Cyndi!
Welcome to PIP! We are still fence sitting on which hotel we will reserve for three days pre-cruise in Papeete. Le Meridian has some places to walk to for alternative dining as well as includes AMEX Platnium upgrades and breakfast daily and one lunch. The Beachcomber is less expensive for the OWB. Decisions are not easy!
Editing to add that after I posted this, I booked an OWB at Le Meridian.
