NCL Pearl - Transatlantic Impressions

[sellie]

Hi guys,

I finally finished the video about the Atlantic crossing of the Norwegian Pearl and I have uploaded two versions to our webserver.

There is a poor quality version for people with low Internet bandwidth and a better quality version for people with high speed Internet access.

The duration of the video is about 1 hour and 45 minutes and it is mostly about the "Mad Mariners" and their special events.

 

It has been the first time I used a video camera on my vacation, so please don't expect too much. Sometimes the video is very wiggly and the panning is to hasty but I was an absolute beginner and I will try harder next time.:D

Even so I'd like to share some impressions of that very special cruise with you:

Sellie---What a wonderful video. Thank you for posting to the internet for all of us. Now I truly know what excited is!!!

For a "beginner" you did a professional job.:)

Cool - I am still at the triva contest - your video of the sailaway lasted longer then I stayed there. I am loving the video.

 

Thanks

Thank you for posting this, you did a great job! It was nice to re-live my first transatlantic crossing and see some of the Mad Mariner events we missed out on.

Moved to the boneyard but I just finished watching every minute. It was wonderful to see the Pearl again and especially all the Mad Mariners. One criuse none of use will ever forget.

The server is still overloaded.

 

If you can't get a connection or the video is not very smooth please try it again later. Sorry!

 

I'm think about offering a download option to watch it offline or on TV:confused:

Can someone tell me why it's sometimes possible to edit the previous post and sometimes not? I just want to correct a typing error ... :D

Thank you!! We loved the video! :D Watched every minute of it, and almost felt like we were there with you! We will be aboard soon, so this just made us more anxious to sail!:eek:

A great reminder of a fabulous cruise, well done and thank you.

BTW the server was pretty overloaded the last days and sometimes it was not possible to get a connection or if you got a connection the video was rebuffering all the time. The reason is that there are too many connections at the same time.

Some folks ask me how they can download the video to watch it offline or on TV. I'm still working on that option.
