travellover3 Posted July 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2010 May I have some opinions regarding the usefulness of binoculars on a Baltics curise. No doubt to have them in Alaska or Panama Canal, but is there a lot one would like to see up close in the Baltics. If I wouldn't miss anything really spectacular, I'd prefer not to have the extra item. Thanks, Phyllis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantfan13 Posted July 1, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2010 To be honest, I really do not think you would need them. Anything you might want to see up close, you should be able to walk to, up close. Save the space for something else. Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EOS-User Posted July 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2010 We have a small pair I take along .... you just never know when they may come in handy Yep; us too... A travel-pair is ideal. Compact & lightweight. I always have them hung round my neck when 'at-sea'... You never know what might pop its head up! Eiher that, or a nice D-SLR with a BIG lens :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelite Posted July 6, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I always take a small pair when ever I'm out and about. I would not want to be on any cruise without them. Years ago I invested in a very small pair of Ziess that fit in a pocket. That was money well spent for all the use I've gotten from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelebrationGuy Posted July 9, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have a very nice pair of binoculars I always carry with me on any vacation. Got some great close up views of the wind turbines along the coast. I would pack them especially if you have a balcony stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainhouse Posted July 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I used a set a few months ago in the Mexican Riviera. Just always handy for looking at things from the ship. Wouldn't go without 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bardstowntraveller Posted July 12, 2010 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2010 A small set was included in our stateroom on the Celebrity Eclipse (Aqua Class). We used them when sailing through the archepeligos outside of Stockholm and when passing the White Cliffs of Dover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
