ocean sounds Posted February 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi: They may, but I am going to bring a couple pair, just in case. I really like the itinerary on this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring my own. Get them from a trusted source.https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safetyhttps://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ship we'll see approximately four minutes of totality. https://eclipse.aas.org/eclipse-america-2024 Edited February 3, 2023 by Cruising Is Bliss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted February 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Someone on the roll call may be better able to answer this specific question: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
