Carnival Mardi Gras (Western) Pt.3: Big Chicken, Occidental Cozumel, Ship Pool Hopping - ParoDeeJay

[@michelealkins616]

My fave vloggers paired up! It’s the cruise vlog equivalent of watching Aerosmith and Queen jammin’! 😂🤣 so enjoyed this- thank you! ❤️

[@scottscaneh]

Inquiring minds want to know. Whose head is bigger? Jay or Shaq?

[@dcrease100]

Love this episode! Our two favorite bloggers (EECC travels and ParaDeeJay) together. Hope you do another one together. Wife thinks Dees new look and clothing is adorable. Please keep up the good work.

[@grandmajackie338]

I hope not I'm here for parodeejay💅🏾

[@ycamiller]

Jay, you made me holler out loud at work when said you have issues with balls flying in your face....then your expression. To funny.

[@living4himga]

Jay, I am a meat eater too. I love veggies but have to get my protein in first. After that I don't have room for veggies. I had gastric bypass in 2014. So protein comes first.

[@cpfritz]

Love seeing you with EECC travel, they are the other vloggers we follow. We totally see how tall you are now in comparison to Jason and Alicia 🤣

[@lisahart4684]

I love all the vlogs and can't wait to get on the Mardi Gras in December. Occidental looks beautiful. It looks like you have been having an amazing time on the B2B on the Mardi Gras. Do you think that this ship is your favorite now or do you still like the Pride the best? Also, I had sent you friend requests on facebook, but you had never accepted. it is under the name Lisa Walkewicz, just wondering as to why. LOL Thank you again for all your vlogs, I love you guys, you seem so genuine, down to earth and a lovely couple and hope to possibly meet you both one day.

[@living4himga]

Jay, you look pretty tall in the vlogs. Yeah you have to watch those drop offs. And watershoes are great. I wouldnt go in the water without them.

[@EECCTravels]

We had a great time hanging out with you two…even with the warn nuts and balls flying at our faces…lol! See y’all soon! 🤘

[@parodeejay]

Those were some dang tasty nuts though!! :D

Love the 2 pairs of bloggers...can't wait to cruise 10 days on sunshine...December.

[@karenlyles1315]

You guys are in a spa room. What are the benefits and will you be trying them out?

[@parodeejay]

We're actually plotting a spa day for today... I know we get to use the tile loungers, thermal pool, and sauna & salt room areas for free, whereas you normally have to buy a day pass. I think that's about it though, hah... :P

[@susanaperez7723]

oh loved the all inclusive you picked for Cozumel. I will be adding it to my list of places to visit. Thanks Jay and Dee!

[@jasontech6666]

Found my Mom in the video! lol (Deck 16 Pool)

[@dianeallen7313]

I'm so glad you get along with EECC Travels bc you two are my favorite vloggers. Also I feel like I'm watching Gulliver's Travels when I see all 4 of you together bc I know that you two are tall but I didn't know that J and A were that short. They need to take your advice and "get tall" 😂 (kidding of course) but yeah I was so excited to see something other than Sancho's in Cozumel!

[@scottk.3366]

Goodmorning guys, your vlogs are a great start too the day.

[@johnw391]

Have watched many of your competitors videos and yours is full on more info and going to these same islands in October

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much, though we don't think of friends in our community as competitors, ha ha... glad to have you along for our craziness!! :P

great vlog! Good to see EECC Travels in the vlog. Have fun!! Oh, question: looks like you can serve yourself on the buffet??

[@lisaleach9179]

I know you guys say you are tall, but it really shows when you are walking side by side with Alisa and Jason😉

OMG. ITS EECC! My first cruise bloggers ! So fun t see them filmed. Lol

I can't believe there are only 1500 likes/thumbs up & there has been 30,432 views!!! Come on y'all, hit that button!!!

[@Prince_of_void]

Be tall.... ummm well that ship done left without me; I am 4'11" and after 50 years old now we can safely say shrinking. I love seeing the contrast between y'all and EECC height wise (ya both have rockin' channels) note to self, remember the water shoes!!

[@onedaycloser2872]

I have a question, is that ship full capacity? I don’t see any crowds. And we always have trouble finding chairs by the pool….ps love your videos ❤️

[@boomboom2009]

Love this channel! Do you all live on the ship?

[@parodeejay]

We wish, ha ha… we just love cruising!! :P

[@tiffanyhanson3701]

Love this episode- it seemed like you had a really good time! I can appreciate the water hopping, we have plenty of days where we do that on a cruise!

[@cruizingwiththemullins2129]

What excursion was that??

[@parodeejay]

We bought day passes for an all-inclusive resort. It’s not an excursion in the traditional sense, I guess. :P

[@scottk.3366]

Award winning vlog today, for sure 👍 Excellent job as usual 👏

[@darbimiller9879]

And if you can’t be tall, marry someone tall and have them hold you in the water 😂😂

[@jlizardi5013]

Definitely cruise life, food, water, drinks, and repeat. Wish I was there with you guys!!! It is hot and sticky in NYC today. Love the ship so far.

[@nancytack4102]

This might be my all time favorite of your blogs. The content and scenery was outstanding. Great job.

[@annawaywego370]

Love this!!! I enjoy watching your channel.

[@living4himga]

Even thought vlogging is your job doesnt mean you are not suppose to take time to relax and enjoy your vacation.

[@living4himga]

Is it a lot easier to get out of the pool with those ladders. I wish they were more like regular pool steps. I have commented about wanting info on the pools but havnt gotten a reply.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Hey guys!! We saw your ship from shore!! We're staying at the RIU Palace Riviera Maya and saw the Mardi Gras sail across the horizon to Cozumel!!

[@lisaleach9179]

Also Dee, thank you for being an example and always using the hand sanitizer!! I'm sure a lot of people see those and walk right by. I am like you, I will always use them 😘

[@jojoinrancho320]

Just curios: How tall are you guys? Funny, I was also gonna ask if Dee played volleyball in school. She would definitely be an asset!

[@parodeejay]

6'5" and 6'0"... :P

[@catherinekayne1071]

I bought 2 floats from your amazon store....

[@eileenreay7021]

Love shein as well, great for holidays 😀👍

[@carolynmills5235]

Just found your channel and love your vlogs! I love Dee's swim suits and also the striped cover. Can I ask where you buy them? Thanks!

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

The cover up is A dress from Old Navy. The swim top is part of a set from Shein and the bottoms are from our Amazon store. parodeejay.com/amazon I like to mix and match.

[@itsasaltylife]

Are they still doing a Diamond Luncheon?

[@parodeejay]

They are! We actually ended up missing them on both sailings because we planned our eating schedule for the day badly, ha ha… but they have been in the Flamingo dining room.

[@itsasaltylife]

@@parodeejay awesome!! TY!! We’re on Mardi Gras October 2nd!! We enjoy your videos!!

[@JesusEliQuiroz]

Been watching yal since open house on the Mardi gras. What do you guys think of Occidental vs Mr Sancho's?

[@parodeejay]

Between the two, we'd go Sancho's just for the amazing food and service. We decided to try something different and really enjoyed it, but we're Sancho's folks at heart, ha ha... :P

[@heathermckinnon1865]

Wait. So is there five pools? Main lido, Serenity, Deck 16 Aft, Deck 8 Aft, Havana?

[@parodeejay]

Four public, yes. And that sneaky private Havana one. Kinda nice!! :D

[@darcymckillop252]

"I've always had issues when balls were flying at my face." You are hilarious!!

Jay cracks me up! 🤣

[@alkeishaedwards7886]

What water shoes do you recommend?

[@kevinfadgen]

Wait, bloody marys and mimosas are included at Big Chicken!! 🐔 🤯🥂🍹

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

Oops no they are not. The bartender was walking by and asked us if we wanted some but it is a purchase item .

[@sweetjaybaby]

💖 Great video! Is there a link for Dee’s pink/black watch ?

[@parodeejay]

Walmart!! :P

[@sueshipman6340]

While watching your videos on the Mardi Gras, I noticed the chairs in the various venues (Brass Magnolia, theater, etc.) look very close together. We also enjoy the comedy club, MDR, etc. My husband uses a wheelchair and I use a scooter. They would never be able to maneuver through all the close chairs. I realize it might just be the perspective of the camera, but I must ask - do these venues have ADA access?

[@parodeejay]

The chairs are very tight in some venues, but Carnival is good about providing accessible deck maps showing every route, every area to park or sit, every accessible elevator, every cabin, etc... they've always been very thorough! The PDF version for the Mardi Gras is here: www.carnival.com/about-carnival/~/media/Images/Ships/MD/DeckPlans/mardi-gras-accessible-cruising-deck-plan-pdf.pdf

[@sueshipman6340]

Great blog! Teri Beard

[@kathiespargo3352]

Wahoo another vlog!

[@landaroon7793]

Which do you prefer: Occidental or Nachi Cocum?

[@parodeejay]

Nachi puts a limit on how much food you can get, according to their website, so that's a slight downside, but I think we'd still pick Nachi over Occidental. We enjoyed our day, but for the same price, we've had a good deal of fun at other places, ha ha... :P

[@ZeusKingOfGods1]

Invest in quick swim drying shorts and shirt ?

[@parodeejay]

I think the issue is “remember to pack them”… :P

[@klee8131]

New Here! found yall last week on the Cruise,An have been watching yall's videos. What is the Occisental Cozumel? Is it an Excursion?to get to go to.

[@parodeejay]

It's a resort property that offers day passes, independent from the ship. We enjoy getting out and trying things outside the cruise line excursions!! :D

Do you have to be vaccinated in order to get off the ship at this port

[@parodeejay]

You can do a bubble excursion through the ship or stay onboard if unvaccinated, yes.

[@jenniferescalante370]

do you ever find seashells?

What a fun day! It was cool to see you experience a different type of all inclusive option for Cozumel! Those pools look wonderful and the time hanging out with EECC = priceless!❤️

Love love love you guys! Also love the way you make it a point to say things properly in Spanish even saying the letter ñ. I was impressed. Take care and Continue to have fun. ❤️

[@Pitsler]

On Royal, you must have a coverup of some kind when you walk through indoor areas of the ship. Kind of like that.

[@janethilton6116]

Just started following you guys in July with your Horizon cruise. Love following you guys and your fantastic vlog! Also love that you guys are hanging out with EECC! Can’t wait to see theirs.

[@dawncorrellcruz9709]

Did you do this excursion on your own or through carnival. I always worry about doing excursions on my own getting back to ship on time

[@parodeejay]

It's independent. We've enjoyed exploring different places and beach clubs in Cozumel so far!! :D

Occidental looks interesting traveling g with teens 13 and 16. Is this appropriate for them? Any other recommendations?

[@nancyskinner8306]

Do you bring your own snorkeling stuff ?

We do! As much as Dee snorkels, we figure that’s way easier than paying for a rental each time!! :P

Yes, your card should have the lot numbers as well as date administered for each dose.
