Our first expedition ship ~~~ 2 questions

[wingit]

We will be embarking the Venture in a week or so.  I’m curious about a couple of things.  Are binoculars provided or should we bring our own?  Also, our cruise has, I think, about 12 sea days;  can I expect that there will be a duplicate bridge director on board?  
Thanks for any information.

Binoculars will be in your suite.

I had them on Pursuit last week.

Not sure about bridge.

We didn't but no need on our trip.

No card room on Venture and no organized bridge games. You will have to look for a social, pickup game.

Thanks very much for the speedy responses to my 2 questions!

Just came back from the Venture and there was almost daily an "unhosted" bridge meeting at the expedition lounge on deck 4. No idea how popular it was.
