Gino is so excited to visit the Bahamas on his first-ever cruise. As they depart from Florida and head to the islands, the water gets really rough. The captain explains it is because they are passing through WHICH ocean current?

The correct response is Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current originating in the Gulf of Mexico that flows up the East Coast of the United States and into the Atlantic Ocean, and it can cause rough waters when a cruise ship passes through it.
