this happened while i was on a cruise going from florida to the bahamas and back-in total this cruise took 8 days, and with the phases of the moon, you would definitely be able to see it from the big open decks on the boat-especially with how clear the skies were at the time, and all the stars were visible. edit: this happened late july 2022

however, for the entire 8 days of the cruise(and being out on the deck every night) i never once saw the moon. i remember telling my friends about it, and we walked to the other sides of the ships regularly, looking for the moon. it was NEVER visible, even on the way back to florida. the entire sky was pitch black aside from the few stars.

was my positioning on the planet and in the ocean just specific enough to avoid the moon??? i remember going back to my home state of pennsylvania and the moon being completely normal and visible. i keep trying to find an explanation for this, but considering moon phases change daily, even with it starting at the darkest, i should have been able to see it at least 1 day out of the 8 edit: looking at moon phases in nassau, bahamas, in july 20-28th it says the moon was going from half moon to full moon, further adding to my confusion. it should have been completely visible
