Q. Do I have to book through a specific travel agency? A. Yes. The exclusive groups personally conducted by Audrey Grant and the Better Bridge Team are only available through the sponsoring travel agent listed under the booking information in the right-hand column of the Cruise Calendar. These are private groups. The onboard programs that are not part of a personally conducted group are available to all passengers taking the cruise. However, the travel agencies suggested by Bridge at Sea offer excellent rates for all cruises. Q. What is the bridge schedule for the private cruises? A. There is a two-hour bridge seminar once a day, including port days. The material shares the most current tips for bidding, play, and defense. There are also sanctioned duplicate games each day, and two sanctioned games on most days. For more information on the daily schedule for your cruise, select Schedule on the Cruise Calendar. You can participate in these events as it suits your schedule. Q. Do I need a partner? A. No. The Better Bridge Team will get a fourth for bridge. You can feel comfortable coming to the games and lessons without a partner. Many of our guests take advantage of this service! Q. Are the games sanctioned? A. Yes. The duplicate games are sanctioned by ACBL. The masterpoint awards are somewhat lower than those for awarded at a regular club game because the games are shorter (two hours) and run in a more relaxed atmosphere.
