Recordist's notes

The main lobby of a liner, the pursers office, the tour office, double staircase two decks high, ceiling four decks high, grand, smart and the social meeting place on the ship. The casino, shops without price tags and the ship's bell are present. You are greeted here when you board the ship and directed to the lifts just along the main concourse. Sometimes a string quartet, pianist or harpist plays. A jumble sale is held on the concourse every week and is packed. MixPre 3 with 2 x Beyer Lavaliers.
