You guys are great, and I can’t wait to meet you on the October group cruise. I love what you do in all the social media channels, and y’all are part of what inspired me to become a TA (for a whole 2 months now!), but really, you are entitled to your own personal lives and to take what personal time you need. You’re human, and that’s not anything to feel sorry for. So glad things are normalizing, and looking forward to a great 2025

[@JJCruise]

Congrats on two months as a TA! It’s hard but rewarding work! 🥳

My condolences to the both of you. Glad to see you back even with a heavy heart. We have been out of Galveston a ton of times. Most cruisers try to stay at the Harvest House. It's sooooo close to the piers but doesn't have a restaurant. We have stayed at the Holiday Inn but either way check for a shuttle to the terminal. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Hello Jared and Jordin, hope you are well. First let me offer my Condolences on your loss, thoughts and prayers to you and the family. I am glad you are not leaving Utube and you are resuming your travels. Taking time off to be with family and friends are very important. And time together to just unwind and relax. I will be looking forward to your live video from the Disney Magic. Enjoy your cruise and hang out with Mickey and Minnie and have fun. Take care and be well. 😂

We will definitely be making a video about our experience! 😄

[@John-r8n3s]

My wife and did radiance of the seas in November. One of my favorites make sure if you can, go to the upper decks when you go under the skyway bridge. The crew is some of the best

[@joyadefoor2095]

From the experience of losing Mom, at some point, you two may need some more time. Take it! Self care and care for each other will sustain you. Blessings and healing prayers.

Thank you for that. We truly appreciate the understanding! 🤗

It always seems even worse when a loved one passes away near Xmas or any family holiday times , you needed to be with your family and remembering your Grandfather . Glad you boys will be back cruising very soon and look forward to catching up on your videos ver6 soon .

We were on the Disney Magic for the maiden voyage, and it was great fun. We had kids with us and that added to the enjoyment.

[@shootingstarsphotography174]

Welcome back! Will you be on the Star Inaugural? We are looking forward to that one! Recreate the Icon magic! We won a royal up on Radiance and were in the 2 bed owners suite 2 years ago! Hubby won a karaoke contest and had the chance to sing in the big theater! Enjoy it guys! Wendy

[@JJCruise]

No news yet on Star. What a wonderful Royal Up to win! 🥳

[@joanclare9788]

I hope you enjoy your time in Tampa. The city has changed so much since 2020 and I love living here. So many new yummy restaurants and beautiful hotels right at the port now. Enjoy! I’ve been on many, many cruises but only one out of Tampa as the ships seem tiny and old. Looking forward to some updates about Radiance so maybe we will give them a try

[@JJCruise]

Yes! We can’t wait to try her out and report back ☺️

[@charlesturner1377]

We did radiance last year and it’s a nice cruise with lots of glass and the schooner bar is great.

[@michaeldillaman8373]

Glad to see ya'll back. Always remember yourself and family first. I'm from Texas. We just got back from a cruise out of Galveston. You have to eat at Fisherman's Wharf. Great food. Sit out on the outside seating and watch the dolphins play as your eating. Plus if there is a Carnival ship in port they are right there.

[@JJCruise]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@tcmw779]

Don't feel bad - family first. My 2 Grandfathers died before I was born, a fraternal Grandmother died before I got to know her, so I only knew my maternal grandmother and she died before I was a teen. IMO: no problem taking some time off for whatever reason - take of yourselves first - sometimes you just have to. Take your time getting back into "the groove". Take care!

[@whislermike69]

I hope you're flying in the day before. There are several great places to eat, drink and other things to do. Check out The Spot for food and drinks. There is also a dolphin tour down by the docks to check out and down town. Im not sure what motel your staying at. I will be in Galveston with my son and his girlfriend for a cruise January 31. We board on February 1

[@JJCruise]

We are staying in a hotel the night before but flying out same day as disembarkation. ☺️

[@sandishull2378]

I am a Texan currently living in FT Worth. We sailed out of Galveston and have family who live there. Galveston is an awesome port. You will need a couple of days there to thoroughly enjoy all it has to offer. Don't miss Pleasure Pier it's awesome to ride if the Ferris wheel is open, the views are out of this world. Moody Gardens is also great but not right now. Freezing temps expected this weekend State wide. Stay warm and pack accordingly

[@bevricker4812]

Never apologise for doing what you need for your own health, whether that be physical or emotional! 🥰 We people out in cyberspace can always wait a while for a new video. ☺️ I am so incredibly sorry for both of your losses. 😞 I know how deeply that hurts. Both my husband and I have been in that place recently too so we totally get it. Looking forward to your new content when it comes. 💞💞💞

Galveston is so beautiful, and so much fun.

[@TWSmith42]

Glad you have overcome your challenges. Also, glad to hear you are making more vids. Although, will spending time on smaller or less-well-known ships decrease your viewership?

[@JJCruise]

We believe these ships are less focused on by larger channels which makes it sometimes have less content out there for people to find. Thus, our content may rise to the top for those looking for said content. We saw this with Enchantment of the Seas when we went onboard her just last year. ☺️

[@supermom788]

Love the Radiance. The red frog pup is awesome and a great place to hang with friends & family. We have sailed on her twice and would sail again in an instant. Also sailed on the Disney Magic in 2007 but unfortunately, since then all Disney cruises have been out of our price range.

[@JJCruise]

Thanks for the warm welcome and the heads-up on the weather! 🥶

[@RLong-d6p]

Some suggestions for Galveston from a Houstonian. First, the cold weather is not normal, and you may laugh at our response to possible snow. We enjoy The Grotto (San Louis Hotel) for a nice meal. If you have a car, stopping at Buckee's off I-45 South is a true Texas experience. My husband and I enjoyed sailing on the Magic many years ago. Have fun!

[@JJCruise]

Thanks for the Galveston tips! We're excited to try all of them! 😊

[@kirkRobertson-ym4pe]

I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area. Galveston is the only port I have ever sailed out of. Easy drive for us the day before. We get a hotel and board early on embarkation day. I haven’t done a Disney cruise, mostly Royal Caribbean. And since they have a brand new, state of the art, port it is very convenient. Disney actually is sailing out of the old Royal port. Love the Radiance class of ship. In 2023 was on Radiance to Key West and the Bahama’s. Last year we were on Jewel of the Seas. 11 Day cruise to the south Caribbean. Have a great time. Looking forward to hearing what he have to say about the port in Galveston.

I was on Radiance of the Seas in October 2024. Travelled from Vancouver, BC to Los Angeles for 8 nights. Had a fantastic time! Itinerary was top knotch. Vancouver, Victoria, BC, Seattle, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Catalina Island, to LA. Great dinner service, good meals, lots of options and variety. The ship is a little dated and could use some refreshing in some parts of the ship. Hope you enjoy your cruise!

Try to fly into Hobby Airport for your Galveston cruise. It is much closer (miles and traffic-time) than the IAH further north. Also, if you get some time before or after the cruise, try to grab yourself some authentic Texas BBQ Brisket and Ribs.... it is the best!

Harbor House in Galveston is an Awesome hotel to stay at either before or after your cruise because it is right on the cruise pier and it just is Super nice!!! Also, Guido's is an Awesome seafood place to eat, along with Joe's Crab Shack, and don't forget to check out the Seawall there in Galveston, which is where Most of the restaurants, bars, and hotels are at- Enjoy guys!!!

We sailed the Radiance of the Seas in 2010 on our Honeymoon. We loved the ship but we did not get most of our luggage and Royal Carribean staff let us down with broken promises. Also they pulled out of the LA market righ after that cruise and the vitirol some of the crew had for SoCal was pretty disappointing. Guess what line we don't sail on anymore ]
