You will soon discover one of my favorite reasons for taking cruises. Your
TV is probably less then 100 feet across. You only have such a limited view
of things, and they always look very small. Everything in real life that
looks beautiful looks so much more incredible. The water is bluer and
clearer then you can imangine on TV, to the point you may start refering to
it as a color. Same with Glaciers in Alaska, mosques in Istanbul, the Grand
Canyon (for those who don't get on a ship) etc. TV, video tape, pictures
you take can't do it justice. There will come a point where you will just
stop taking pictures, as they won't have any matter anymore.

Thanks so much for all the responses on my Disney Cruise questions, I
appreciate it! I'm so excited now!! This group sure seems to love
cruises. Anyway, thanks a lot for all your info. Oh, I forgot to ask one
thing (if I may) is the water at the Bahamas as beautiful as the
pictures on tv? I see pictures of beautiful clear, see to the bottom,
water. Can it be true? Is there realy water like I see on tv?

The clarity and color of the water depends where you are, what the
bottom of the water is made from, and on how rough the water is.

The best water I've seen is in the US and British Virgin Islands. It's
the most surreal color of pale lime green. Totally crystal clear. Take
the ferry from St. Thomas to St. John and you won't believe the water
color.

Water in the Bahamas can be nearly as good, in quiet areas. Where there
is large surf, it typically will be cloudy, since the bottom is being
churned up. And it will be even worse if the bottom is sand. If the
bottom is mostly coral and rocks, there isn't as much silt to cloud up
the water. In quiet areas, the water will be gorgeous.

Cayman also has great water. We snorkeled in water that was 35-50 ft.
deep, and could clearly see the bottom (we saw a large conch shell).

I have a dig photo of Trunk Bay in St. John. Let me know if you'd like
a copy.

I have a photo I took in St. Thomas as a 14 year old many many years ago
with a silly little pocket camera.. On a blue day I look at the picture
still, close my eyes and try to 'be their' in my mind for a few
minutes...ahhhhh.....
