treasurer Posted January 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2020 We are going to Anarctica in a few days and wonder if binocuoars are provided in the staterooms on Pursuit. We have been on a few ships that provide them but haven't been on Pursuit before. We have a pair to bring that are great quality, but old and heavy. We just thought of this so don't have time to shop for new smaller bioculars. Does anyone remember binoculars on Pursuit? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted January 1, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) No they are not provided, nor is a clock in your room (in case that impacts on your packing) Edited January 1, 2020 by uktog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treasurer Posted January 1, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Thanks a lot. Guess we'll bring the old heavy ones -- may have to leave some shoes home. (haha ) We have a great light weight clock/white noise machine that projects the time in soft red print on the ceiing. Found it on Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted January 1, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Even if they were provided, the Azamara binoculars are pretty poor. You’re definitely better with your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted January 1, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Absolutely bring your own. I believe the quality Azamara ones are still available if you ask a Guest Relations, but they are terrible. I took a pair of Canon Image Stabilising ones with me and was glad I did. Heavy, but so worth it. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren’t very good anyway If you're planning to use them from the ship (or on the move in any way), you want stabilized binoculars. I was amazed when I upgraded from a highly rated compact set to the [admittedly large and heavy] Fujinon Techno-Stabi. It took me from 'oh, there's a bird' to 'oh, that's Molly – see the scar on her beak?' [full disclosure: made up example. I know nothing about birding. But if I did, it would be true.] 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldsc Posted December 19, 2021 #10 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Although this is way too late for the OP, consider that any decent set of binoculars will cost at least $100 or much more. One can't imagine cruise companies supplying binoculars at that price level in their rooms. DON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
