Full HD video of what you see from a cruise ship as you sail in to the port of San Juan, Puerto Rico. While recording the first segment, which lasts 52 seconds, I noticed that I had forgot to attach the external microphone to the camera. So, for the first 52 seconds of the video, recorded with the camera's built-in mic, the audio is crappy with a lot of wind noise. After the :52 mark, I've got the good external mic (with windscreen) attached... and the audio is a lot better. You get a pretty good view of the walls of El Morro castle during that first 52 second segment. After that, you get a close-up view of the buildings of Old San Juan that line the harbor. At about the 2:30 mark, I point the camera up a bit so that you can see the beautiful sunrise. This makes it hard to see the buildings, so I tilt the camera back down to the city after about a 30 second look at the sunrise. I love the crashing waves at the 3:45 mark. U.S. Coast Guard ships (Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territory) are visible starting at 4:00. Note the CVS pharmacy visible in the first floor of the building at 6:15... this is an extremely convenient place to pick up a few supplies when you are on a cruise ship. The cruise ship terminal comes in to view at 6:23 I shot this video using a Canon EOS 70D, from the balcony of the Carnival Glory cruise ship.
