Rare oskidunker Posted January 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I know they provide them on polar excursions. Not sure if on other cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Avery Posted January 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Crummy compacts. It pays to bring your own. I got a very nice pair of Steiner compact for a bit over $100 on Amazon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBachmann Posted January 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Speaking for Viking Ocean. They provide them on DV cabins and are quite small. They hide them inside the desk vanity. Better than nothing but I recommend you bring better ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haqdeluxe Posted January 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I found them to be very high quality! 😀 I'm kidding of course. They weren't a pair of Swarovski ELs, but they were better than average. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TayanaLorna Posted January 27, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2023 They are more like opera glasses. To really see, find and follow something like a bird, you need better ones. To spy into your neighbors cabin around the veranda petition, they are fine. Just kidding. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CILCIANRQTS Posted January 28, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I find that squinting is more effective. 😵💫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kctwinmommy Posted January 28, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Good to know! We noticed they are included in our cabin, but we didn't think we'd really need them anyway. And now that I've read this, I realize we shouldn't count on them either. LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted January 28, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 28, 2023 IMO....it's just a sales pitch item for a higher category of cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrefan Posted January 28, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Was on Orion in Alaska this past June and my 100 - 400 mm zoom lens on my camera was far better. We were booked in a PV cabin. Not only were the binoculars powerful but they also had fingerprints on all the optical elements which does not help. Bring your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
