Ocean View - 1 Full Hour HD - Cruise Ship Balcony

Ever wonder what it's like to have an ocean view balcony on a cruise ship? This entire video is unedited (with NO ADS), and complete with all the random surprising sounds you may hear from a balcony view (it's not always perfect ocean sounds). There was a light shower that occurred not but 20 minutes before this video, so that's why you may hear some water dripping.
I wanted to record this so I could have a long HD version of the ocean going by to play on the TV at home. I used my iPhone 5s and just put it on the ledge above the balcony door, anchored to the light bubble so it wouldn't budge and stay steady.. though if you pay attention, you can see the ship slightly rocking.
If you need permission to use this video somewhere, just ask. I usually just ask for credit in the video. If you plan to upload any part of this video to the internet, please let me know where and what you'll be doing differently (other than just a full copy). Just email me: truewalk at gmail dot com (that's an email address).

I just came back from a cruise. This is exactly what I needed. One night on the cruise I actually fell asleep on the balcony chair and didn't wake up until the sun started coming out. It was so peaceful.

[@amandaborchardt748]

I have done that too. Woke up and I was in Jamaica. Beautiful scenery to wake up to!

[@freebie65]

I could just sit there all day and admire the ocean. I've always loved the sea and hope to move into a house witha sea view one day

Just had 10 days on Navigator of the seas Canaries cruise, returned 16/6/16. Love this video. We had a balcony on deck 12 at the front-ish of the ship. This was our second cruise, I didn't want to come home... Could watch this all night ! Thanks !

[@erikandre]

Thanks!

[@ekreiszahl]

This is absurdly amazing. You made our party! We had this as a video installation while pretending to be on a cruiseship! Thank you for not editing and uploading!

[@medtechfire22]

After being stuck inside the last few weeks this is great. The wife and I went on our cruise for our honeymoon and were planning on taking our little one on a Disney cruise this year. Doesn't seem like that is happening so being stuck inside on a rainy day this was needed.

[@kparcparc4230]

Just what I was looking and hoping for! FANTASTIC! What I love most about cruising.

[@yolandawoo9049]

I love this. Reminds me of the hours I spent aboard my balcony just looking and listening to the sea. It was the first time I ever saw the sea without land on the horizon.

[@anyviolet]

my gosh this is so amazing. Have taken a couple of cruises and this by far is my favorite part. Good memories -- Really appreciate your posting this.

[@gratefultube]

This is what cruising is all about. Many thanks.

It is relaxing.

[@brendanlaumeyer3084]

Thank you so much for this I haven’t been on cruise for years. And all I’ve wanted to do is relax on my deck in the sun and listen to something like this.

[@bertluvu]

This is so beautiful and relaxing and calming. I'm so excited about planing my first cruise, Lord's Will, and I plan to sleep on the balcony and listen to the sound of the ocean. This just made my night, I'm so excited I can't wait. 😍😍😍😍😍🚢🚢🚢🌅🌅🌅🌊🌊🌊🌊

Thank you for serving, my Father (God Rest) served in the Navy too, Cuban Missile Crisis, USS Enterprise, he was the fire crew, as you can imagine he had a LOT of stories to tell. I think he may have caught the beginning of Nam as well, he died when I was 8, he was given the military honors, I still have the folded American Flag they gave us.

Awesome thanks for video! We have 2 months to wait till we cruise again and its agonizing waiting. This helps a lot to curb that anxiety lol. Also it would come in handy when we come back feeling all blue about our holiday ending.

[@idea1407]

This is awesome. It's absolute proof that the world is round. If the world was flat, the sky would never meet the ocean in a horizon. You would see land instead. But you don't. If you travel straight, you will eventually run into land.

One more item. If anyone is wondering, this is from the starboard side of the ship. Love it. NO ADS during the video!

I turn this one on almost every other night and just watch it while eating (with KZbin open in another tab with very soft restaurant sounds, like an outdoor buffet is being served) and I LOVE it. Even with the shout of "NO!" at 19:01 and a random baby-fit at 56:01. :D Does KZbin still have a way to make a video play over again once it concludes? I would love if it this looped endlessly when I am working at home.

Great submarine race

[@maulanwong3841]

Honestly i can't tell if its better to sail across the ocean or fly across the ocean well flying is slightly safer than sailing and is a lot more faster but when youre on a ship you can relax and do a whole bunch of things plus ships can carry alot more weight than planes can also ships are alot more bigger than planes but cons of sailing are sometimes you'll encounter heavy seas and also ships are alot slower than planes also some other cons to sailing are ships have alot of life jackets and tiny boats

[@universalchiro]

My OCD kept looking for the loop, as if it was a 2 minute recording repeated thirty times. As I got distracted and worked on other projects with the sound of the waves allowing me to concentrate, I heard evidence that this was not a repeated loop of a short recording. Go to 56:00 and listen for the evidence.

[@universalchiro]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@erikandre]

You’re giving me way more credit than I deserve. I simply wedged my iPhone to record above the balcony lamp and took a nap. 64 min later I took it down. When I got home I cropped the beginning and end where I was wedging it and taking It down and uploaded it.

[@FakeClouds]

nice and flat!

[@MrSloppyjoe74]

This is fantastic! How far did the ship sail in that time? Thank you so much. May I share?

[@erikandre]

The ship was going ~19.5 knots at the time, so that would be ~22.5 miles.
