Are you missing things going on around you?
Focus, analysis, thoughtfulness are all key components to improving bridge skills.  But there may be "gorillas" at the bridge table - obstacles that perhaps escaped our focus and just may get in the way of achieving our goals.  We'll look for the gorilla at the bridge table, and turn that gorilla into trick-taking power.

"The Gorilla at The Table"

Escape the heat and join your bridge friends for an Alaska cruise with The Monroes.  This is a casual gathering of bridge friends, lots of bridge playing, and group discussions of hands and bridge.  No structured lessons or program, just enjoy bridge.  We are pleased to help make the booking for you if you like.

CRYSTAL SYMPHONY - New England and Canada
​
We will be hosting the ship's bridge program ​on​ the Crystal Symphony ​for three cruises, September 27-October 4, October 4-14, and October 14-24.  The Symphony has a dedicated bridge lounge and schedules us to present short bridge classes (45 minutes) and a 2-hour duplicate game usually on sea days.  We are generally available throughout the cruise in addition to the scheduled sessions.  Here's a link to the Crystal website so you can get more information.  We would be happy to help with your booking if you like.

​Want more bridge than sea days offered by the ship?  There is a private bridge group onboard during our last cruise, October 14-24, hosted by Roberta and Arnold Salob.  The Salobs offer extensive bridge and event hosting throughout the cruise​.  We have been onboard with the Salobs before, and have thoroughly enjoyed them and can enthusiastically recommend their very professional program.  In order to be included in the Salob​s​' program, you would need to book your cruise directly with Bridge Holidays.​  More info here:​
