We sailed from July 31 to August 14, 2021 on back-to-back cruises with stops in San Juan, Amber Cove, Nassau, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Mahogany Bay. This sailing was 95% vaccinated (see our separate protocols video for more information on that) with basically no mask requirements indoors our outdoors, no social distancing, and self-serve buffets. Let's do this thing!

Dee its so great the way you will do anything, like being hypnotized again. you go girl

[@TBevis]

“He’s actually a hypnotist. We’re not gonna go there.” Cut to Dee GOING THERE. I love it!

[@LynBailey7]

Hooray! I love sea days, even if it on a virtual cruise. Thanks for brightening up my lockdown. 😊🤗

[@ckclair]

I love your videos! You guys are so thorough and informative about the cruise! Love your mannerism! Sharing for all to see!!

[@lasandrawinterssmiley293]

Love you two, I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago!!!

[@celiaburrell438]

I would love your life, go for it guys, you both are the best❤

[@rodchris8630]

Love you’all. So much fun. Wish we were there with you. You have such a zest for life. Enjoy every day together!!! Great videos.

[@michelealkins616]

Thank you so much for all your content and for answering Q’s! I’ll be on Mardi Gras next week. Also, REALLY helpful to learn how tall y’all are b/c my hubby is 6’5” 240 lbs and I am responsible for making sure he fits/is comfy everywhere 😂 and I was worried about the showers but if you fit he’ll most likely fit!! Such a relief!

[@tinkerbell5558]

Love the speakeasy jazz thank you for sharing your memories with us

[@donnawhiting8194]

Jay you are a Ninja at finding ducks! I'm going to look in some of your spots in Sept.

[@SmokeN.Mirrors]

Ms. Dee🤩 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10..... 🤣😂🤣😂 You guys make my day!!!!!

[@vlogchannel1260]

So cool

[@takeciabroom1981]

I love the fact you all shared what you do for your careers

[@celiaburrell438]

I am with you Jay Wee Wee

[@debwright4655]

I am so glad to see that you did a lot of fun stuff. I enjoy jazz so it was fun being with you all in Club 72.

[@kylecaswell1969]

I never believed in hypnotism until my cousin was roped into it on a ship once, and he is one who wouldn’t lie about that stuff or fake it, so when i saw him actually driving a “car” on the stage it was so cool. Also he remembered nothing beforehand! I want to be hypnotized now after seeing my cousin and now Dee!!

[@lindasobin9660]

Love these videos! Thank you both!

[@thecruiseworld]

That was a FUN day for sure!

[@cruiselady588]

Great Marci Gras videos! Cannot wait May 2022

[@sandymetz8527]

You both are so fun and easy to watch. You’re my favorite channel for travel. Thanks for being just yourselves.

[@jackieaudus9829]

That was total fun… the hypnosis .. freaky but fun !!! Well done Dee !!

[@staceyscheuerman101]

Aww elephant duck it’s so amazing all the different kinds of ducks that are out there lol

[@NoisyLittleCampers]

Thank you for putting time stamps. Excellent

[@Phonetroll]

Lou Bega -Mambo no 5 A little Mardi Gras in my life....

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

I was RIGHT THERE with your thinking about the suitcase full of money, Jay! I already have the TRUE love, so why not get that $$!! I really enjoyed the little "sneak peek" into your behind the scenes working while cruising. Wow - I don't think I could be hypnotized but how fun to have a little spontaneous hypnotism show in the hallway. Thank you for sharing all your adventures!

[@vickimcdonald1961]

Y'all just make my day!!!

[@leehamilton8344]

Dee, you are a great sport to get hypnotized again. Enjoy!

[@dianejohnson6867]

Wow! I like your description of your room. Can't wait to see the video

[@darcymckillop252]

Dee is brave to be hypnotized like that. Good on you.

[@jackjilinski9208]

Loving the cruise content ! Keep It up!

[@lboutard]

Awesome video! Cool secret club too! You guys rock!

[@sjarm4]

We love jazz and hope and pray to get invited to the speakeasy! I’ve been to one here in town, so much fun!

[@chuckoneill2023]

It's amazing how the LED screens look on your camera. Love Elephant Duck.

[@pamdleve]

What a fun day.

[@michelealkins616]

Thank you! Where has your channel been all my life?! So much great info here helping me prep. I think I want to just shadow your vacays - always a week or 2 behind you would ensure I’ve properly prepped for all our vacays! ❤️ and it’s like you read my mind - I was wondering when you do your day jobs! 😆

[@chrisphinney6430]

i cant wait to cruse

[@FoodiesVacations]

Ok, that was deep. Dee you are a good sport

[@twftravelingwithfriends9402]

Nice jazz!

[@NFHRR]

Looks like a great sea day....playing catch up as worked late the last couple days.

[@leslyehowell3390]

That fiat was also built in Spain with brand Seat which rhymes with Fiat. Funny to see how many could fit in such a car. Kind of like the number clowns that stream out of a car at the circus. 3 adults siting in the back with 3 little kids on laps. Front driver and another adult with kid sitting their lap. So think that is 9 people. In the boot was beach stuff, chairs, towels, snorkels, flippers, and picnic basket, I can’t remember what else. Yep early Fiat/Seat cars had be well built vehicle for transporting people. We think their feet helped move the vehicle, Flintstones’ style.Yabba Dabba Doo.

[@pattidecerbo2820]

We were on the Sunshine with the Magician that visited you. He was amazing. Thanks for your sharing your cruises with us.

[@sherrywagner8449]

16 of us on Madrid Gras for Thanksgiving. My vacation planner always make sure we have cabins above n below us

[@JustinMorales796]

That's hilarious Dee! Props to all you guys for volunteering. You have more courage than me. Haha

[@kathyslocombe1182]

'Y'all vs. Eh".. Jay, you have us Canadians beat. I've never heard a Canadian say 'eh' as much as you say 'y'all' in a sentence. LOL

[@parodeejay]

Heck no! Every time I’m editing, I’m like “did I REALLY say y’all three times in that sentence?!” :P ~Jay

[@Cloud7Travel]

That's a lot of ducks that you keep finding. I've only been able to find one duck ever out of all my cruises. 🤪🤪🤪

[@Taste-Try-Travel]

Hey guys! My wife, who left me at home this sailing (our furbaby’s need me), said she ran into you wonderful folks yesterday…🙂 She assured me the food on the ship was disgusting and there was absolutely nothing to do whatsoever… I think she might be fibbing🤪🤪🤪 As always, fun fun video. Keep it up!

[@vernietrips926]

🤣🤣🤣 OMG! Thanks for the laugh

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

Haha we enjoyed meeting your wife also. She told us about the channel you have on KZbin. Yeah she's right nothing fun to do not eat on the ship. 😉

[@pinklucky61]

My niece and her gf rented an apartment from Chuck Wagner and his wife on Pensacola Beach couple of months ago. Said they were really nice couple. He told her he was going on Mardi Gras, but I didn’t want to get him in trouble by mentioning it before CCL announcements.

[@jasontech6666]

[@chuckoneill2023]

I wonder if Mardi Gras and Encore were designed by the same team. Our interior on Encore is also wedged sideways over the theatre.

[@rifkymasri1065]

Love to hide and find duckies. A lot of fun! I take between 200 to 300 to hide on my cruises.

[@mike44b]

9:05 Hey Jay, what program do you use to edit these videos? I always pictured iMovie..

[@parodeejay]

Never been a Mac guy, hah. I’d lean Premiere Pro, or even the free version of Davinci Resolve if you’re looking to edit on PC.

[@mike44b]

@@parodeejay awesome. Ill be going back to pc once my mac gives.

[@NFHRR]

I am a skeptic of these hypnotism sessions....might have to volunteer, like you said what the worst that can happen.lol

[@landaroon7793]

How do you handle work when the WiFi is really bad? That has stressed me in the past, but thankfully I retired last year.

[@wernstberger]

The Club 72 Speakeasy looks like so much fun! Did you meet the Great Gatsby?

[@jennifermoore4460]

Dee where did you find that beautiful dress you wore for elegant night? Love it!

[@parodeejay]

The evening dress is an Old Navy find from a million billion years ago!! :P

[@stephanykoehne6833]

We are on the Mardi Gras in October… I want to get some door decorations- Are the doors on Mardi Gras magnetic?

[@Julietsmoments]

Do you two ever go have breakfast in the dining room I would love to see the dining room

[@parodeejay]

We had brunch twice in Palm during the first series and dinner in Flamingo in this video, so we’ve finally visited both dining rooms! Woohoo!! :P

[@moelladevil]

Club 72 was fun 🤩 where were you when you got the invite? do you hear the elevator or people coming in or out of it?

[@parodeejay]

Normally either a fun squad member or one of the band members will hand you an invite, possibly in the area of the Brass Magnolia. That’s where we got ours!! :D

[@kmak5345]

Wondered who was behind camera as you walked into dining room 😎😎😎

[@nilsaverafaraon3744]

How fun! You looked like you just woke up when you were hypnotized that was awesome! Can’t wait to see what you guys do in Cozumel!

[@michelealkins616]

Oh shucks. What night is lobster night? That’s my fam’s fave and I might have booked Steakhouse or Rudi’s that night.

[@parodeejay]

Usually always night two!! :D

[@sala3042]

Have a cruise coming up on Aug.22 did not get the cruise insurance …………Now I am looking to get it for all the thing’s changing so fast. Can you tell me what I can do? Thank you!!!!

[@parodeejay]

Oh wow, hopefully it's not too late! I don't think you can add insurance after final payment is made, even through a third-party, but I'd say get some quotes and comparisons from InsureMyTrip.com and see what they've got going on.

[@timbarnett4870]

was that Jason from EECC? That guy is a hoot.

[@parodeejay]

Yes indeed! We’ve known them for years but somehow haven’t sailed together until now!! :D

[@andyconway5610]

My two favorite Vloggers on the same cruise - woo hoo!

[@karenbarnes3589]

Good morning!☀️ What’s your opinion on the Flat Iron Steak and also the Pork Tarts? I always get Prime Rib and would like to try something different.

[@parodeejay]

Pork tarts are one of my favorite items. Flat iron steak I hardly ever get and could have skipped it again, hah… it’s easily overcooked so I should have ordered one lever rarer!! :P ~Jay

[@mharb8346]

QUESTION BEST HOT WEATHER MASK do you have any suggestions? I now have to mask all day for my job. Would love to know which is best for comfort in island weather

[@skylerroxasmidoriyatardisp2882]

263! That stupid prime number has found me again! I can't seem to shake away from that number!

[@ladycarmelcarter-dillard280]

Lol! So what is the deal with the little hidden ducks?

[@TinaC982]

Are the doors on the ship cabins magnetic? I noticed you guys didn’t have your door decoration up 🤔🤔 or is that to dispel your hoards of fans from stalking your room??

[@parodeejay]

I think they are, but we normally use a command hook anyway... we've forgotten to snag the sign off our recording wall the last two trips now... yeesh!! :P

[@TinaC982]

Ok cool. We use command hooks when the doors aren’t magnetic and a mini magnetic curtain rod (we have a garden flag) when they are! Don’t forget it on the Pride! ❤️

[@MegsnSeas]

The one where E-I-E-I-O was really excited about the special speak easy.

[@johnw391]

Have yall been to the Broadway show yet?

[@parodeejay]

We did last week, but are planning to go back because it will be slightly different this week!! :D

[@johnw391]

@@parodeejay thanks my wife and love broadway shows

[@JennyCruiseCommander]

Oh I wish you would’ve showed Dee looking in the mirror after the hypnosis! The last one on Pride was so great and made me laugh out loud with her! 😁

[@parodeejay]

Manoj didn’t set them up like that. He brought her back up but didn’t give her a trigger to remember it. That was too funny last time though!! :P

[@nicolemerritt8018]

Is there any way you can check to see if you can still get the Caribbean Colada drink at the Tikki Bar since the menu is different? That's my favorite drink, I'll be so sad if you can't get that anymore!!!!

[@parodeejay]

No, the tiki bar doesn't have that on the menu, but Mardi Gras is the only ship with the new "tiki bar" concept as far as I know. The other ships in the fleet still have the "rum bar" concept and menu.

[@deniset1005]

I'm sorry am a newbie to cruising, but tell me story behind the ducks. Is that something that's done on all cruise lines or is it just a Catnival cruiser thing.

[@helendemarco4476]

I have problems understanding all you say on your posts and there is never closed captions so, sadly we miss so much!!!

[@parodeejay]

The background noise on this ship seems louder than anything we’ve sailed recently. We try to get up close to the microphone but then people comment that our faces are too big, hah… :P

[@shannonortega2069]

How fun is club 72! How cheap were the cheapest drinks on the ship? Lol (In club 72)

[@parodeejay]

$8.50 drink specials, so maybe a buck off, ha ha... :P

[@TBevis]

Are ducks just a Carnival thing, or is that an industry-wide tradition (sorry if that’s a dumb question)? Oh! And what about towel animals?

[@parodeejay]

The ducks started with Carnival passengers, but have migrated out to other lines. And as far as I know, most lines do towel animals as well!! :D

[@terryelliott4942]

Great vlog guys oh yeah Jay did Dee ever find her belly button
