yayoye Posted November 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I am sailing on the Summit in 2 days. Some YouTube videos indicate that Celebrity supplies binoculars in the Aqua class cabins. Is that still true? I am considering leaving mine at home if so. Any recent info, i.e. since the start of sailing this year, would be much appreciated.

Even the binoculars in top suites are fairly limited, we always bring our own… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TickledBlue Posted November 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Just off the Summit in Aqua class. Yes binoculars are provided but they are small and kind of useless as others have said. I've tried using them to view something I saw in the water (maybe 500m out) and (1) it was pretty hard to find it through the binoculars, and (2) when I did find it, the magnification wasn't so great that I could determine what it was. Oh, you are going to love sailing on the Summit -- the ship and crew were great. Edited November 11, 2021 by TickledBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted November 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Slightly above what you might find in a Cracker Jack box. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted November 11, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 11, 2021 We had a pair in our Sky Suite in August, totally useless low power and the lens were scratched, we always bring our own. The one on the ship maybe cost $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yayoye Posted November 11, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Thank everyone! Looks like I will bring my own. Looking forward to the Summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 11, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Agree with others. The binoculars in AQ are almost the quality of a children's set. I was please recently in SS and above they have upgrade them to some nice regular size ones. Not great but better than the toy ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted November 11, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Bring your own. The provided binoculars can be replaced by 2 toilet paper cardboard cores held up to your eyes, same magnification!! 🤣 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted November 11, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 11, 2021 We spent two weeks in a SS1 on the revolutionized Millennium in September, and the binoculars were not upgraded. We always take our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - we were in an accessible SS2 on Millennium, just after you and we had a nice pair of Bosch full size binoculars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the PH on Silhouette in September and there were binoculars but not good ones…No big deal from past experience we had taken our own. Could be as binoculars wear out or ‘disappear’ they are replacing them with upgraded ones. That definitely would be a plus. Perhaps this is one of those threads that needs longevity….

Elvis1209 Posted March 1 #14 Share Posted March 1 You are much better off bringing your own. The ones they supply look like a prize from a Cracker Jack's box! Quick story. Way back when you could still smoke on your balcony, I always liked to end my evening with a cigar and I would scan the horizon with my binoculars. That particular evening there was another cruise ship on a course parallel to us. As I stood there, cigar in hand, I scanned the balconies of our "shadow" ship. What did I see? There was another guy, cigar in hand, with binoculars checking out our ship! I tried to wave my arms to get his attention but he never saw me! Anyway, bring your own!
