joshd33 Posted March 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Seen all the posts here about strangest pics and the neighbor threads, but I'm curious to know what some of the strangest stuff you have seen randomly while looking off the ship while at sea? -Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INTERLINER13 Posted March 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have not seen anything strange that I can think of right now. Just some flying fish that leap out of the waves that come off the hull of the ship. And a dolphin leaving Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted March 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The strangest thing I have seen, was actually not a thing in the sea, but the sea itself. It was on my Sensation cruise, back in 2000. We well out into the Gulf of Mexico, and the sea was as flat as glass! Not a wave or a ripple. I have never seen this at sea, before of since. It was in the afternoon, but by evening, there were waves again.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdinkus1 Posted March 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2012 A 'school' or 'brood' of jellyfish! At least a couple thousand of them. It was beautiful to look at (it was at dusk and they were the clear jellyfish so the setting sun shone right thru them), but I wouldn't have wanted to be out there among them! Fantastic view in the sea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvcruisetime Posted March 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We went on a whale watching tour from Long Beach in 2000, we never saw any whales, but we ended up surrounded by thousands of dolphins. They were spinners, and there were hundreds of pods, as far as we could see, jumping and playing and swimming along with our boat. They were everywhere, I have never imagined anything like it.

GuitarPlayer Posted March 21, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Setting: Two couples standing on the front "deck" of the ship under the bridge, late at night(pitch dark), still several hours away from Galveston...looking at the different lights from other ships. At one point, one of us looks up toward the bridge, but really looking past the bridge at a bright light and says, "Why do they have that dumb light turned on so brightly? They should turn that thing down." The rest of us look up, and begin to search for the offending "light" only to realize it was really the moon, in all its full glory, and it just happened to be at the right angle to make it look like it was attached to the ship! Priceless. GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightOnRon Posted March 21, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2012 DOes in the sky count? We were buzzed by a Russian fighter jet while in the Gulf of Finland two days after Russia invaded Georgia and that fracus was going on. Not even 50 yards away from our ship,,so close I could see the markings on the plane (that's how I knew it was Russian). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaii6o Posted March 21, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I saw an Octupus off of Maui while snorkeling. Dont think I will ever get the chance to see another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ykgorbie Posted March 21, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This past October, while looking over the railing on our first ever Aft WRAP:D, I saw a large brilliant blue-colored fish fly high out of the water. Being from the Arctic, I recognized that it wasn't a polar bear:). Actually, didn't really have a clue what it was. When we returned from the cruise, I did some research and figure it must have been a sailfish. It was magnificent to see ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottohiocpa Posted March 22, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 22, 2012 While snorkeling in Punta Gorda (Castaway Cay - Disneys private island), I saw a pole that was moving. As I got closer, I found that the pole was surronded by hundreds of fish about 18 inches each, all with their tails toward the pole and their heads pointing out away from it. It was really weird. Also, they have sunken one of the Nautilus submarines from 20,000 leagues under the sea ride from WDW. That was one of my favorite rides when I was a kid.

UFQ202 Posted March 22, 2012 #20 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Home made boat with 7 cubans in it. They had attached an inner tube to the back that they used as the bathroom. They were surrounded by Dolphin Fish of all colors. We sat there with them in their boat until the Coast Guard could get there and take over. They were so close to the US. They had been without food of water for 2 days when we found them. It was a life lesson for my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDSue Posted March 22, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 22, 2012 We were departing Cozumel one year as it was getting dark. I was sitting on the balcony and there was a beautiful "flock" of about a dozen white birds (looked like doves) flying alongside the ship. They swooped in and out in formation for hours on end. I was getting worried because we were headed out to sea on a two day journey back to Galveston and I wasn't sure what would become of the birds-if they could make it back to shore or not. I watched them all night until I finally went to bed and they flew along the entire time. The next morning they were gone. It was just so strange and beautiful at the same time. They weren't following behind for food, just flying in and out alongside. Never seen anything like that before or since, but it made my night. I always wondered if they headed back to Mexico or hitchhiked a ride to the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
