Jordan, every time you post a video it gets more interesting. Can hardly believe the ice team is having to make their own ice, but just fascinating. I will appreciate every ice show on board even more! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

[@jbauth]

appreciate your support ❤️

[@ladydove45]

I also think it's crazy that you had to help make the ice. The routine looks awesome, and can't wait to see a glimpse of your solo.

[@elizabethmayberry3414]

But if they’re going to be using it and their safety depends on good ice I can see how’d they want to be involved. I think on a cruise ship you wear a lot of different hats

[@jbauth]

cant wait to share it!

[@dollhouse1298]

The way I GASPED when y'all were saying you might have to re-do the ice. Hope it works out, seems like a very tedious process.

[@jbauth]

the stress is real😅

[@lindatannock]

Can't believe you had no ice engineer there to make the ice! It's crazy you were left to do it yourselves. The ice is probably cracking because the machines were turned up high to freeze the ice quickly. We used to flood it with a layer of water and give it plenty of time to freeze. More than 20 mins between flooding it. DW about it cracking. It'll be fine once it's at its proper thickness and normal temperature I'm sure 😊 Hope rehearsals are going well! 💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛸️

[@jbauth]

we wait 20 mins between flooding! chief ref just set temp too low too fast.. we fixed it though :)

[@CodeDeb]

That’s crazy that you had to make your own ice. I would have thought it was a more automated process. Or a technician’s job

[@peterd8817]

All the crew have multiple job's, work extremely hard ie muster drill, spot light , frie watch and even then have to clean their room . How Jordan finds time to vlog, edit and interview others is amazing. ⛸🙆‍♀️👏👏👏

[@lindatannock]

I'm really surprised there's no ice engineer there tbh! That should be their job, not the skaters. I've helped make the ice on a tank before (tank is what you call a portable rink), but only because I volunteered to help the ice engineer. We didn't have a Zamboni. Everything was done by hand....clearing the ice with large scrapers and wetting it with a large hose attached to a t-shaped wooden frame, with cloth along the bottom to act like a Zamboni wetting the ice. It worked great! Ice was always excellent. The skaters didn't do that tbh. Stage workers and the engineer did it.

[@peterd8817]

There is a ice tech , the issue is the ship is a return to service not a normal regular maintenance. He was probably doing the night shifts ? The production cast are the stage workers for the ice cast and the ice cast are the stage workers for the production cast .🤷‍♂️all work work work .

[@rmk6693]

Jordan - you are killing it with these videos! With all you have going on, it is astonishing you have time to film and edit such high-quality videos. And it is so interesting to see how ice installation and your learning process goes for your contract! Thank you so much!

[@jbauth]

I do my best! time management is super important to me so I can get these videos up for you all to enjoy ❣️

[@nasstroms]

Hey there Jordan. Just back from the late ice show on voyager (20th of april) and both me and my wife loved the show! Big shout out to the complete cast and triple that to you of course! Good luck with the ice and the show! Loved to be able to enjoy you enjoying skating live! Much 💕 from us!

[@jbauth]

so happy to hear you enjoyed! ❤️

[@anneoestreicher7333]

I love the sound of the blades on the ice.

[@jbauth]

meee toooo

[@kristinlueb5606]

Thanks for bringing us into your crazy, water spraying, ice making life on a ship! I love it and it makes me appreciate all the hard work each employee does! I truly had no idea you guys do so much! Happy Skating

[@jbauth]

thanks kristin 🥰

[@darleneeastburn7639]

New ice? A new experience for all of us !! Luv watching ur rehearsals…. Thank you ☺️

[@robynwood550]

Loved this video so much. It was fun to see all the hard work behind the scenes.

[@markgoecke2323]

Jordan, several cruises back we were taking a behind the scenes tour of the ship. When in Studio B, the cast member showing us around pointed out a black disc-shaped object at center ice under the ice and asked if anyone knew what that was? Of course, no one did. She told us that prior to laying down the ice, all of the cast members placed a coin or some other personal memento in a thin, round canister and placed it under the ice at center ice. I wonder do ice casts still do this?

[@jbauth]

yes! coins are quite common 😇

[@aldnd69]

So glad you didn't have to redo the ice ⛸️. Loving your vlogs. Stay safe

[@designdoctor247]

the footage of you guys learning your show was fasinating to me.

[@Alexhaskins]

I love your videos so much! Out of curiosity, how many hours a day do you typically spend working? I’m sure it fluctuates on the day, but I am so impressed with how you manage to work so much and have time to film/edit videos so frequently

[@jbauth]

depends day to day! on average probably 6/7

[@budgetwithcam]

As a former figure skater, I absolutely LOVE watching you skate. I miss skating more than anyone knows and I hope to someday come back to it. The sound of the blades on the ice, there's nothing like it. The smell of the ice, God I miss that. I love how fierce you are on the ice, I was always too anxious to show any emotion when I skated.

[@jbauth]

❤️ skating is life!!

[@sharonberg4817]

I knew nothing about skating before Jordan. I love finding out how you miss so many things about it. For me this is how I feel about my swimming career. Competition makes some hearts sing.

[@nancyjohnson50]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us! So glad that things are coming together for you. Good luck with the ice.

[@jbauth]

Great video! Everyone is looking so good on the (slightly umperext) ice.

[@nathseverett4288]

I am a veteran Theatre Performer, dir, and choreographer in the Philippines. I am used to the whole process of putting up a show, BUT WOW! I am so amazed at what you have been sharing about putting together an ice show. First off, you are amazing!!! Absolutely brilliant!! Love love love watching your rehearsal videos on ice! You spins?!! 💯 And now, rehearsing your routine from ground to ice!! I love it!! Thanks for sharing all of these with us 😊💕

Its great to see the process of how you put the show together from scratch. Do you get to use the areas on the shop before you get passengers, like the pool or is it to cold were you are.

[@jbauth]

we didn’t because it was so cold! but other guest areas yes 😉

[@markniehaus2234]

Great video! Just realized I hadn't finished watching until now! Bummer about the ice cracking first! A little nerdy techie info. Ice in skating rink for figure skating is between 24 and 29 degrees Fahrenheit. Makes the ice slightly snowy when skate cut into the ice. Hockey ice is a little colder and makes it skate faster.😊

[@rickylouwrens6404]

Oh my gosh!!! I’m early!! Love your vids!!! Im boarding in June as Cruise Staff and your videos have been hyping me

[@mariala7719]

OMGGGG I got so worried when you said you were afraid of ice & your insurance wasn’t up to date. Girl don’t scare me like that. Also when you were saying that you had to fill the ice yourself, I was like don’t they have people for that😂😂

[@Olbear040]

i really love this... so did you ever find out why the ice was doing what it was doing?

[@jbauth]

chief ref said the temperature was set too low too fast, should’ve been more gradual

[@salliestewart4713]

That sunset was gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing!! Also I had to smileys referred to soda as pop. I am from ohio and that's what we called it but NC calls it soda

I know you are working super hard, but please get as much rest as possible. I would hate for you to get run down or sick. Thanks for sharing this Birdseye view of your Shipboard life. Hugs from Houston.

[@jbauth]

appreciate your concern so much, this is very kind ❤️

[@raypierce5818]

Loved this one so much!! Lol… between Willy and the Jeb Rand shows I’ve done, making that initial ice base is ALWAYS a challange. I just got to Copenhagen yesterday an we’re starting out load in tomorrow for the “Werq The World” tour. Today is just running around the city getting materials, then rigging tomorrow, rehearsal the next day then opening!! I’ll try and get pictures to send to your IG :-) Have a great run on board!

[@lorrajulian8622]

Very cool (excuse the pun!) to see how the ice is made. Well Gab...cracked ice or skating with a puppet attached to your foot? LOL! Your cabin keeps getting better, now you have a tv mounted at the foot of your bed! Can't wait to see your solo! (And...nice beard, Pasha!)

Love watching your videos and what goes into the makings of an ice show at sea. Very interesting and enjoyable to watch. Love those white sneakers you had on. What brand are they? I need those. Can't wait for your next video.

[@ToeTag1968]

Probably a super silly question... could you possibly use a torch or heat gun and spot melt only the cracked areas? Hope it all works out!

[@jpbpds]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great behind the scenes episode!

[@tomcollins5112]

If you had liquid water underneath the ice, you could stock the rink with fish and have ice fishing when you're not skating. Kind of short-sighted of the cruise line not to include that option, don't you think?

[@frogman_2373]

Great video,J! Thanks!!

[@tpgslg1283]

It's really cool (lulz) to see this process, thanks for sharing it with us! Would this normally be done using the Zamboni?

I have to know both girl understudies and I also learned the 1 boys track while we didn’t have a cast member to fill!

How long do you have to wait in putting down another layer of water? I wondered approx how many layers of water will make up the ice? What kind of music do you like? Thanks for another great video & for taking us along.

[@JFORSNY]

Since you grew up in the frozen north, they should have put you in charge of making the ice.

Love the comment about wi-fi. Paid 350$ for an internet package that was horrible on Oasis of the Seas. I DON'T recommend the internet packages on RC ships. Not worth the $$$. Inconsistent service, bandwidth issues, loss of signal, and employees told me it was a waste of money. How did your internet packages fair?? Who has the best internet @ sea?

Bit of a random question, but of course understudies are completely normal, but what would happen if most of your cast got covid again? Would you still have to isolate, or not because your vaccinated and/or had it previously?
