If you are on a cruise and you haven’t experienced stargazing, are you really on the cruise? A cruise in the middle of the ocean is one of the best vantage points for stargazing and you must experience it at least once in your cruise vacation. Spot a place which is close to the front of the ship and have less lightening as compared to the other parts of the cruise. The closer you are to the front, the better it would be as you are less likely to experience smoke and disturbance coming out of the stacks which may obstruct your view. You can always start with the observation decks. If the winds are low paced, your cruise may also allow you to enter into their helipad area for a better view. So, you can always ask them about this and they are more likely to say a yes. Afterall, you have paid them.

 

4. Enjoy the food and drinks
