bbryan5 Posted July 3, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 3, 2016 So much for having a "private balcony" with some clown videoing people.. pretty disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfin55 Posted July 3, 2016 #27 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Interesting that NCL changes a policy concerning "bringing bottled water on board" and citing security concerns however allows the UAS to take off \ land on her ships?!? The Escape is still in Florida water so I am interested in knowing if NCL can be held liable for violating the state's “Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act.” http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0900-0999/0934/Sections/0934.50.html It's always amusing to me when some thinks they know the law. Simply because they googled somethings and then regurgitate it as if they are all knowing. It's like having a symptom of an illness, looking it up on webMD AND CONVINCE THEMSELVES THAT THEY HAVE THAT ILLNESS. Bottom line, taking things out of context without the background to quantify, always makes me laugh. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMESCC Posted July 3, 2016 #28 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Awesome video, the way these ships just glide through the water seemingly effortlessly is just beautiful. The other thing is while its an awesome video, its scary anyone can do that. Technology is moving faster than ever.

Sent from my iPad using Forums I love a punk who hides behind a keyboard "judging".... if you read my post you would have seen I said "I'd be interested in knowing"..... not quoting as if I knew...... I live in a state that passed very strict drone laws, prior to Christmas, so it was fresh on my mind and peaked my interest when I saw this video. It ironically was the same day NCL stated security concerns when banning water bottles. I was on GSC in March when a member of the ship's officer staff approached a gentleman who was flying a drone and told him to ground it.... so I know NCL frowns upon them.

Chuck2810 Posted July 3, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 3, 2016 It appears to be either a Phantom 3 Advanced, Phantom 3 Pro, or Phantom 4. The audio was recorded on a pax's person, while the drone returned to the port. Makes me think a friend piloted from the port for the Bon Voyage. That would be a little more discrete, although DHS takes this very seriously. So then upon return the audio was mixed with the footage. My guess.

roger001 Posted July 3, 2016 #31 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Was the drone not operated from shore and by what appears to be, from his comments, Miami Drone Flights who operates a subscription site for all of his videos? This isn't just some hobby type. Miami Drone Flights has many other ships filmed also if you want to look at them.

Aquahound Posted July 3, 2016 #32 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ref legality...recreational drones are legal in Florida and Miami, except over major public events like sports or festivals. This also does not fall under Florida's surveillance act because the persons on the ship do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. This video is legal.

The day smart phones got cameras and video (and You Tube), expectations of privacy was long gone. Every photo or video all of us take on a cruise will invariably have someone else in the background.... And then we post them...do we not? If you're not inside your house, don't plan on privacy. It's the high tech age in which we live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted July 3, 2016 #35 Share Posted July 3, 2016 From the YouTube comments: Q "cool. did they care you brought that onboard?" A "Haha, first couple of days security didn't catch it then after 2 ports they figured out it was a drone but they gave it back at each port so you can use it." I wonder if they could do that with my case of Coke.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Disney Chandler Posted July 4, 2016 #36 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Put case of water on the dock. Sneak drone on to ship. Pick up case of water with powerful drone. Deliver case to balcony. Seriously, the video gives a good view of balconies (standard and angle) and the overhang issues that bother some. I've heard prisons are starting to have this problem with drugs being dropped in yards during the night.

VideoTech Posted July 4, 2016 #37 Share Posted July 4, 2016 He had the Ultimate Drone Package. Drone usage was free with his booking but he had to pay $755 in gratuities because the normal drone charge is $599/day. :D *LMAO* Too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
