What have you seen from your balcony?

[Eriksgarden]

We've seen Dolphins playing in the water, Sea Turtles, waves, flying fish, every shade of blue imaginable, sunrises, sunsets, islands, ships, birds, clouds, sun...Yeah, we love balconies!

[JulieRose]

Naked people!:eek: Seriously! We had an aft balcony on Brilliance in Jan. 2015 and we were docked in Cozumel next to the Liberty. We were having a glass of wine, watching people coming back to the ship when we noticed a guy on the Liberty just walk out onto his balcony completely naked to talk to his wife. He looked over our way, then jumped back into the cabin and pulled the curtain around himself. :D

A few minutes later there was another couple who never closed their curtains as they dressed for dinner. With cabin lights on, we could see right into their cabin! The man was doing all kinds of body building poses in front of the mirror!! We were not trying to be "creepy peepers" but it was all out there! Remember to pull those curtains when in port!!

 

LOL, you see those in Promenade staterooms too! On 70's night, we were woken up by the loud music. Apparently we weren't the only ones. We raced to our window and (unfortunately) so did the naked cruisers in the cabin across the promenade from us. They didn't think to turn their lights off or grab a towel before opening their curtains... :eek:

[Kermit426]

Wow, loving these responses. :D Definitely going to pack binoculars. Hoping to see things like ships, wildlife, and pier runners.

You know I won't be able to walk through the promenade on 70's night now without looking up, yikes! ;)

Not sure if you want this....but here it goes...in March...still tied at the dock " Miami Underwater Repair " was parked on the dock...the divers had to replace an internal / external valve...scuba suits...guys would take turns diving...come up take off their wet suits...and I swear on a stack of bibles...start doing pushups...we had our own Chippendale Show....they were directly above us. This went on for HOURS !!!

WE were,originally scheduled to leave at 4...1145 PM we leave.

 

This was the same sailing that a person jumped overboard. SO...from our cabin watching the Canadian and the US ships search for the gentleman. Unfortunately he was not found.

 

So...WE had an interesting cruise on Liberty

** small correction. .yhe Chippendale guys were directly BELOW us....jeeeze

We were on the same cruise. It was very interesting watching the divers.

Watching the motorcycles unload & load at each port was fun (15 bikes, 3 trikes). Only cost them an additional $700 to bring, probably worth it

The RUN OF THE DRUNKS is always entertaining !

[dlong1969]

Running of the drunks, for sure...

A submarine off the coast of Miami

Flying fish - lots of them.

Yeah, nekkid people on their balcony...

dolphins

F16 fighter jets

 

got lots of pictures, but they are at home, and alas, I am not.

During sail away from Pt. Canaveral we saw a wedding on the beach. During sail away from Seattle I stopped counting after spotting over 100 sailboats. Pilot boat retrieving pilot. Watching the Captain flip the ship around and back into the dock perfectly. Ships have no brakes!! It is amazing how perfect the docking manoeuvres are!

[breeze123]

Dolphins (they never get old)

Volcano

[yj_eugene]

The fishing fleet at Cabo San Lucas all heading out together early one morning, and a school of dolphins right behind them looking for an easy meal :)

[desamparaditos]

I saw this once. Once was enough.

[John&LaLa]

[Tiggertastic]

We had a family of 3 whales sailing from Tortola to New York. Amazing to see

[BonnieSte]

I have seen lots of flying fish even a whale once but this is what I saw on my last cruise.

[Kermit426]

Wow! Amazed at how many people forget they aren't at home and go out on the balcony in "limited attire" :eek:

[Tiggertastic]

Obviously not as you chose to take a picture so you could look at it again.

The best answer I've seen in related threads was seen by a transatlantic cruiser.

 

"A lone chicken sitting on a floating wooden pallet in the middle of Atlantic."

A stolen boat abandoned at sea.

Not my video, but we saw this same thing from our balcony the morning we were docked in Cabo. (Mariner of the Seas, Mexican Riviera cruise.)
