But you said you could hear music from a bar on deck 2 while dining at the steakhouse on deck 10? 🤷♂️ I'd assume you can hear the buffet traffic and music playing from the opening down to deck 9 below, but I am curious if its enough to detract from the dining experience at the steakhouse? Thanks! Confirming that the music travelling up to the steakhouse from deck 2 atrium bar did indeed ruin the whole ambiance of the speciality restaurant. We tried the steakhouse on Luminosa last month and were extremely disappointed by the noise from atrium. Definitely not dinner music, but loud raucous music you could not even have a conversation over. There are tables situated a little further from the railing overlooking the void to the atrium so I suggest you try requesting one of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EngIceDave Posted April 22, 2023 Author #288 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Morning from Moorea, French Polynesia. This is a tender port. We have no plans today, just wandering. Good day to do it, don't have to fight for tender space to meet anyone. Chill and let everyone else go, then we'll head over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EngIceDave Posted April 22, 2023 Author #290 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Casino is open while in Moorea.... and in other news......They're moving the machines, spacing the banks out for more room. (Americans must be wider than Aussies) I noticed a few days ago, tape on ground looking like machine repositioning. I was right.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EngIceDave Posted April 22, 2023 Author #291 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Learning with Dave One is a moped, other is a scooter. Both are not scooters. Do not call a scooter a moped 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EngIceDave Posted April 22, 2023 Author #292 Share Posted April 22, 2023 No tour today. Rode tender in, looked about and came back, maybe two hours? Beautiful place, but no where to wander to from the port location. Only couple small grocers we checked out. Read the labels on many of them, especially the canned goods. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
