ABOARD WITH JORD: how much I ACTUALLY spend working on a cruise ship! 🛳️ 5 day cost breakdown

[@marisa768]

As someone who is a cruise ship passenger 4-5 times a year, I really enjoy your content on the crew's side of these sailings!

[@honeybeevampire1343]

SAME! I love seeing their side! I am a little jealous of their “store” lol I always crave something I can’t find on the ship when I am cruising lol

[@NancyGstt]

Jordan, we are on board the Explorer now 1-30-24 and saw you skate at the 7pm show. Wow. We’re almost Pinnacle and we’ve never seen a better group of skaters. And your darling face was shining bright. Thank you for your energetic performance tonight. Thank all of your fellow skaters for a wonderful performance. Highly enjoyable.

[@user-mp4zs2by9m]

You’ve done very well for yourself. Expenses on board are optional, you receive free items & clothes from sponsors or potential sponsors, and in addition to your full salary, you make money on your merchandise. First class business woman, Congratulations.

[@RaquelNavas]

So happy to see you supporting a great ministry ❤ 3:45

[@HooppyM]

Love these vlogs, well done on the re-block in your understudy role/s (hope the skaters recover quickly). Would love to see a vlog of what Callum does +/- his spend during a cruise- sort of like a Callum takes over the vlog. Rather than just a q&a that is. What does he do both on the ship, on turnaround days, in port (both with you & when he is not with you or you are off with your cast mates enjoying the port) & what he does in his role on the ship.

[@christinamariets]

This is a great idea.

[@thefaithonista-cristinamye7038]

Great idea!😊

[@Mom2MegCaitAsh]

This is my first video I watched from you, and I will be watching more! Your ice skating is amazing! I had to stop and rewatch it a few times! Thank you for your video!

[@maureen14]

My former neighbor is a skater on a cruise ship. I don't know which ship she's on. I think it changes. Even though I've never been on a cruise and I'm not an ice skater, I enjoyed your video.

[@karbear26]

I think what you spend during a cruise is a really interesting and fun video to watch I would like to see more of them!

[@jbauth]

Yay! I’m so happy to hear that :)

[@SamDybing]

I’d love a long video on finance and budgeting for sure! I wish I had more self control. That might be another video idea. Ways to find self control and discipline when you just don’t have any. Love your videos!

[@BrianAlt]

NIce job, Jordan. Love the behind the scenes looks at life on a cruise ship.

[@TinyTopazNails]

I've always wondered, do performers get any kind of stipend for makeup and hair essentials?

[@trinityraee]

always enjoy your videos! will definitely watch another one of these or any other ones you post, also I enjoy your longer videos, I watch them while I catch up on cleaning! 💛

[@honeyandthebrie]

hey Jordan! Jamaican local here :) i'm not surprised that the prices of the patties went up at Patty Port, they've skyrocketted for us locals too even in just the last year :(

[@lindatannock]

Having to learn 2 more cold-spots in addition to your own is a lot! Hope you don't end up having to do that one as well lol. I've been there, and it's a lot! (But was super rare for me, as we had a cast of 12, with 2 off each day). 💗💗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛸️

[@louisetvancouver6161]

I would love a video about budgeting tips as I’m really bad at it. Also , you should consider a larger ship for your next contract as the mess may have a larger food selection. The Wonder or Icon would be fantastic 😉🚢⚓️

[@trbarton743]

Thanks for taking us along. It gives us a behind scenes tour of what goes on. Muck appreciated. It shows us what goes on when someone is missing from the cast. As you have shown us lots of work. I’ve mentioned before if your ever on a cruise that stops in San Francisco, given any free time, I’d both of you to be my guest.

[@RyanHolliday211]

So happy the patty stand is still in business! I went there practically the day they opened and then on many of my Falmouth visits after.

[@sammersk92]

Interesting!! I like these remixes in your daily life! ❤

[@TheAmberlya]

I'm sooo excited I'm going on my first cruise in March for my birthday on a royal Caribbean ship!

[@EmsFitVenture]

I love these videos! Do you set a budget for yourself per contract or per week or month? Or something else? Do you guys get paid weekly/monthly or something else per contract?

[@carlim6356]

Thanks for always bringing us along! How is your schedule determined between skating and drills?

[@emazonreviews6269]

First!!! Love you Jordan your personality and positivity is contagious !!!

[@aSoldiersGirlieGirl]

Love your sweatshirt!! It reminds me of growing up in the 80’s/early 90’s❤

[@karagawer6143]

3.00 is a good price for chips. They are almost 6.00 now in stores.

[@irenejones8766]

Especially at Publix!

[@chrism4432]

More about Caleb's job and responsibilities on the ship would be very interesting!

[@travelingon7458]

On Royal i always get iced latte with coconut syrup. The stores are way more expensive than $3 for chips.

[@Jillnomaha]

I was thinking that too ! A smaller bag at my local store is $3+ 😅

[@Ms.Opinionated]

Hey Jordan, Did you see any of the US Figure Skating Championships? Quads always amaze me.

[@syp330]

I have to say that the patty place in Jamaica you went to has the best I have ever tasted!

[@margaretkoenig2906]

This may be an odd question, but I don’t know where else to ask: I am going on a Disney cruise and as you may have heard there is a tradition of pixie dusting both other passengers and cast members/crew members (which is giving small gifts to brighten someone’s day). What is something that you would like that wouldn’t be a hassle to hold on to or just thrown in the trash? (I want something that I can give Cast Members at the ports as well as on the ship if possible)

[@shaleighreynolds3494]

This is so interesting, loved seeing your side! I think we are on explorer this summer for our Greece cruise. But can’t remember.

[@reynemattie2097]

Just went on the explorer of the sea a few weeks back. I just loved the ice skating show. So impressive and talented. Enjoying ur vlogs of saving. Stay away from that casino lol

[@Maddym365]

Will Callum be joining you on your next contract? 😊😊😊

[@christinamariets]

I saw the Seafarer's mission first hand the other day! Actually once on embarkation day and on disembarkation day. We disembarked the day of the Miami marathon and it was a NIGHTMARE finding a way out of the port. That was last Sunday. I can't remember if Explorer of the Seas was there or not. I feel like we did see Explorer at some point on our 8 day cruise.

[@christinamariets]

What days were those swells? We were on Horizon and our entertainment was moved around because of the swells we experienced.

[@lissee2003]

Love the budget videos!

[@friezenfan]

I hope the skater your understuding for is doing well in her recovery. And i love the little moments where Graeme is on video. He makes these vlogs more entertaining. Does everyones contract end when yours does? Or are people staying?

[@amymoore1109]

Love your vlogs. You're exhausting me doing your understudy role plus yours. I hope you can rest soon. I love my iPad & I have the screen protector from paper like & love it. It saves the tips of my apple pencil, but I do a ton of writing for my college classes too.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Jordan happy Tuesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@dianevandenende6129]

Hi Jordan, i have two questions for you. How much time you have between shows, and do you know what you go to do after your contract. Maybe other contract. Greetings Diane from Belgium in Hurghada Egypt

[@Loissupes]

Is there a separate seafarers ministry for cargo vessels? I haven’t seen one specific for cruise ships before. Although, as a deck officer on a tanker, I almost never left the ship. So I only went to the seaman’s church once.

[@mustwereallydothis]

Are you allowed to eat in the main diningroom/buffet or are you restricted to the crew mess and specialty dining?

[@cazmariehairstyling851]

I love that yellow top you’ve got on where did you get that from? And the black one that you’re wearing at the end loves it💛

[@filibusterfirework74]

I would love to see more of these videos even if they are just more shorts style!

[@jonsmith233]

Can u do a vid of behind the scenes like what times the mess and crew bar opens plus places where guest never see also maybe more week in your liked outfit of the week please

[@carlagat1075]

There are some footage of crew areas on other videos

[@MrsScootsey]

Would you ever want to skate on icon or star of the seas with the round rink instead of the rectangular rink?

[@kimkrentcil4581]

Any shot of you going onto Icon or Star? But I know you like going over to Europe etc.

[@daisyblake72]

I need to try the chamberlain chai so bad omg.

[@amandasteen9162]

I’ve always been interested in working on a cruise ship. How does getting paid work? Also I love Lisa Jewell!

[@Jillnomaha]

Loved this video the reality of the swells had me 😂

[@ladydove45]

Hi Jordan, your awesome with saving your money, and think it's great your doing that. I personally have a problem with saving money, recently I have been saving and not wasting money on frivolous things. I look forward to seeing your videos/ vlogs

[@AmandaMolly]

Why are you allowed a coffee machine when other crew are not? As many royal caribbean crew I've watched said they are not allowed to have one in their room. So they have other ways to make coffee.

[@DrCrystalHarris]

I loved this video! Divorced 20 years, and I enjoy dating and romance in small doses. My best male romances are about 12-15 months 😅🎉❤

[@MissScime]

I really enjoyed this video! I didn't have my hopes to high, but I LOVED this!

[@amandadowney953]

Thanks for sharing. Enjoy all your content you bring to us. You're such a sweetheart and bring positive vibes. Enjoy your channel very much. 🤎✨️

[@ImEric1606]

Hi Jordan! Just curious if the ice shows on different ships are different. I recently went on oasis and wonder, and the shows seem different than the ones on explorer. i love your videos! :)

[@alexandria65]

Yes they are

[@ktineenaje5728]

Just want to know what app are you using for your thumbnail?

[@user-mp4zs2by9m]

Do you tip the server when you buy your latte?

[@alexandria65]

Why does it matter lmao

[@user-mp4zs2by9m]

Who funds the seafarers ministry? Do you make a donation for the free wifi, coffee, comfy place to relax, etc.?

[@morrispearl9981]

I was just wondering if working back stage for other shows (like dressing invitation to dance) is just part of your job, or is it something extra you do for extra pay (like when you work on the Wifi).

[@Onwithsam]

Didn’t even realize I was ported next to you a handful of time 🙌🏼 Shoutout from the Scarlet Lady!

[@neilgardiner7632]

Jordan, the Seaman’s Ministry isn’t there for cruise ship employees as you mentioned, it is there for ALL seafarers in the port, most of whom aren’t as pampered as you guys on cruise ships… indeed most of them have poor food, no internet access and some can’t guarantee getting paid at the end of the month. The gentle “rocking motion you described is also nothing compared to the 20-30 degree rolling that cargo ships regularly experience for days on end. Cruise ships are stabilised to ensure passenger comfort…cargo ship crews don’t have that luxury. Admittedly your “rocking” might not make for smooth landings, but on a commercial vessel, that degree of motion would be considered as being calm, not worth mentioning. Enjoy your life of luxury, and keep up the good work.

[@KenG....]

Congrats on 100K + views!!!!!

[@garywatson]

So, what did you think of Oppenheimer?

[@carlagat1075]

Hey Jordan, do you know what your next contract is yet???

[@jbauth]

Yes… not yet revealed 🙈

[@jbauth]

Yes… not yet revealed 🙈

[@ameliesarah9662]

anybody know what muster and wifi is? maybe im stupid but im really confused

[@havenstatguys]

Do you ever give a donation to the Seafarer Ministry?

[@alexandria65]

Does it matter?

[@havenstatguys]

@@alexandria65 I think so. She is using their services regularly and it would be the right thing to give them a donation occasionally to help them maintain their services for her and others.

[@EmberRoseGaming]

I’ve been to Patty Port!!! It is soo good!!

[@janh5199]

I’ve never cruised. What do you do during muster?

[@alexandria65]

It goes over safety briefing if something were to happen that involves evacuation

[@givethemchel]

Awww you’re still wearing my explorer bracelet!! 🫶🏼

[@rlhubert]

Then She Was Gone is a good book! I enjoyed it but it made me 😢. Enjoy!📚😊

[@lyn3078]

I loved this, thanks heaps Jordan

[@jennydelengowski368]

Love this kinda video. Gives us DITL with a twist

[@jbauth]

I’m sooo happy to hear this feedback :) more to come x

[@jbauth]

I’m sooo happy to hear this feedback :) more to come x

[@kagomegrrl21]

What is muster2.0? Question are you going to be doing a new contract..

[@tinalovestotravel]

I really enjoyed this video. I think the Seafarer's Ministry is such a great idea! Such a practical ministry to give y'all free WIFI!!! I'd love to see a video about how the ministry got started, who had the idea, how it's funded, have people experienced salvation, etc. I also loved the idea of explaining how much you can save! That was very interesting!

[@jenniferburri4508]

Those chips are about $4.50 at Publix- stick with buying snacks on the ship!!! :)

[@jbauth]

omg score then!!

[@Masonk3005]

love it. so interesting..

[@alicegaston8609]

My fav bar tender

[@mustwereallydothis]

Are you paid extra for your understudy role?

[@tartytart2580]

Thought it was called "Mustard" ... Today I learned it's "Muster"

[@SURFAHOLIC.GAMING]

I worked on voyager when those two guys were there 😂

[@meganmkinney]

Impressive spending/saving habits! How is it to see the youth Olympics now that you're professional?

[@remn10]

Like your videos. What is a understudy?

[@michaellowenthal9260]

It was so nice to finally see your boyfriend smile he should be smiling all the time😂👍😎

[@Darkangel-A-c8z]

It seems so much fun to work on a cruise ship, but unfortunately I suffer from seasickness 😢

[@Katz1950]

I can’t believe they don’t have better food for athletes 🤯. Almond milk latte @ Starbucks grande $6.66 where I live

[@commonsense246]

Quit apologizing, it's your money and you're extremely frugal...you deserve treats occasionally! All I want to know is what you have in your savings account! LOLOL

[@TheUltimateCruiser]

What are saving for? A home?

[@brendaw2255]

That size of chips at my local stores is about $4

[@williamlarson275]

Ur an impressive skater!

[@SeanBurke-ij4zq]

She reminds me of Talia Scott, THE SCOTT FAM

[@jbauth]

omg i love her!!!

[@leifyla]

Can you link that case. I like the see through back

[@kevinlawrenceconleyi.i.i.2359]

Did u have to pay for your lunch when got the 30 on your muster shift?

[@jbauth]

no it’s free :)

[@laurievillotta7935]

Do You not get Wi-Fi on the ship or do you have to pay for it?

[@alexandria65]

They have to pay for it

[@brentpayne4215]

How are you

[@abbyabroad]

Never hit subscribe so fast! 😂

[@jbauth]

omg ily welcome to the fam!🫶🏼

[@dbk7591]

I forgot, do you all have to pay to eat in Windjammer?

[@alexandria65]

no

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

She said in a recent video that it costs her $3 every time she eats at the Windjammer.

[@dbk7591]

I am curious when the food seems limited in the crew places why not go to Windjammer? I know they go some, but why not more?

[@hazelscrim]

I know its rude to ask, but how much would you earn in 5 days?

[@DimaRakesah]

Why, if the off-shore building is for crew to get off the ship a bit, is it so religious based? That would make me very uncomfortable. I really dislike the idea of someone offering something I may need (time off the ship and some wi-fi access) as a way to proselytize to me. I hope there are some non-religious places crew can go if they don't feel comfortable in that religious environment.

[@ConeArmy]

there's tons of cafes, libery etc. but this is the us keep that in mind most things wil say god wil protect you. or something like that

[@DimaRakesah]

@@ConeArmy "most" things in the US that are meant for general use are not overtly religious, because we have that whole freedom of religion thing.

[@danielcouturier6037]

What does your boyfriend do for work on the ship?

[@tinam7191]

Frugal, hard working, intelligent and pretty. It’s giving Capricorn energy. Maybe virgo? Any one know Jordan’s zodiac sign?

[@jbauth]

i’m a leo 🤗

[@billspringer239]

How bout a day in your boyfriend's life!
