Nov. 3rd we boarded the motor sailor Panorama II in Tahiti for a 11 day cruise. We motor sailed about 2 hours to near by Moorea Island. The winds were about 10 knots with a beam sea. I was shocked at the poor handling of this vessel. If the Panorama II had a stabilization system it was sure not working. This boat rolled and pitched beyond comfortable. We were told that the next evening we would be motor sailing 18 hours to our next destination. I was concerned as bad weather and higher winds were in the forecast. People in topside staterooms were told the would be moved below were the ships rolling and pitching would not be so valiant. The next morning at 7am we woke up with sore backs due to the 3" thick foam mattress and to find there was no electricity, no lights, no use of toilets and not even any emergency lighting. The lower passageway fire doors were closed and with O visibility. There were no crew to inform passengers and fire doors were not forced open until after 9am when crew informed the passengers that there was a major electrical distribution problem and that parts were a week away. Cruse was cancelled. Then and only then did crew show up below to assist with carrying luggage topside. Passengers were told that Variety Cruises would put us up in a hotel in Pipette for 2 nights at there expense and we would get a full refund. When we got to the hotel we were told that Variety would only pay for one night. I filled a report with the Greek Coast Guard as to how badly the captain and crew performed during the power outage. 3 weeks later we have still not received our refund. The Panorama II is not suited for the Society Islands I do not recommend travelling with Variety Cruises. Check out other passengers reviews on Trip Advisor
