The Coral Princess is the first cruise ship to visit Melbourne in almost 3 years. It arrived at Station Pier last Thursday and departed 5pm today, Saturday 17th September 2022. More cruise ships are due from now on. I posted this video straight away as it may interest some people.
It was windy and wet today but it cleared up just as the ship was about to depart. I live close by and arrived just in time to capture these shots.
It is great to see cruise ships returning to Australian cities. The last time I filmed a cruise ship in Melbourne was early 2020 (please see my old YouTube videos).
I hope you like this video and thanks for watching, Brett - Gizmo Drones
Drone comment (despite music title): I used a DJI Mini3 Pro and it handled the wind very well although I noticed some slight jello in the footage and occasionally the horizon wasn't level due to wind. I hope DJI can fix these issues. I also used a Freewell ND/PL filter.
