Creator's Key Takeaways

honestly this is probably the best service that we've had on a cruise ship in a long time

we would highly recommend this tour to get a good overview of bora bora

our seven night dreams of tahiti cruise was a round-trip cruise from papayati tahiti

the food quality too also met our expectations most selections were warm and well seasoned

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Make reservations for specialty restaurants on the first day as they fill up quickly
โœ“Book the bora bora by four-wheel drive excursion for a good overview of the island
โœ“Consider a pre-cruise day at the Intercontinental Tahiti to relax in an overwater bungalow

While the Wind Spirit sailing yacht typically cruises in Tahiti, the Windstar Cruises Star Breeze, one of the newly transformed Star Plus Class yachts, is also cruising the region for a limited time this year. Windstar Cruisesโ€™ Star Breeze was the first ship in the fleet to undergo the companyโ€™s Star Plus Initiative. As part of the shipโ€™s update, Star Breeze was lengthened and received a number of new suites, venues, and improvements. This newly updated cruise ship is offering select Tahiti cruises before repositioning to Alaska for Summer 2022. So, for this Windstar Cruises review, we hopped aboard the Star Breeze for its Dreams of Tahiti itinerary. -----WINDSTAR CRUISES TAHITI ITINERARY------ This Windstar Cruises Tahiti cruise itinerary was a 7-day round trip sailing from Papeete, Tahiti. The itinerary visited several ports of call in the Society Islands with no official sea days. It included stops in Moorea, Raiatea, Taha'a, Bora Bora, and Huahine. The Windstar Cruises Dreams of Tahiti cruise also hosted a number of signature events. These events included a beach day at a private motu while in Taha'a, a Destinations Discovery event with Tahitian dancing and food while in Bora Bora, and the cruise line's signature Deck BBQ featuring a roasted pig and several other upscale menu items. -----DINING ON WINDSTAR CRUISES STAR BREEZE------ All dining on Windstar Cruises is included in the cruise fare. This includes the main dining room, specialty restaurants, and a few casual dining options. Amphora is the cruise shipโ€™s main dining room which is open for dinner only. Windstar Cruises has open seating, so you do not need to make reservations. Like other cruise lines, the three course dining room menu does change nightly. The cruise shipโ€™s buffet, Veranda, is open for breakfast and lunch. Further, the cruise shipโ€™s cafรฉ is located in the Deck 8 Yacht Club. Windstar Cruises Star Breeze REVIEW discuss the three alternative dining options. Unfortunately though, the outdoor BBQ venue, the Star Grill, was not open on this cruise due to limited capacity and COVID protocols. The other two alternative restaurants, Cuadro 44 and Candles, were open for dinner. Cuadro 44 is a Spanish tapas restaurant, while Candles is the line's signature steakhouse. Both venues require reservations. ----- WINDSTAR CRUISES STAR BREEZE REVIEW------ One benefit of small ship cruising is the personal level of service onboard. It didnโ€™t take long for staff members from different departments to recognize us. From the staff in the restaurants and bars, to our stateroom attendant, to the destinations team, and even the officers, this is probably the best service that we have had on a cruise ship in a while. -----STATEROOM ON WINDSTAR CRUISES STAR BREEZE------ All cabins on Windstar Cruises are suites. We stayed in one of the newly added cabins on deck 6. This Star Balcony Suite was 277 square feet and included a French balcony. It also featured a separate seating area, walk-in closet, and upgraded bathroom. This all suite ship gives cruisers the space and extra comforts more akin to a hotel room rather than a cruise ship. -----READ OUR WINDSTAR CRUISES TAHITI REVIEW ON THE BLOG------ https://eatsleepcruise.com/windstar-cruises-tahiti-review/ ------TRENDING VIDEOS FROM EAT SLEEP CRUISE------ Wonder of the Seas Cruise Review: https://youtu.be/payf3Z94_d4 Top Alaska Cruise Tips for 2022: https://youtu.be/HdTQ4a_BzVo Our Picks for Best Alaska Cruises in 2022: https://youtu.be/3JW_NdEuD50 Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel to get the latest cruise tips, cruise reviews, packing guides, port guides, travel tips, and more.
