Sentence help

I want to say that I just came back from a cruise and saw some amazing views/scenery.

Are the below sentences correct:
1.I just came back from an amazing cruise.
2. We saw some fabulous views/scenery while at the cruise.
3. We saw some fabulous views/scenery from the ship.

Please tell me if the above sentences are correct? Also, I would appreciate it if you provide a better sentence that basically emphasizes that I experiences some amazing views from the ship we were on.

Thanks.

Thank you. What about the use of scenery vs view.

Is the scenery the actual things I am looking at, while view is what I am looking at, which is the scenery?

Can the word view actually mean scenery?

"Scenery" - "the general appearance of a place; the aggregate of features that give character to a landscape"

"View" - "range of sight or vision", "a sight or prospect of a landscape, the sea, etc.", "a conception of a thing; opinion; theory"

The scenery is beautiful here.
The view is beautiful here.

California has some beautiful scenery.
California has some beautiful views.

'Views' in plural seems wrong to me in your examples.

Why is the plural wrong? I thought if I used the word 'some', I would have to use the plural form, just as 'I saw some beautiful picture(s) at the museum. Please advice?

Also, what is the difference in meaning between the two sentences for each example, specifically the between the words scenery and views?

It sounds odd, that is all—as if natives didn't use it much. Views are generally brief perspectives; I don't associate the word with admiring the scenery unless I am looking at something from some special angle, for instance.

So, it is correct to say we saw some beautiful pictures, but saying views is grammatically correct yet sounds odd in my examples. Right?

So, view is actually the angle from which you are looking at the scenery. They are different word meanings. correct?

Lastly, which of the two words is the right choice for my examples:

California has some beautiful scenery/view.
