jpcello Posted May 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Leaving Sunday for 7-day Bahamas cruise from NY on Oasis. Just read that Sunday night there's a total lunar eclipse: The visible part of the eclipse will begin around 10:30 p.m. ET on May 15, NASA says, when the moon enters Earth's shadow. Totality, when the moon is fully covered by our planet's shadow, follows around midnight, lasting about an hour and a half. It will end around 2 a.m. ET. We're in a grand suite, so we'll have access to Deck 17 suite sun deck - should be perfect viewing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aunursa Posted May 10, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2022 April 8, 2024 will see a total solar eclipse starting in Mexico and going through the eastern United States into Canada. Mazatlan will have 4 minutes of total darkness, yet I haven't found one cruise ship that is scheduled to take advantage of this phenomenon.
