It's fun to enjoy the stars and the moon in the warm Caribbean breezes
TravelerThe moon phase was one of the first things I looked at, and once I knew I would be out in the middle of the Pacific with very little light pollution. We have a new moon on our first day returning back to the mainland. On top of that it rises at 5:52 am and sets with the sun. We will have some real dark nights to see the stars.
TravelerI will watch for that. I would think our November cruise would be another dark -sky cruise. It will be better on the way back, when we leave the moon will be 80% illumination and does not set until 10:32 pm. On the first night back its 28% and sets at 1:59 pm and rises next morning at 2:08 am.

TravelerThey often have a star watching night. It is worth going to if they do.

TravelerThat will be great. We should have some good views.
