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).
