Hi:

They may, but I am going to bring a couple pair,  just in case. 

 

I really like the itinerary on this cruise.

I would bring my own.  Get them from a trusted source.

I still think that the most entertaining view is projecting using a colander onto an object.  Find videos on youtube.  You DO NOT look through the colander.

No. Here's the path of totality over land on April 8th 2024. On the ship we'll see approximately four minutes of totality.

The arrow points to where the organization "Sky and Telescope" will have their private viewing area.  I think that is called the Sun Deck and is a large open area on the Zaandam.  This cruise is already heavily booked.  Most booking sites show just ocean views and insides available.
