2020 Regent Pink Hibiscus Blue Mountain Cruise Feb. 8-Mar 4 (Tahiti to Australia)
We booked this 18-night cruise October 31, 2017 with Bonnie Buchanan at Cruise One. Regent is an all-inclusive luxury cruise line. The cost of the cruise concierge room #861 was $46,140 including first class air round trip, 2 nights pre cruise in the Intercontinental Hotel in Papeete Tahiti and three nights post cruise in the Four Seasons hotel Sydney, all excursions, liquor, transfers, internet, and specialty restaurants while on board.
We began the trip on February 8 at the Airport Hilton in STL. We checked in about 3:00 and went to the bar for wine. We had dinner at the hotel…which was mediocre at best.
On Sunday, we caught the shuttle to the airport at 5 am, checked in and waited in the Admirals Club until time to board. The flight left on time. We arrived LAX and checked into the Air Tahiti Nui Business Class Lounge and waited for our 4:15 flight on Air Tahiti Nui. We boarded the Boeing 787 and had champagne to celebrate our journey. We were served dinner and then they turned out the lights. The flight was good. (The last time we flew to Tahiti in 1999 the flight was horribly bumpy, and many folks got sick.) We arrived in Papeete and Regent had a shuttle waiting to take us to the Intercontinental Resort. We got room 169 with a beautiful view of the ocean and Moorea. We got to bed about midnight.
