TAHITI, BOARDING THE TAHITIAN PRINCESS – Day Three, Feb. 22, 2005



Our room - if you were in the bathroom, you could look through
the window in the middle of the room to see the outside!

Before packing up and checking out of the hotel, we took advantage of a few activities.  We checked out kayaks and paddled around the over water bungalows.  We also took a swim in the Lagoonarium.

Marketplace - shopping in Papeete, Tahiti



our $15 arrangement



Checking into the Tahitian Princess was a breeze. We were able to grab a bite to eat at the grill before heading back off the ship to the market (Marche Municipal) to buy our fresh flowers for our room - $15 US for a nice arrangement! They also had handmade jewelry and trinkets to buy upstairs in the market and a lot of the places took Visa rather than French Pacific Franc.




Our Cruise Director Frank - he was also our
CD on a later cruise to Alaska!

We met our steward Rodolfo (Rod), who would take care of us for the entire trip.  He always had a smile and was waiting to greet us!  The Tahitian Princess was a smaller cruise ship.  Passenger capacity was 680, and 373 crew.  It meant we got to know a lot of people!
