  1. yes


  2. Yes, on a moonlit night, the bio-luminenence is gorgeous.

    During the daytime, another neat thing to watch for are the flying fish.  When you are on deck, they look like large dragonflies skimming across the water.

    You may be lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins swimming next to the ship.

  3. Do you mean bio-luminescence?  It's caused by certain algae and phytoplankton and can be seen when agitated, such as in the prop-wash of a ship and should be able to be seen from the deck of a cruise ship.

    As a side note if you're lucky enough to stumble across a sea turtle that has come to shore to lay her eggs (at night of new moon's or heavy cloud cover, when there isn't much light) she'll have the bio-luminescent algae growing on her.  Don't s***w with her too much but if you stroke her shell it'll glow!
