB....black tips too! (They really didn't bother you...kept their distance...as did we!!). Then they took us to a good snokeling place by the old club Med. If I had to do it again, I would also have rented a car one day and looked around the island and then stopped at the Sheraton Beach (they allow cruisers there). I would highly recommend the excursion too.
Re; restaurants....we booked LV online ahead of time but had no problem getting additional bookings while on board. Food was wonderful in the L'Etoile also.
The crew was incredible...everyone went out of their way to be helpful! Once on board, Lani in the excursion desk is a terrific resource and so helpful.
Enjoy your time...it was a memorable experience for us and our friends who traveled with us.
The only negative was the travel to and from!!
Regent should have their own charter and make it less painful!!
Take care....and if you talk to Lani tell her Carol says hi and misses her!!
