ToeKnees Posted August 17, 2015 #26 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Sure! We were in 2 of the new rooms they added during the refurbish. 3005 and 3007. Though, if you're a light sleeper and go to bed early, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it because it's directly below the Schooner bar. Some nights, you could hear people stomping their feet above you. Fantastic ! I was hoping you were going to say that, we have booked 3011 and haven't been able to see any photos etc of the new rooms. No worries about the noise we will be the people up in the schooner bar making it !!! lol You wouldn't happen to have any more photos of videos of the room and bathroom etc ?? (Pushing my luck now !!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley61 Posted August 17, 2015 #28 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hammerbees, have you joined our roll call? Apologies if you have, I just didn't recognise your username. We spent the evening watching Explorer videos the other night in advance of our cruise and found this video too. I'll simply repeat what everyone else has said. Fab video! I hope there are some families like yours on our trip - you all look like lots of fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtcolin Posted August 17, 2015 #30 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Fabulous video! Can you tell me if they updated the gym equipment, I did not see it in the video. Thx Thank you! I guess I forgot to film the gym and spa, although we frequented the gym almost daily, and my wife went to the spa a couple of times. From what I can remember, the free weights seemed fairly old. Some of the numbers on the weights had been rubbed off, so you couldn't tell how heavy they were. Some of the machines looked fairly new, i don't remember the padding on them looking worn. Others, such as cable machines, seemed like they may have been around for a little while, but they still worked just fine! Hope that helps!

vtcolin Posted August 17, 2015 #31 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wow, great video. I ended up watching it twice! What's wrong with me? That's awesome! :D That was a wonderful video! It was better than many professional clips I've seen about the ships. Thank you, rudeney! A professional looking product is what I'm going for! Now if I could only keep from shaking the camera so much... :rolleyes: Fantastic ! I was hoping you were going to say that, we have booked 3011 and haven't been able to see any photos etc of the new rooms. No worries about the noise we will be the people up in the schooner bar making it !!! lol You wouldn't happen to have any more photos of videos of the room and bathroom etc ?? (Pushing my luck now !!!) Well, then I guess you have nothing to worry about! :) It's a great location; except if you're trying to make your way to the dining room lol. I'll see if I have any photos of the room on my computer somewhere... What a wonderful video of your beautiful family....your kids are so lucky to travel young....gives them the bug!....thank you for joining so we could thank you"in person".... Thank you so much for the nice comment! Yes, they're very lucky, and they don't even know it!

Rare rudeney Posted August 17, 2015 #32 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thank you, rudeney! A professional looking product is what I'm going for! Now if I could only keep from shaking the camera so much... :rolleyes: In preparation for our cruise in just 2 months now, I've been watching a lot of videos from the ships. I've seen a few that looked like some sort of post-production tool was used to completely smooth out the video. One video was a very fast walkthrough of a ship, here it is: You'll notice the swaying black bars on the sides of the video. I am assuming this is the artifact from the stabilization algorithm. I'd love to know what this is as I am really bad with shaking when filming free-hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know what this is as I am really bad with shaking when filming free-hand. I believe you're right! I suppose they decided to keep the normal resolution and size when they added the stabilization option. I stabilized a few of my clips, however, to avoid the black bars swaying on the side, the image has to be zoomed in and some quality is sacrificed. It helps if your camera has a built in anti-shake/stabilization option. Unfortunately, the GoPro does not have that! Almost all high end video editing software offers some kind of stabilization. Previously I've used Sony Vegas Pro, but recently just made the switch to FCPX on Mac. This was my first video using FCPX :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted August 17, 2015 #34 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I may try to shoot some on my Galaxy Note Edge - it has 4K UDH resolution, so if I have to zoom to get stabilization, it won't bee so bad. I've used software stabilization, too, but that video was the best I've ever seen. I may PM the photographer and inquire as to what was used.

Rare rudeney Posted August 18, 2015 #36 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Opps! Sorry about my crappy typing. That should have been be "4K UHD" but yes, it's 3840x2160 Ultra HD resolution. I have a 64GB card, which I believe will hold about an hour of video, then I can transfer to my PC. I've been experimenting with it and it's pretty good video, but taking it with a cell phone results in a lot of shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra HD makes much more sense. I knew what you meant, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sendt fra min GT-I9295 med Tapatalk Hmmm... I know my video is blocked in just 1 country according to youtube, and that is Germany because of the license from one of the songs in the video. But, you're in Denmark? Is your internet provider going through Germany (or Deutshcland?). Do you have any software that will allow you to change your IP address to make it look like you are in another country? Or you can try https://www.unblock-us.com to change your country.
