ABOARD WITH JORD: everything you need to know about a cruise ship dry dock

[@heathermcconochie2572]

Really enjoyed this one! Your channel is a very unique pairing of ship:cruise knowledge and figure skating! It’s such a cool combo. Love learning about both subjects.

[@jbauth]

I appreciate this so much Heather :))

[@ds4172]

Hey can you do a Q&A video with the accounting and managerial staff on board?

[@traveler320ak7]

Thanks so much for explaining dry dock and what you are doing on the ship during this time. I like that they have separated the contractors and are keeping them away from the crew. You have all worked hard to keep yourselves in that protective bubble. Enjoy your dry dock and the return trip to America.

[@jbauth]

yes it was very smart to keep us separated! thanks for the message :)

[@lindatannock]

Yay! Made it in time! Lol. Hope you're well 💖💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Ps. I think crew should get free WiFi all the time! Seems insane to me to charge crew away from home for nearly a year for their WiFi. Costs them nothing at the end of the day 🤷🏼‍♀️💖

[@peterd8817]

The internet is via satellite and is expensive totally different from land base connection just saying.

[@wellardsmith3629]

Very interesting. Thanks.

[@nanabananafodor4870]

Thanks for the info. We have cruised for 20 years, and have never gotten info like yours on dry dock. Good that you are still being paid. Although the cost of flying everyone home and then flying them back again, plus risk of covid.... makes sense.

[@donnaswanson8874]

I believe they use bracing to stabilize the ship in dry dock. And support the weight of ship, since the ship is not met to support its full weight on dry land

[@agirlandherpassport]

I know its hard to stay on the ship but I am so glad to hear that they are doing a great job of keeping you guys safe with external people being there. This was very interesting to learn about dry dock!

[@LindaD2023]

Great info! Love your makeup - that lipstick looks amazing on you! Order extra in case it gets discontinued. 🥰

[@janine36]

I will be on Adventure for my cruise on the 12th. I hope I remember to pack your peanut butter. I need to add it to my packing list. I hope you get to put on the showcase during my cruise. Thanks for all the info.

[@jucsmiles5922]

This was a great insight of dry dock. When do you expect the guest to be back on? I guess they're back on now. Right?

[@donnaswanson8874]

Princess cruise line’s Ruby princess. Was in dry dock here in Portland Oregon in October for about two weeks.

[@cvskult]

fun to see the behind the seas of cruising thanks for sharing.

[@BigBear-rz6pm]

Jordan could post some pictures to what you see looking off the deck in drydock area??

[@allthingscruising3272]

Thanks for all the information given! Love these types of videos! So glad you have made it to Galveston enjoy your cruise!! Welcome!

[@elizabeth_k_m]

Love this! Just what I needed after a long day 💖 So interesting, and I hope we get to see a video of the showcase someday! ☺️☺️

[@jbauth]

yesss I’ll be posting some videos of the show soon xx

[@johnwirth395]

I am scheduled for Christmas and New Year, on a back to back sailing with you! Looking forward to seeing your show!

[@jbauth]

yayyy!!! see you in a month!

[@christinav3619]

That sounds like a great cruise! Have a good time @John Wirth

[@sherrjo]

I love watching your videos. I used to work in a shipyard building ships your cut outs were perfect when you were trying to explain dry dock. They have huge pumps that pump the water out or in to the dry dock. Pretty cool to watch as well. I think I read that, like cars, ships need to pass inspections where they are deemed seaworthy since they will be in open sea with paying guests. They look for cracks in the seams as well as looking at all the propellers every 3-5 years. Thanks for sharing. Quick question when they do transatlantic with paying guests do they move the clocks each night or do you just get 6 hours extra at the end of the crossing?

[@jbauth]

thanks 🤗 and they move the clocks as the cruise goes on! so 1 hour a night :)

[@leenaray1172]

Love the hair and makeup! Thank you for sharing about dry dock. Very interesting.

[@commonsense246]

Oh I am so disappointed we won't be seeing you in March as you mentioned your contract will be up. Will you renew and what vessel will you be assigned to Jordan?

[@jessicahall2248]

Awwwwww we love you Jordan - love watching your videos ❤️

[@jbauth]

💕

[@ginalineth]

OMG, I can't wait!!! I'll be boarding the Adventure on Nov 17! So excited!! Finally a vacation after this crazy Pandemic!

[@uviewer12345]

Thanks for the Q&A. Hope your crossing back is going well! Virtual hugs 🤗

[@DavidAdkins78]

I'm booked on the Adventure OTS this Friday 11/12/21 out of Galveston. Hope you'll be here in time! Lol.

[@DavidAdkins78]

@Abbi Ray, great. I was thinking of checking the port camera.

[@christinav3619]

Lots of great information you did very well answering all those questions. Have a great time onboard. ❤️

[@Olbear040]

Pinkies Up... love this video..

[@markn2352]

Jordan You were living in a construction zone! 😁 Good thing it only lasted two weeks!!! 😎 GREAT Video log! I see by the below comments you are in United States Seaport!

[@trbarton743]

Thank you very much for putting together your videos & keeping us informed. Great job.

[@jbauth]

thanks 🙏

[@ladydove45]

I'm glad your keeping busy, and love your videos. I have never heard of drydock. So informative, about dry dock and very interesting

[@mariala7719]

Jordan thank you for this. I love your hair it’s a great style💖

[@jbauth]

thanks maria :)

[@jennifer_u]

Loving your makeup 🙌🏻

[@emzadia]

Are you getting sad that your contract is almost over? Is it hard when the end comes, or do you look forward to taking a break? Will you already have a new contract lined up for afterwards or do you have to wait to sign up after you're home? Are you automatically wanting to keep cruising or do you have other longer-term goals? Love your videos!

[@dm75thRanger]

Great video thanks for the information. I would love to see you operating a crane lol. You could be talking about paint drying and it would be interesting. Stay safe

[@cjamonwilliams]

1 week til I deploy..got my LOE ready..packing now!

[@traveler320ak7]

In the military? If so..be safe and Thanks so much for your service to our country!!!

[@jbauth]

yay!! so soon!! good luck!

[@darleneeastburn7639]

Look at hair today !! So cute 🥰

[@jbauth]

thanks :) trying something new!

[@KenG....]

Great update!

[@msajprivett]

I am enjoying your vlogging series!! How long do you plan to cruise for your ice skating career & what career will you pursue when you are done cruising?

[@terryelliott4942]

Hey Jordan we got to watch the Adventure of the Seas come into Galveston this morning 11/08/2021 we got to see her on the Galveston Webcams it was great too see her cant wait to sail on her in March 2022

[@jbauth]

yay!! so fun to watch i’m sure 😊

[@jessicacadriel2811]

If it wasn’t for Covid, would you all normally be able to get off the cruise ship and explore France during Dry Dock?

[@dogcrazy25]

I this blog, she said others crews were able to get off ship pre-covid

[@brentpayne4215]

Will stay on the ship

[@kanonivlog]

Hi I'm from Rhapsody love watching your video

[@sherrjo]

For the next Q&A I presume it hurts a lot to fall from a jump. The last ice show we saw two cast members fell during the jumps it looked mighty sore. How do you deal with the bruises are you allowed to skip a show if you fall awkwardly?

[@dogcrazy25]

Really interesting. I had no idea there would be crew on board during a dry dock

[@weisgirl2004]

I love your hair and your make up

[@jbauth]

thank you!

[@nicolepelletier9081]

Thanks for the info

[@rosendorodrigues2328]

You look gorgeous 🥰

[@juliedavid6510]

I'm gonna be on Adventure starting Feb 9... When will your last show be? Hoping I get to see your perform

[@jeffthanson]

Well done, thanks for sharing :-)

[@mercedes4302]

I’ve never been this early; YAY ME!

[@brentpayne4215]

Oh boy

[@knotsofast240]

Can you show some video from the outside of the ship to show some of the dry dock?

[@KittyandKatty]

What is your lip color in this video?! Love it!

[@melissaw1813]

Will you take a video of your solo and duet?!

[@thefacesofdavevlogchannel3873]

great video Jordan. I really enjoy your videos. I've always wanted to go on a cruise. how deep do pools go on a cruise?

[@jbauth]

I think the deepest pool is about 5/6ft on adventure!

[@brentpayne4215]

Safty

[@ciarafitzgerald367]

Are the safety duties hard or are they straight forward ? 💓 love your videos and vlogs!

[@jbauth]

straight forward!! just a lot of information thats important to know ✨💛

[@willu9174]

What ship will you be on after you leave Adventure?

[@ashash3368]

Thank you ❣️ So is Adventure in Galveston now? Or I think it is out to sea. I have not cruised since February 2020, right as Covid arrived in US..we almost did not go! We are set to cruise on Adventure for the first time on Nov 26th. Maybe we can meet you! Have a safe time! Thanks for the update! we look forward to the shows!

[@jbauth]

really hope to meet you on your cruise coming up!! we are back to revenue cruising out of Galveston.. today we’re in Cozumel!

[@ashash3368]

@@jbauth great! Thanks for your reply..and I hope so too!

[@John_Be]

Jordan, I have NEVER skated in my life. I would love to try. I sail on Oasis in December. If I went to Free skate would one of the performers help me or am I on my own? Obviously, I don't want to hurt myself or someone else. I can take it if your best advice is better not to try it on a ship.

[@jbauth]

you should try!! Unfortunately there isn’t help provided on the open all skate sessions, but you can buy private lessons!

[@John_Be]

@@jbauth I appreciate the advice. I will do what you say, and not do it. I don't really like hurting myself anyway. Leaving it to the pro's sounds smarter. I'm glad I asked you. Thank you!

Hi

[@inspectortravis5758]

Hi how long ago was this ship in dry dock ?

[@DavidSmith-wp2zb]

Tan may be gone but dem cutie doe-eyes last forevz

[@designdoctor247]

IMO crew should use guest areas alllllll the time. IMO this rule is "out dated". As a cruiser i see NO difference in crew n cruisers. yes one works for the other but...i mean we have a lady who helps me clean and we have tea together when she takes her breaks we fully enjoy our conversations and fully enjoy relaxing together. As a cruiser ...we cruise Disney ...my daughter was 9 on this particulat cruise ...she kept asking our wait staff when they were going to sit down n eat w us 😀. ...seriously... how interesting would it be if the cruise assigned different crew to eat w us...we were assigned another cruising family from Japan who had an only child😀 our daughters age and that was delightful ...both girls ....and honestly us parents would have enjoyed having a crew member join us...what interesting fun conversations we could have had...i mean our daughters could have learned more about life on a ship and we could have help the crew member feel part of family meals 😀 WIN WIN. i realize not ALL cruisers feel this way but i wonder if others do? and not all crew may want to eat w cruisers... they might need a complete break from the cruisers but i wonder if they sometimes would enjoy a meal w a family? ...seems like it could be something we could BOTH have the option of signing up for??? any thoughts u have i am interested.

[@jbauth]

This is a really interesting perspective! I am sure many crew members would enjoy this, I know personally I love meeting the passengers and getting to know a bit about them

[@aftynwatkins4589]

Can I just say how friggin cute you look !?!?!?!

[@CodeDeb]

Remember yesterday when you broke your camera? Well today I broke my GLASSES 😭 and had to get a whole new pair, plus pay for an eye exam. Pretty much financial equivalent of a new camera 😣

Hey

[@eyerune4865]

You still can upload the showcase if you don't perform it!!! And i think i know why France ; Brittany (St Nazaire isn't far) is a peninsula with a perfect roadstead, close to historical trades routes - UK won Napoleon's war so it's not just history, they save tons of fuel. Also most countries don't have the civilian equipment for it, Brest is some kind of Fort Lauderdale without the sun and tourists, and, to my knowledge, i can just think about France, Norway and South Korea when i think about very big shipyard
