Creator's Key Takeaways

I am taking a ponant cruise through parts of Micronesia again.

I love Ponant. They're small ships and can get into places that the bigger ships cannot.

This will be my first flight on American Airlines in over 30 years.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Allow extra days for travel connections to avoid missing a cruise.

https://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Gasp! I am flying different airlines today to Fiji for a Ponant cruise which ends in Guam. Spoiler Alert: Didn't put much thinking into "been there, done it" only 7 months ago on Silversea and shouldn't have "done it." Nothing wrong with Ponant, just the destinations.
