Lots of flying fish!! I watch out for them every single cruise and I love it. I actually saw a shark once and that was super cool. I saw a turtle in Belize and refugees once that we rescued during the deck party.

Flying fish, Dolphins, Stingray, a huge jelly fish (when still docked at Galveston) and a capsized boat off of Haiti on fire with 4 people in the Ocean. That was on the Glory and we participated in the rescue, but just about the time we got close enough to launch the rescue vessel, the USCG helicopter showed up and brought them all up in a basket.

So far I've seen flying fish and dolphins from the ship, and I am hoping to see whales during our Alaskan cruise next year.

 

I've seen other sea life and various animals when out on excursions - my favorite of which was the monk seal (an endangered species) who was peacefully taking a nap on the beach in Hawaii.

Dolphins, flying fish, turtles, and a hammerhead shark. Also, on our Mexican Riviera cruise in 2009, the morning we woke up in Cabo, we went out to our balcony and there were lots rays jumping up out of the water and splashing down -- like a belly flop. It was the coolest thing; wish I'd taken video. Also on the same cruise we saw whales early in the morning on our last sea day on our way back to LA. That was a bonus -- it was July and we never expected to see them.
