cruisinjules Posted March 19, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Great pics! I am planning on taking this exact cruise next July as a grad gift to my son, son's friend, and to his parents(me & hubby) who will have survived highschool with him! How were the ports? Was yours a 5 day cruise? Do you have a review yet? Any info would great. Pics are excellent, looks like you had a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KansasScrapper Posted March 19, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2006 jbsvette being from "Tornado Alley" I never thought of a Tornado at sea. We are going on the Elation out of Miami in May. How did you like the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel girl23 Posted March 19, 2006 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2006 We were sitting on the Lido Deck of the Conquest on that exact same day and time looking at that exact same cloud when DH pointed out the funnel. :eek: We watched it for a time and I tried to get a picture but it did not turn out at all. Your pics look exactly like it. Great pictures. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click for full size imageWaterspouts are simply tornadoes over water. But though they have a similar structure to some tornadoes, they form much differently. Waterspouts are common in tropical areas where thundershowers occur frequenty, such as around the Florida Keys. But waterspouts also can spin up beneath puffy cumulus clouds without lightning or thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
