Two Wheels Only Posted June 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I took a picture of a drone at the same spot from the balcony. It was probably the same guy but not the same week since I didn't see myself in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisetimeforme Posted June 30, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Could have been the sailing we were on 6/11, which brings me back to the start of a great week all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokerpro5 Posted July 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That was a cool video. I agree with triptolemus that the editing sucked, though. Other than that, pretty impressive. I wonder what drone that was. I'm not understanding how the drone was able to pick up the NCL sounds without hearing its own (LOUD) propellers.

The Merrill Posted July 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 1, 2016 There are a few other You Tube drone videos of The Escape. The guy that filmed them was onboard the ship instead of being on the shore. He also posted videos of St Thomas and a few other places. Very interesting to watch to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare tripleboom Posted July 1, 2016 #14 Share Posted July 1, 2016 So funny seeing the conga line going around the pool deck! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Laszlo Posted July 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Video was OK, guy broke a few novice rules like never fly over crowds or people. Actually its an FAA regulation. Would have been really interesting if he would have lost control and it hit someone on the ship or hit the bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering NCL has a ban on any drone being brought on a ship its hard to believe the guy was flying from the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetimeforme Posted July 2, 2016 #18 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Pretty sure I saw the guy and thought WTH is he planning on doing? Didn't really think to say something at the time as it was on the deck, waterfront aft. I did tell them about the service dog pooping and peeing all over the ship, twice! The guy with the dog was horrible! Felt sorry for the poor dog, he had to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merrill Posted July 2, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Here is the other video I found. The guy is clearly on the ESCAPE holding the controller in his hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_od9RQOCzk8 Maybe he managed to smuggle it aboard along with his soda and water? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted July 2, 2016 #20 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Considering NCL has a ban on any drone being brought on a ship its hard to believe the guy was flying from the ship 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBCL Posted July 2, 2016 #21 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Amazing video. Couldn't help but notice that there really is not a lot of deck chairs on the Escape. Beautiful ship nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got in on somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merrill Posted July 2, 2016 #24 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Yes it does. Since we're on deck 15 with the overhang it was interesting to see exactly what that looked like. I wonder if others will start to take drones on the ship? Good way to sneak on those illegal beverages! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been the sailing we were on 6/11, which brings me back to the start of a great week all over again It was shot on June 4th at 19:15 - according to the comments.
