InternetAgeTraveler Posted August 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2010 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. Coral Princess Webcam: very good quality webcam after June 5th with high reliability and larger size (the best ones to watch if you are just curious) Notes: Alternating North/Southbound Vancouver to Whittier docking at Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan as well as doing Glacier Bay and either College Fjord or Yakutat Bay. Diamond Princess Webcam: good quality and reliable Notes: Alternating North/Southbound Vancouver to Whittier docking at Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan as well as doing Glacier Bay and either College Fjord or Yakutat Bay. Golden Princess Webcam: below average quality – best watched when specifically interested in these cruises Notes: Round Trip out of Seattle alternating between Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm and Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Victoria Island Princess Webcam: below average quality – best watched when specifically interested in these cruises Notes: Alternating North/Southbound Vancouver to Whittier docking at Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan as well as doing Glacier Bay and either College Fjord or Yakutat Bay. 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. Sapphire Princess Webcam: average quality and reliable Notes: Seattle round trip route with Ketchikan, Tracy Arm, Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria. Sea Princess Webcam: high quality and reliable Notes: San Francisco round trip alternating between Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm) plus a variety of ports with the Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Victoria and sometime Icy Strait Point or Haines. There are noticeably choppy seas from and to San Francisco. Since it’s a 10 day cruise, plays a bit longer than the others. Other general captures Skagway Notes: month at a time views of the harbor, weather, and ships in port. Play at 2 hours per second. Mendenhall Glacier Notes: month at a time views of the glacier and lake from the visitor center. May and June are at 2 hours per second, July and later at 3 hours per second. Glacier Bay Notes: A compilation from a number of cruise ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriPhil Posted August 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2010 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.
