Binoculars in state rooms?

On MS Paul Gauguin 7-day Society Islands:

Do the state rooms have binoculars? If not, should we bring some? Or is there no real need in the Society Islands?

Maybe in the suites, but not in the regular cabins. We didn't feel we were missing anything by not having them.

I've never taken them, although I've been tempted. But I've really never missed them--would be fun occasionally but that's all.

They are supplied in the grand suite and I did use them to peer at boats anchored nearby

None in mine on deck 7. I have some astronomy binoculars (long barrel/high power) that I brought. The dark nights make for amazing views of the night skies!

We always carry small, decent-quality "travel" binoculars (7 x 26) on cruises, including the South Pacific. We would not think of packing without including them. Besides the spectacular scenery, there are seabirds and (in the right places) dolphins and whales. For anyone interested in landbirds, the native landbirds in FP have been seriously depleted through human intervention, but some species are still present -- mainly in the island interiors.

We usually take ours so we can see around the ports before we go ashore.
