Thanks, Bill! I really appreciate that. I just finished editing the third and final video in this series... so, be sure to check back next Saturday when it goes public.
Years ago I visited the Owl’s Head Teanspirtation Museum. What a great museum. That night I had dinner wirh my great-uncle and found out that he had been friends with Orville Wright !
I enjoyed visiting Rockland for the first time ( 3 days ) last fall. If Bar Harbor gets shut out for cruise ships, I think it would be a decent substitute for the ships around 2000 passengers.
Thankfully, they've got Starlink Internet now... so, it works fairly well. The first few ACL cruises I did... they had a different Internet provider and it was horrible. But it is much better now with Starlink. Another factor you might not have considered... ACL cruises are different than cruises you may have done on big cruise ships to international destinations. Those ships go way out in the ocean where there are no cell towers. ACL ships are almost always along the coastline or on rivers and therefore you are almost always within reach of a cell tower. So, if you run in to any trouble with the ship's Internet, your phone may very well have a perfectly good 5G connection. And if you want to use your laptop, you could just set up a hotspot on your phone. But for the most part, you'll just use the ship's Starlink Internet... and it will work just fine.
I’ve booked this cruise for the summer, so this was a beautiful preview. The photography is excellent. Watching is a real treat!
Fabulous video. Fantastic scenery, epic drone views, charming and engaging narration.
Great drone work !
Thanks Jim for your efforts on making great videos over the years.

You are a master drone operator - thank you for your always-excellent videos and commentary. I’ll be on Down East Maine in 2025 and can’t wait!

How is the wi-fi on America Cruise Lines? Is it good enough to work on it? Thanks for your great videos.
