Not quite sure why you turned up in my feed but found myself watching All your videos. Really interesting ❤️💃

[@krista.jocelyn]

Haha thank you for watching! 🤗

[@jucsmiles5922]

Wow, this video is awesome. Never seen one like this before. It was great information about the process. Thanks for sharing and for your castmates for being open and honest.

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@rogermaillet3495]

You popped up on my feed. Decided to watch. Thanks for sharing your behind the scenes. Doing a great job. You have a new subscriber. My wife and I are enjoying your side of the business that we as passengers don’t see. You are very interesting to watch. Hoping that your channel grows.

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you for watching! That means so much! 🤗💕

You always deliver smart content with great information. Thank you for sharing😊👍🏾

Thank you so much! 🤗

Thank you for this great video. As an educator, so many of our high school students do not realize how many venues there are for super talented, hard working, and dedicated performers to find fulfilling careers! I’m sharing this with other performing arts teachers to help them infuse career options throughout the arts in a variety of ways. An idea for another video…talk about the Education, training nd preparation you and your fellow performers have to be able to do what you do. That would be very cool to hear! Lovely channel and great content! Thank you! 😊

[@krista.jocelyn]

Awh thank you so much! 🤗 yes there’s so many options! I’ll definitely make a video on that soon! Thank you! ☺️

[@rodelsolijon]

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you! And congrats!

[@ashreaney8866]

[@ashreaney8866]

Amazing performance! ❤ best one of the week! And even better given you were missing colleagues 😮 Robert should rock that quality red jacket, bow tie and baseball cap as daily attire! 😂

[@krista.jocelyn]

@@ashreaney8866 thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed even though it was a bit crazy! 😅 I’ll tell Robert! 🤪

[@kurumima8250]

I love the videos ! Keep them up ! Your literally my virtual tour guid of entertainment! ❤ more vids asap!

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@travelwithdebandnick]

Awesome video ❤❤ when I was in my teens it was my dream to be a performer, I used to dance, sing and act. I wanted to go into the performing arts field. Mainly doing live theatre :) but I never followed through with it because my father told me I'd never make it and that all I would be is a maccas chick. It stopped me from perusing a career I loved and was good at. Im now 53 years old and I live to regret that. I would so love to do what you are doing ❤❤

[@krista.jocelyn]

Awh I mean it’s never too late! Even taking some classes might be fun! But thank you for watching! 💕💕

[@canegattocg]

This is soooo helpful! Thank you for posting this🙏👏

[@krista.jocelyn]

Glad it helped! :)

[@liontalesart]

Subscribed, because my feed is travel themed now, since i'm solo-travelling around UK, but not able to stay on cruise ships because of seasickness lol. Inspiring Vlogs!

[@krista.jocelyn]

Ooh that sounds fun though!! Thanks for subscribing! 🤗

[@salliestewart4713]

You do a great job in your videos❤

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you! 🤗

[@Sgt.Slaughter]

Make video on Day in life of people in security department, shed some light on that too.!

[@SururBellydance]

Hi, thanks for this information. I'm a professional Bellydancer from Argentina wanting to work on a cruise ship. What kind of Resume should i prepare to apply for a job as a bellydancer? I'll apreciate your advice because it is very difficult to find help with this. Thank you and greetings

[@bazmonq]

thanks, like your videos

[@AnnaAnna-zi8ri]

I thought weigh in's were a thing of the past. How often do you have them? And how many cruises you've worked on have they been a thing on?

[@krista.jocelyn]

We actually don’t do them at Royal. That was an NCL thing so I’m not sure if they’re still doing them!

[@estefaniaaslalema4326]

Thank you for your video, I would like to ask tou how many song ussually you have to present in the live audition, thank you.

[@Badforgood1106]

Hi Krista! Love ur vids. Is that the same process for a musician?

[@krista.jocelyn]

You can still find auditions on the cruise line websites but you don’t do rehearsals in Miami! I think you go straight to the ship!

[@learemenyi1067]

Do you know of anyone who has been hired without a lot of professional experince and or a college degree in performing arts? I danced/did theatre my whole life, went a different route for school and am now considering auditioning as a dancer on a cruise! Would appreciate any insight you can share!

[@AchintyaSingh]

love your editing...what software you edit on

[@krista.jocelyn]

Premiere pro! Thank you!

[@paladinhill]

Could you please comment on the guest speakers cruise ships use? I understand that some are hired by speaker bureaus while others are hired directly by the cruise line. What types of relationships/interactions does the performers have with the speakers? I have been told the speakers stay in guest cabins and eat in the guest restaurants on board, but also have muster duties? Is this true? Do guest speakers ever stay in crew cabins? Do they have access to crew areas such as I-95? TIA for any perspective you can provide!!

[@krista.jocelyn]

I’m honestly not sure. We don’t have any speakers on this ship but in the past yes I think they have guest privileges but I’m not sure if they stay in crew or guest cabins!

[@rawbean11]

Sorry…meant this for Krista Jocelyn! 😮😊Oh my!

[@rhcp2881]

Can you please tell me how differend is the life of a dancer from a cruise staff ? Thanks in advance

[@emmagreen1600]

do you have any information about being a costumer or about backstage jobs?

[@krista.jocelyn]

You can find job postings on the cruise line websites as well! Do you have any specific questions? 🙂

[@alansosalara]

but how do you do it more than 6 months, I heard that the contract its only for 6 months (?) or it is just Disney Cruise Line that has that rule?

[@krista.jocelyn]

The maritime rule is you can’t be on for more than a year I believe. So that must just be Disney! I’ve done 6,9 and 11 month contracts!

[@alansosalara]

@@krista.jocelyn have you had the chance to renew contract in Disney Cruise Line?

[@philhardy6470]

Where r u now, r u still in Europe? If so where will you be 17th/18th August, as we’ll be in Trieste

[@krista.jocelyn]

I am still in Europe! We’ll be in Greece those days tho! 😕

[@philhardy6470]

@@krista.jocelyn We May see you, as we’ll also be in Greece, just watched your Santorini, great video, one of my wife’s & i bucket list places. What ship are you on, is it still the Edge, we’ll be on the Oosterdam. Great videos of your Journey by the way, will we ever get to see your man sing, or is it against Company policy?

[@monica215621]

Do you and Robert let them know that you two want to be together?

[@krista.jocelyn]

Yes!

[@beasmashups7550]

what is the age limit for performer?

[@krista.jocelyn]

18!

[@didiermcginnis]

What's the probability of finding a relationship on a cruise ship

[@krista.jocelyn]

I’d say pretty good. The hard part is when they are from a different country and you separate after the contract!

[@didiermcginnis]

@@krista.jocelyn yeah true

[@cakroncakron4851]

How are you Banyuwangi Indonesia Romi 💘🇮🇩

[@annegiversen]

You are amazing! It's so fun and interesting to look at your videos - You are so skilled in videography! I've watched your videos "some" times - Like 15 🫣 I can't work on cruiseships, but it looks like an awsome job!

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@bugjugable]

Thanks for the video. Sorry you have to get weighed, that shouldn't be legal.

[@user-gw6ef3ff5v]

Will you marry me? Queen

[@pahanin2480]

So you’re an exotic dancer?

[@Olga-gi5hs]

You cope??😅 very well. Now imagine how not English speaking people cope with your speed of speech😢😢.
