BlueSkySailing Posted April 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I went out to video the ships today. I thought I would share it. BTW- I kept my distance and never flow of any of the ships. I hope you enjoy. https://vimeo.com/163199647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex techie Posted April 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thank you for posting that amazing aerial footage! My old home away from home! God I HATE that ducktail so much! Thank you again! And it's great you were respectful and responsible to the ship's and maintained your distance! Not all drone operators are so much :( http://www.wsj.com/articles/london-police-say-airliner-at-heathrow-may-have-hit-a-drone-1460921037?mod=e2fb (Skip to 4:57 for those only interested in seeing the Magic, but there are cool shot of of the Freedom of the Sea's before that) ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Steelers0854 Posted April 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm no drone expert but I would be careful operating them near ports. I think many are considered restricted areas and require either prior approval or are off limits all together (especially those close to airports). But maybe you did your due diligence before flying and if all legal it's a great video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decks 1-4 should have been extended to continue the curve created by the verindas from decks 5 thru 10. Wow, I never realized what the duck tail did to stern line. Has anyone found a good side profile picture with the duck tail that I can try Photoshopping? Maybe if we get a good picture out there, DCL would create a better profile to the duck tail for if the Wonder gets one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't post them as pictures as they are hi-resolution and will be massive, but here are the links: Before: http://www.wesh.com/image/view/-/15826430/highRes/2/-/xhgeba/-/Magic-jpg.jpg After: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZxiGuFoweVI/maxresdefault.jpg I'm interested to see what you come up with! ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisconsinFan Posted April 19, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The drone footage is really cool. I also wondered about how close they should be able to get to the ship. Take a look at this footage out of Port Everglades of the Independence of the Seas. Maybe there was permission granted by the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkySailing Posted April 19, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted April 19, 2016 So glad you all enjoyed it. With this being next to a Air Force station. And I like the wider shots of the ships. I wouldn't get that close. A little unsafe for me. One of my favorite parts of cruising is leaving your home port. Waving goodbye, enjoying the view. If you have a drone flying so close the ship. It takes that away from those people. But their are some really cool footage of these doing some really cool things :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Mick Posted April 21, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 21, 2016 That gives me goosebumps. There's few things that I enjoy more than departing from port and I envy every person on those ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
