When friends would ask if I missed the navy? I would always reply being on the 00:00 to 04:00 watch. Standing out on the bridge wings or at aft lookout running with only navigation lights on. There is not a star you can't see. After 20 mins your rods in yours eyes adjust and you can see almost as well as daylight. You can even see the milkyway nebula that our galaxy is named after.
I would like to take my wife on a cruise to see it. I don't think it would be the same as passenger ships are lit up like the Las Vegas strip, and you can't see many stars there.
