Special viewing areas truly make the crossing an unforgettable experience on the high seas. Fort Lauderdale and Grand Bahama Island coastlines can be seen from 4 stories high while departing and entering port. Floor to ceiling windows on the side of the ship are great for big ocean views. As well, the forward lounge provides vistas from three sides of the ship. From the stern (rear) of the ship you can watch the water jets of THE CAT shoot out a tail over 20 feet high and 50 feet long. It's great for taking pictures while you get a true sense of the power and speed of the ship. Sea birds and mammals are common sites, so bring your camera or binoculars.
