15-20 meters...oh my....why bother unless it's a spectacular coral reef.

We went down about 100 meters, so it was interesting in that respect to see what lives in darkness.

 

And with the water temperature and the pressure!  It is a testimony to living creatures being able to adapt to their environment.

There were binoculars in our suite in Greenland, a nice 8X Swarovski (with the note that if we wanted the "convenience" of taking those, rather than buying a pair from the shop, the retail would be added to our account).

 

We also received beanies, which were different from those we had received in Antarctica.  As they say, YBMV - your beanies may vary!

 

 

 

 

 

Do the Swarovski binoculars that are 8x have a number listed after the 8x?

Yes!

 

However, we believe you are asking if we remember what the field of vision of the in-suite binoculars was.  To that, we have to say "no". 

 

We used our OBC to buy a pair of 8X25 Swarovskis; the in-suite had a wider field of view, and cost $1000 more.

I meant to mention something that was new to us on Seabourn _ a complimentary shore excursion at each port. Today was in Puerto Bolivar, Ecuador - located in the heart of an area that produces 3 million tons of bananas a year.

@SailorJack. I have followed other voyages of yours, and with this one I somehow feel like I’m reading the expurgated version.  Do you perchance have the real version hidden somewhere else?  EM

Thanks for asking, but I am not doing a review of this cruise - just making a few comments as we sail along.
