Time lapse video of the Coral Princess Alaska July 31st (plus over a 100 more)

[InternetAgeTraveler]

This summer I have been compiling time lapse videos of Alaska cruises. So far, I have compiled over 110 videos. Last week, I made an extended edition of the Coral Princess. Click

or on the July 31st entry in the list below,

 

Part of my ‘project” is to collect information about the weather, time in ports, smooth versus rough sailing that can be used by others to compare the different itineraries so I appreciate any comments on the videos about that (this is not a cruise review, just reference material). Feel free to post comments to any you were on.

 

The list of Princess cruises is below, and the full list can be found by clicking here or on the time lapse link in my signature.

Royal Princess

Webcam : average quality and reliable

Notes: A 14 day roundtrip from Seattle visiting Glacier Bay, Tracy Arm, Seward, Kodiak, Icy Strait Point plus Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Victoria. As 14 day cruises, these run longer than others but do show places the others don’t go to.

Sea Princess

Webcam: high quality and reliable

There are noticeably choppy seas from and to San Francisco. Since it’s a 10 day cruise, plays a bit longer than the others.

Wonderful weather! great compilation - makes me eager to book another Alaska cruise! (also should help people who keep asking whether to book port or starboard - really shows that you have great scenery on both sides of the ship.
