This week we're chatting with Jennifer, a destination specialist with Touring Plans, all about her recent South Pacific sailing on Windstar cruises around Tahiti. We always love hearing about experiences aboard other cruise lines, and Windstar has a unique luxury-level small ship offering that sits between true ocean cruising and more rustic expedition adventures. Of course, Windstar is very different from Disney Cruise Line, so we couldn't help doing a little compare and contrast of Windstar vs. DCL.  All that and so much more on this week's exciting trip to the South Pacific!
