Observing from a BIG boat

Hi guys,

Has anyone had the oportunity to do some observing from a cruise ship? We are travelling from Sydney to New Zealand later in February and I was thinking of taking my binoculars with me (11x70s) to hopefully get in a bit of stargazing from one of the decks. Will the lights on the ship make the whole exercise a waste of time? Or can I expect to get reasonably dark skies half way across?

I'd like to take my 8 inch with me, but my wife to be may not think it appropriate!

Let you know when I get back what the skies were like...
