I once went on a cruise to the Caribbean which has some crystal clear waters, but once I got back into the Gulf Area and docked Galveston I threw up in my mouth a little. Nasty water lol. You probably wont go as west as Texas, but its pretty ugly everywhere, what with the circulating waters and the Mississippi dumping into it. I recommend hitting florida and cruisin the Atlantic coast.
