There were always people sunning on the pool deck during the day. There are also the little events and parties, the enrichment lectures, the galley and bridge tours, classes in pareo-tying, dancing, lei-making.

Oh, and I found a reference to Pareo Night in one of the Ia Oranas. But it's a deck party, after dinner, in the evening.

I have no trouble just being on the ship some of the time, relaxing, reading, enjoying the scenery. Then there's always afternoon tea, which was very pleasant.

And then if you don't want to go on a formal excursion, in Bora Bora and Raiatea, you can just tender in and walk around town and shop--there's a nice little gallery selling polynesian art in Vaitape (BB), and lots of tourist shops. Not much to see at the dock in Moorea, however.
