How far can you see from cruise ship?

If you are standing at sea level the horizon is approximately 3 miles. At 100 feet high (a higher deck) the horizon is about 12 miles. But since lightening is in the sky well above sea level you can actually see lightening at a very long distance with even 100 miles being possible.

Whether you choose an oceanview or balcony cabin should come down to two primary considerations: price and itinerary. Can you afford the extra money you'll pay for a balcony? Or, even if you can afford it, would you prefer to spend that extra money on some other cruise experience (drinks, shore excursions, the spa)?

All rooms and locations available to guests are located well above sea level. If you do book a room on a lower deck, it doesn't mean you are at the bottom of the ship below water level. It's just the lowest deck available to guests. Directly under guests last deck is the crew cabins, etc.
