Just people? No. You are extraordinarily lovely people. It's also amazing how fast you get videos out. Appreciate it. 👍🛳❤

[@lornamarinrifkin6065]

Thanks for still doing cruise vlogs! We look forward to it every day. Seems like some other cruise vloggers have stopped them and focus on just news recaps so we really appreciate you sharing your ship experiences with us.

[@PatJ61]

I love when Vloggers support fellow Vloggers.

[@grandmarocks4373]

After watching your videos I have decided you are my favorite bloggers!!!! Soft spoken & great camera work.. Keep it up!!!

[@mickeytollison]

Yes

[@haylimyatt5928]

Wow!! Didn’t know you knew EECC travels, they are my aunt & uncle! I watch your videos every morning!! I was watching and I was like “ omg that’s uncle jason” 🤣 love u guys

[@parodeejay]

Too funny! We just sailed Carnival Panorama with them last week. We met them back in 2017 at Disney after having seen some of their videos!! :D

[@kathybird1721]

I cried when I saw you’ll with EECC Travels. Love all of you.

[@Incognito1952481606]

Such an enjoyable vlog. I love EECC Travels. Jason is one big ball of energy all the time.

[@CeremmoniesbyJudith]

So, Bo has been in the hospital ICU since Wednesday night/ Thursday morning. Today he was feeling good & we got to binge watch the last 4 vlogs & catch up. You made my sick man smile!!! Love you guys!! ❤

[@landaroon7793]

So much fun watching Jay and Jason!! And how lucky for them that you can give the benefit of what you've learned over the past week.

[@Dancerjulieee]

I made it into a vlog!!! I’m dancing at the deck party 😬

[@strongholdcc1396]

Seeing other content creators in each other's videos are like seeing TV crossovers between your two favorite TV shows. So exciting!

[@Lafillejoli]

Thanks for SHARING your SLICE of CRUISE LIFE!

[@charlenemorton8779]

Jason & Alisa!!!!!

[@NFHRR]

Love the minecraft looking duck

[@cruisingthrulifewithcindyh4483]

So glad you're on for another week having fun and doing things!

[@living4himga]

I wonder how many of the crew feel like they are reliving each week over and over again. Kind of reminds me of the movie GroundHog day

[@vlogchannel1260]

Wow that roller coaster is cool

[@explorewithlee167]

EECC Travels Collab was amazing! Love seeing fellow cruise vloggers combined

[@Pnut1998w]

You both are awesome! I been stuck watching your videos for weeks! Lol

[@christinav3619]

What is the best part of this vlog? The whole thing of course! Jason taking over the vlog 🤣👍🥰 Love you guys!

[@kathiespargo3352]

Have a great second leg of your journey! Looking forward to cruising with you on the Pride!

[@kelleyoneal2578]

I want that premium interior room. I need a sofa. Great taste in music.

[@nilsaverafaraon3744]

I’m so happy you guys and cruising western Caribbean on Mardi Gras! I’m learning all sorts of things for my upcoming cruise. Thank you guys you are the best!

[@jodura3363]

Nice. Nice. Nice. Love EECC and you two.

[@pippiegirl1]

Luv seeing Dee have fun dancing!!

[@donnadee9857]

Thank you for more Chris!! You guys are rocking it! Cheers!

[@EECCTravels]

It has been so fun hanging out with you guys!! We are finally getting to sail together!!

[@parodeejay]

Why are we both still awake?! This has been a pleasure, and we can't wait for WAY too much fun the rest of the week!! :D

[@jojoinrancho320]

YAY - that was fun! I love watching EECC Travels, so seeing you guys together was the icing on the cake!

[@landaroon7793]

Ha ha, I get it Dee... When the music's playing, you gotta dance! Loved this vlog's quirkiness!

[@lboutard]

Hope you guys have another great week. I’m looking forward to see what you missed! Dee you are killin it on the dance floor! 💖

[@anekcm]

Just started watching the vid, I really hope they give you a better cabin! I travel for work and peace and quiet in a room is so important.

[@michellejade3272]

Yay! Spa cabin with spa perks!!!!!🥳🥳🥳

[@blair583]

Love the Serenity area.

[@staceyscheuerman101]

Wow so nice people are still hiding the ducks my boys loved finding them on our last cruise. That football duck was the best one 🏈

[@CeremmoniesbyJudith]

We have our ducks ready for March. Love, love the ducks!

[@nicolebarrett3638]

It's been so long since our last cruise I forgot the ducks! I can't remember their purpose? Just remember finding them. Someone refresh me please?

[@CeremmoniesbyJudith]

They are like painted rocks, just for fun... hide, find, keep or rehide or move to another cruise. See how many cruises the duck can go on.

[@lindasobin9660]

Some folks dislike them?! I think they are extra fun!

[@heavencantwait1218]

I’d be afraid to touch them not knowing who all has handled them, sounds like fun before covid came about, now I’d pass ..

[@vilmasvacation8599]

Enjoy your second leg of the cruise

[@stevechaudoir9052]

Many thanks for another great posting!

[@nathanp8716]

Love the video! Thank you so much for the zoomed in shots of the Emeril’s Bistro menu with prices!! It is much appreciated!!

We loved this! Thank you!

[@galynfergerson]

The deep sigh both of you took at the end.. I felt that! 😆

[@markgriffin9353]

I once has a AFT extended balcony . It was under the Lindo and heard nothing but furniture being moved around!!! OOOPS still enjoyed the cruise!!! Love you guys thx again

[@joyrussell7645]

You two brighten up my day

[@amyf7045]

Thank you for showing the premium interior. We have one of those cabins booked for our Oct Mardi Gras cruise and hadn’t see a video of them yet. Love your videos! Appreciate all that y’all do!

[@cruiselady588]

Love you both!!

[@janburkett2708]

Fun vlog!!!

[@CruisingforFood]

I loved you starting the vlog in the future! Lol The Serenity Pool was a great idea on the first day. Ya'll have convinced me to get a spa cabin. Enjoy your second week!

[@Cloud7Travel]

So much content from all the fellow cruise vloggers recently. I'm still catching up watching all of them! Keep up the great work guys!😃😃😃

[@donnakelly2677]

Feel like I am there with you! I just started following you and I just love you!! Thank you for all of the content and fun!!

[@TBONEDIPS]

You guys were on the same cruise as EECC Travels, that's cool

[@Kuwilliams71]

Love your Vlogs, thank u

[@judysmith9552]

[@sthomas232]

Thank you so much for showing us the menu wall with prices at Emeril's!!! You two are awesome!!!

[@geofflara1]

I LOVE this video!!!

[@pamelawiggins9131]

Excellent live stream by the way. We were so curious about the Mardi Gras, and you guys gave us so much. Thank You.🌺💕 Serenity looks better than Havana area 😁 I'm just saying.

[@janete1292]

Enjoyed live 👏👏 this vlog very good 👏👏👏👍

[@michelealkins616]

Thank you for answering my Q about the size of the safe!!

[@Luanne21]

My hubby has asked if you will refrain from posting, until I have cooked a decent meal. I just finished watching the Vista, Horizon, and today’s post. Yes, I did a thumbs up for each and everyone of them.

[@michelealkins616]

And thank you for answering my Q about the lanyards! They are not complimentary anymore but are for sale in gift shop! If they were still comped I would leave our regular ones at home and just use those, but not interested in buying them.

[@linda319]

California Linda shares your vlog today had so much energy, fun and spontaneity. I have been to the Monterey Sock store for a pair of socks just in case we sail on the same ship. Ron Goodman on Princess' Regal wore a different pair each Wake Show. A monumental task on multiple B2B's. Love the ducks, my last ones were found on a trail in the Blue Mountains, Sydney and on the Sea Princess which I too will keep as a 2020 memento. Love the fact the you do not need the limelight and share content time with others like EECC Travels. WOW two of my fav six vloggers together. 💞

[@conniejohnson9393]

Love your outfit Dee

[@unlinkedstudent]

Love you guys and EECC Travels, it’s lovely to see you all getting on so well. Hey Jay, you missed Alisha dancing at the sail away party though! One day, I hope to meet you all. In the meantime, safe travels, have lots of fun and vlog on!

[@rlproctor4219]

You 2 Are So Awesome.. I just Love Your Channel

[@AKAdventures]

Dee I just love to see you dancing at sail away!! We're the same in that way....we just can't stay away from the dance floor LOL Enjoy your second week on the Mardi Gras...can't wait to see more! ~ Kyra

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

Thanks so much. Have an amazing cruise on the Dream. Loved seeing you guys again.

[@parodeejay]

Wait, the Carnival Dream?! Oh no… that other one… nevermind!! :P ~Jay

[@deniseandrews213]

We always pack our swimsuits and go straight to the pool (adults only) and change in the bathroom, get a drink, and start the vacay right away! That's a very good tip! Dee, I love the earrings and that cute outfit, you are wearing at the beginning for dinner!

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

Thanks so much. Earrings are from Shein and romper is actually from Target.

[@deniseandrews213]

@@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay Thanks! I might be a little too old for the romper but it looks amazing on you!

[@SeaBrzJo2]

We just board with swimsuits on under a coverup. Pools mostly empty and no worry about early cabin access.

[@mysharyna1741]

Agree. I love her style and I'm getting great ideas for my 1st EVER cruise in November.

[@deniseandrews213]

@@SeaBrzJo2 Even better idea!

[@catherinekayne1071]

Dee I love your night outfit! Please do a what you packed video

[@mikeoconnell4241]

I’m on the the sister ship celebration second week out next year back to back . I hope to see you two there. Great videos .

[@goodtimeswiththegoodrums3019]

Yeah Jay!! With the B-roll in the Brass Magnolia 😂

[@gregparkes633]

Another great vlog y’all! Thanks. I’ve never done a B2B cruise. Seems like you get to try everything which is sometimes hard on a single.

[@contessblue344]

Enjoy your videos….thanks

[@lisaleach9179]

Dee that jumpsuit is giving me LIFE 💯 😍

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

Thanks so much. I wasn't sure if it looked good on me. But I've gotten so many compliments on it. I'll definitely be adding it to the rotation. It's from Target.

[@HuddleAdventures]

Awesome vlog! Jason and Jay are like Batman and Robin! 😂

[@scottk.3366]

We found a duck on Horizon and it will be on the Miracle out of Long Beach. Keep up the excellent work

[@hochutiem2678]

@ 16:28 I was on the Magic that day on the starboard side as we went by you guys.

[@EEusafan]

I just discovered your channel during your first Mardi Gras cruise. I love your videos, such good content!

[@rachelstgelais]

I SPOT ME IN THE VID!!!

[@debbiemuise8856]

Nice duck 🦆 collection!

[@Lafillejoli]

Woo Hoo LOVE BLUR AND NIRVANA ♥️♥️♥️ 90S GRUNGE LOVE

[@karenbarnes3589]

I’m in the middle of watching you on yesterday’s video. I’ll have to have an extra long coffee break and binge watch to catch up. Can’t wait to try Shaq’s Chicken. I sure hope Jay does try out the Nashville Hot sandwich. I love spicy food.

[@debwright4655]

You can pick me for the give a way of one of those books as there will be none left when we sail in sept LOL Enjoyed the live stream. That was fun to watch when the four of you were together.

[@lisaatchley3328]

Is it weird that I really like the carpet design of this cabin compared to all the other Carnival carpet I've seen in your vlogs through the years.😋

[@LindaD2023]

Would you consider putting out a video showing how to do all the sail away dances? Really want to do them on our cruise next year.

[@parodeejay]

We’ve got three “Dancin’ With Dee” episodes out already and hoping to make more in the future!! :D

[@latonyao.]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jacky409]

Hey, I will be sailing on the Mardi Gras on Sept 4, same itinerary, I was hoping you'd be able to share when the formal nights are. We are trying to book one of the specialty dining, and we hate missing out on formal night. Also if you've never been, Poncho's Backyard in Cozumel is our favorite place to eat. Amazing margaritas, and fantastic, authentic Mexican food. Depending on where you port, it is super close by.

[@karenlyles1315]

I hung out for part of the live stream.

[@dawncorrellcruz9709]

Yes giveaway so awesome I would love a book

Jay, you absolutely made me laugh with the Queen lyrics in the Serenity pool!! #licktherocks and #peepeeDee LOL!! How fun to see you "letting your hair down" with EECC Jason and Alissa!! I love it when Dee gives us a kiss goodnight. Looking forward to more!

[@2luvjazz]

That was another amazing video. So…you’re doing a giveaway for the book?! Great, don’t forget to autograph it!😊

[@travelwithus750]

So is all the inaugural jazz only on the Mardi Gras or fleet side. I would love some free upscale food on freedom in March.

[@parodeejay]

Just Mardi Gras for now, though I'm hoping they'll roll some of this new stuff out to other ships!! :D

[@kennethdrizzo]

Awesome videos! You should do a lanyard giveaway.
