I will be spending the first couple of weeks of September crossing from Bermuda to the Mediterranean aboard Queen Elizabeth. I have a bunch of questions: Can I expect clear skies? Is there a dark place on deck for astronomy? Will I be able to point to objects in the sky with my green laser? (briefly) I am assuming days at sea are long sleeve days, true? If one doesn't drink alcohol, is it possible to complete the passage without extra charges?

I do Astronomy Public Outreach from my observatory in BC. The beam from a green laser is visible and ends at the "target" for anyone standing in the vicinity. It is much more efficient than pointing with a finger in the dark and trying to describe the star pattern around the "target".
