Hey Ladies!!! I am now going to Tahiti!!!! I won the trip that includes Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea... I am trying to add a couple of nights extra to stay longer! The trip doesn't include insurance, and I was wondering if it is really important???? And how much it is? My TA is going to get back to me, but I figured I would ask you guys first..
Thanks!!!
I figured I would update all of you!!!! Instead of just adding 2 days to our HoneyMoon, We added 4 !!!!
So Now we'll be in the InterContinental on All 3 islands:
3 Nights in Tahiti
4 Nights in Moorea
3 Nights in Bora Bora
We would have loved to do more, but those extra four days alone was almost adding up to our original HoneyMoon, so we stopped at the 4 days, which we are so excited about!!!!!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
I just saw someone post on the knot about flight time changes coming home from tahiti to JFK. I checked mine and it's still 9:05pm, but the girl who posted had a return date of 7/6 and hers was changed to 10pm. Minor change...

You're welcome 
Not sure about room #'s at Bora Bora Nui. You could post a question on the trip advisor message boards or use this board to do a search or post your question:

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
Thanks ladies! There is SO much info here, its so helpful. I'm waiting on a price quote so we'll see :O)
Also, do you recommend more nights in Bora Bora over Moorea?
Right now this is what I am waiting to hear about:
1 night Tahiti - OWB Intercontinental
4 nights Moorea - OWB Intercontinental
4 nights Bora Bora - OWB Intercontinental Spa
1 night Tahiti - OWB Intercontinental
Should I work out a different itinerary? I am not even sure of flights and whatnot yet.

Other people might disagree but I would not "waste" your money on the OWB in Papeete for the first night. You will most likley land pretty late and probably will leave for Moorea pretty early. I say waste because nothing is ever really a waste when you are on your honeymoon in FP but you will npot be able to spend enough time to appreciate it.
Other than that, looks great! You will not regret it!!!!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
I agree w/ luckybride... also in moorea if you want to try a different room category (and save a little $$) the beach bungalows at the IC moorea are supposed to be great!

Very true too! If you look at my pictures (On page 7 of this thread there is a link to them), you will see some of the beach bungalows at the IC in Moorea. We did the OWB there but only because we stayed 1 night at the Sheraton in Papeete (I think it was a standard room but not sure what they actually call it) then stayed 3 nights in Moorea, then took a 10 night cruise. We couldn't go to FP without staying in a OWB!

I totally agree!!!
I would just stay in a garden view room or something very standard at IC Tahiti for your first night.
I would also stay in a cheaper room in Moorea as they say the lagoon is much more beautiful in Bora Bora. Then I would add on a night in Bora Bora and take away that last night in Tahiti. That's what I would do. If you really want time in Tahiti I'd almost rather add it on in the beginning...so do 2 nights Tahiti rather than 1 in the beginning and 1 in the end....less moving around and packing/unpacking! But the IC Thalasso Bora Bora looks so amazing - if you can do it I'd do 5 nights there and only do 1 in Tahiti!!! Good luck!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
ok, i have a question not sure if it was mentioned. but, what are you doing about phone calls when you are there? did you all buy some sort of international calling card? I dont think it is worth it to make my cell phone international ready for just 2 weeks? What do you girls think or what are you doing??

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
I bought a calling card when I got there for a newsstand. The only problem was that the hotel would charge if you call the toll-free number on the card from the hotel room, so I had to use pay phones in the hotel lobbies or on the street. It wasn't so bad. There were a lot more pay phones there because cell phones don't seem to be as common as they are here.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
We found an internet cafe in Papeete that we e-mailed from when we were on land. On the cruise, we bought some wireless internet time and used our laptop. Some advice if you do this, draft your e-mail before you log on, you use half the time just looging on and the time really goes fast!
We never called. In an emergency, our families knew how to reach us. Hey, you are on your honeymoon, no one should really expect you to be calling!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
Good point - maybe I won't call home either!
I will possibly email once to say we are there safely...or get a calling card like some of you mentioned. No big deal though - I wouldn't even think of using my cell...the rates would be insane!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
Hi girls!! This may be a silly question, but have any of you thought about the type of bathing suits to bring. I typically wear pretty skimpy bikinis, but I was wondering if you heard that tankinis or one-pieces are better for the snorkeling, excursions, etc.
(can you tell I am scoping out the Victoria Secrets swimwear...hehe)
TIA!!
