longton Posted June 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2014 My sister and elderly mother are taking the Sojourn from Barcelona to Cape Town.The ship leaves in mid-November and the cruise is 32 nights. Whilst on board, they would like to try their hand at painting and learn bridge. Does anyone know if there are classes for art and bridge? Many thanks for your replies.

Columbia Cruisers Posted June 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I know there are beginning bridge classes, but I have never seen art classes offered, although I suspect they might be popular. I hope they enjoy their cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isklaar Posted June 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The only time I've seen art classes offered they were actually arts & crafts classes and during the world cruise only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted June 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2014 As you say, Seabourn has long offered art classes on its world cruises. In fact, some art classes' projects were included as displays at the themed evening parties relating to the ship's locations. I hope that there will be art classes on that voyage too and that they continue for the remainder of this "voyage of discovery". This is how Seabourn markets it and it really is an alternative name at more or less the same time of year substitute for the annual world cruise. Happy sailing!

ibnoland Posted June 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I bet Seabourn will have both beginning and intermediate bridge classes in the mornings, followed by duplicate play in the afternoon. But "beginning bridge" is further along than starting from absolute zero. IMO they would enjoy it more if they had already taken some lessons at home. There's probably a local bridge club which offers lessons for beginners. Then, they would be able to play in the afternoon sessions without feeling out of place.

tv24 Posted July 1, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2014 While recently on the World Cruise, my DH attended the art classes taught by the brilliant Julie Conn. This was one of the best activities of the cruise. Julie patiently taught technique to the group and provided expert support for each person's creativity. My DH continues to paint since returning home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longton Posted July 3, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Mum and sister know how to play whist so they should be able to handle bridge - at least at beginner's level. They are quick learners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
