Cruises go to Iceland too. I’m doing a land vacay there next week

Hi Jordan!!! Thank you so much for the content!!! FYI, peanuts, peanut butter inflames HSV😉 I’ve learned that from experience…

[@laurentipton4295]

Jordan your videos make me happy and you always look so beautiful in the outfit's you wear and please do more videos....

I've been a guest on cruises for many years, and a a member of the Crown and Anchor program. I know many of the things you may or may not be able to do, but am continuing to lear, through you, more details and understand why the restrictions are necessary. Thanks for the information you impart on so many aspects of your job on board. Stay as happy as you seem to be.

[@christinav3619]

I’m so happy to hear your parents are cruising to see you!!! Yay that’s exciting!! Also great to hear how Royal supports you and your channel! ❤️🛳

[@jbauth]

me too!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@eloiseparker6160]

I also Follow Captain Kate. Royal really encourages her too. It would be cool if you were both on the same ship.

[@901BluesGuy]

I learn so much about crew life onboard the ship so thanks for the great vlogs! And it was an honor to meet you on my Adventure cruise August 21 - 28!

[@jbauth]

so glad I got to meet you! 😊

[@lulideloscruceros]

Hi Jord! I love your videossss 💕 Could you tell me how do you upload them from the ship? Is the wifi that good or you have another way? Hope you can answer! Thank youu 😊 Wish you all the best! ❤

[@jbauth]

I usually upload in port when I have service! I have a t-mobile international plan :)

[@lulideloscruceros]

@@jbauth Ohh nice! Thank youu! ❤

[@jaimelyn7175]

If you love smoothies you need to order a Blendjet. They are a wireless portable single serve blender. Easy to use and charge with a USB after like 15 uses.

[@Aftynwatkins]

Never apologize girl ! You explain a lot of your life & stuff you dont even have to tell us, multiples times. I just think some people havent watched all your videos...... like i have.... lol But you're awesome for repeating it for the new people or people who just haven't seen the other videos

[@aaahlixxxx]

I am joining Brilliance of the Seas on November 29th with Royal Caribbean as a Youth Worker and i'm so excited! Your videos have been a big help and have eased my anxieties about starting my contract!

[@jbauth]

congratulations!!! 🎉 so glad I could help a bit 😊 best of luck!

[@laurentipton4295]

I love seeing your parents in the videos please do more with them

[@jbauth]

when they visit for sure I will vlog!

[@laurentipton4295]

Thanks

[@angiedyer1511]

Hi Jordan! Love the content!❤

[@designdoctor247]

It is awesome!!! That u talk to your family daily!!!

[@jbauth]

yes I’m so glad I can :)

[@designdoctor247]

IMO this should be a basic right of life...not a "can"...but something that just IS. If more people knew staff where CARED for in human ways like this...FREE interent ...FREE to call home "anytime" ...more people would feel GOOD about cruise travel.

[@lorrajulian8622]

Love the Q&A's always! Each time I learn more we have in common (besides being coffee-loving shorties). SJ and Cozumel are also my favorite ports thus far, and I would also love to see Europe and the Med! On your recommendation, we'll be trying Izumi very soon too! Missing all of my "Adventure family" from July's sailing. That was such an incredible cruise.

[@jbauth]

yes you need to try izumi next time around! we miss you too!!

[@jodura3363]

This was really good. Did not realize you had other daily duties. Also liked to hear about the ship life.

[@jbauth]

🥳😇 glad you enjoyed!

[@racheloverton3061]

Love how they support you!!

[@jworth7203]

Really cool that you can observe the excursions.

[@easymoneyrifler3634]

Nice video! You brought some good memories from Adventure. Worked on that ship for 2 contracts 2016/2017. It is a special one! Enjoy it

[@designdoctor247]

Best news EvEr thankful u guys eat in the dinning room. I pray they continue that!!!

[@jbauth]

me too!🙏

[@designdoctor247]

IMO We do not live in a CAST society where workers eat in the kitchen ...i mean gosh my teenage dsughter works at mcdonalds and she gets to have her FREE lunch in the DINNING room. Cruiseships neeeeeed to get w the times!!! My husband and i have cruised Disney w our daughter and it is SAD when u do not see familliar staff faces in the dinning room. Honestly i would MUCH rather share a table w a interesting staff member and hear about their day than passangers who are stuffy and brag brag brag about their life!

[@fofocasbbb4681]

hey jordan i'm brazilian and i love your videos about life on board, i also use your videos to learn english so don't stop posting videos please💗

[@jbauth]

don’t worry, not planning on it ! 🤗😊

[@Tuscola64]

I just discovered your channel last week and I love it !! Thanks for sharing !!!

[@1978Tbk]

Thanks for addressing Royal Caribbean’s support of your channel! That makes so much sense to me. I noticed Virgin Voyages really supports at least one of their KZbin creators, which made me think about RC. Congratulations on all of your success!!🥰🎉 Also, thanks for sharing your relationship status.☺️

[@jbauth]

🤗❤️✨

[@berniekirk1397]

She is a wonderful ambassador for RCL Jordan always projects a positive image for the brand. She should be a role model for other young women.

[@brittanynesbitt3421]

I think I was most surprised to learn that everyone has multiple roles on board! I think that’s great! Feels like a whole boat family team approach.

[@jbauth]

it’s 1 big family onboard! 💞

[@lindatannock]

Thanks for answering all those questions! 😁 Sounds like everything is going well out there. Take care of yourself! 💖💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jbauth]

thank you 💕 be well!

[@rmyerscmi]

Since Royal Caribbean is supportive, maybe some behind-the-scenes interviews with ship's crew to highlight different departments in the ship would be fun. Could draw in a different audience, and be a good start to a "social media" career.

[@chipmarks5247]

I have been binge watching your content.. Can't get enough! I am fascinated with cruise ship crew life, and would really like to know how it is regular joes get in on such a fantastic gig.. Anyway, stay positive and keep munchin on that peanut butter 🤣🤣 Much MUCH affection from Rochester!

always excited to see your videos

thank you 🤗✨

@jordan just let me know when you are in Curacao!

[@daryaredekop8328]

We’re docked together in Cozumel ! Wish we could meet up I’m crew for carnival

[@jbauth]

awe that would’ve been fun to meet you!

[@meganmcclellan755]

Hi Jordan, I love your channel. I'm a former cast member from the Disney Dream (2012-2013). How does Royal Caribbean handle the Covid quarantine if you get sick while working on the ship? Enjoy your contract...they go by fast.

[@danidancerdreis]

Disney!? That’s so cool! I’m with RCCL rn

[@jow.2450]

Smoothies - So you don’t have them on board? Wasn’t sure if I understood that correctly. Can you use a personal travel blender? They run on batteries or a charge. Fruit from the cafeteria. Add some ice. ..

[@jbauth]

unfortunately we don’t have smoothies onboard, nor is there a blender in the mes to use.. I would love to potentially get a personal travel blender though!

[@dm75thRanger]

Great video glad they are giving you some free wifi

[@jbauth]

yes definitely a nice perk :)

[@designdoctor247]

Agree. Seems like that should be a given ... it is like a necessity in this world...not a perk.

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

I enjoyed the video. I'll have to see if you're part of the staff on my next trip. It's in Europe. I've run into one of the same social hosts before (oddly, from my first two RCI cruises), and the same cruise director / assistant cruise director before, but I've never tracked an ice show cast member.

[@keishlaspivey6157]

Not sure if you answered this question: Do you sign/ setup your next contract before this one ends? 🧡🌺 Thank you for sharing GOD BLESS

[@designdoctor247]

That is a great question

$4 per hour!

Stay safe and keep posting your beach days... I am living vicariously through you while I am stuck in a windowless office 5 days a week.

[@jbauth]

hey neighbor!! stay strong ⭐️

[@LoFrench]

Oh my gosh your wifi is so cheap I'm so jealous! I'm really out here going to buy an international phone plan to try to hope 25GB a month is enough for me to upload like one video a month on my ship.

[@jbauth]

omg that’s crazy!! i hope you can find wifi elsewhere

[@Vito_993]

Why you so pretty

[@jbauth]

thank you

[@jonesyokc]

It is never good to date a coworker. In your case I would be talking about cast members. If things go sideways, you are stuck facing them every day with no escape. I've been down the coworker road -- not a good thing :-)

[@jbauth]

definitely the safer option to just avoid hahaha

[@tomcollins5112]

I'm sorry the Bills lost yesterday. I thought for sure they were going to win after how the game started.

Every cruise line should provide more wheelchair accessible shore excursions.
