Af- ter stops in Moorea and Bora Bora, the ship headed east to Pitcairn Island, home of the de- scendents of some of the Mutineers on the Bounty, who came on- board the ship to sell souvenirs. The Royal Princess made it to Easter Is- land, and the passen- gers were ready to go ashore in small boats, but unfortunately, the ship’s captain didn’t believe it was safe, so they headed east to Peru. It had been a week since they were on land in Bora Bora, and it was to be fi ve more days before they would get to the shores of Peru. The cruise lasted four weeks – April 6 through May 2.
