3 month check-in: answering your FAQs about life working on the world’s SECOND largest cruise ship!

[@cynthiamilo5571]

I’m a shocked how much they work you on the ship. All the jobs that you do on top of the shows, is mind blowing. Like the skating isn’t already a full time job! I surely hope you are paid very well. Plus the videos, yikes, you’re busy. Your time you put into your videos is amazing, very well done! I’m impressed. I’m sure 100K subscribers is coming very soon. Very well deserved. I don’t have any other social media, but, I’m surely enjoying you here on KZbin.

[@saphiaer]

I tried googling how much performers earn on a cruise ship. Hoping it’s not accurate but it was minimum wage. I guess it considers free accommodation and food

[@lindatannock]

The skaters don't work for minimum wage, as they're professional performers! They earn a good wage in showbusiness. HTH! 😊💖 ​@saphiaer

[@lindatannock]

​@saphiaer the skaters earn a good wage, as they're professional performers! People in showbusiness are compensated well for their skills, don't worry! HTH 😊💖

[@alexandria65]

Well I mean.. they’re there to work! Not to vacation, lol.

[@elizabeththompson1525]

I’ve always wondered how much they make considering they have no cost of living and get paid in experiences as well

[@deannastar4861]

A day in the life of Callum, if he’s willing, of course! Or a day in the life of crew members in other jobs. Thanks for being so generous in sharing your life with all of us. TFS! 💙

He’s not interested or otherwise it already would’ve been done (:

Learn to respect people's boundaries and privacy. He doesn't want to. Gosh

14:50 i am so glad to hear the ship staff has a dentist. Dental pain is awful and often needs care ASAP. Good job Royal!

That’s wonderful that you’ll be home to celebrate Christmas with your family!

[@designdoctor247]

totally agree! 😊

[@lindatannock]

Agreed! I worked Xmas contracts every year for 6 years, so I was never at home. It's really special to be able to get home and spend time with family.

[@jaime9718]

i would love to hear about your craziest cruise experiences (weather, onboard situations, emergencies, etc)

[@tannahill5129]

This Q&A has been so insightful! Because you are still young and very much in shape, I hope you continue to cruise at least a few more years. I enjoy your content so much!!!

[@ericafetchko2592]

Currently watching this while onboard Utopia!! Your show was amazing tonight, so happy we were able to see you and the rest of the cast shine!

[@vickieelliott787]

Love the Q & A videos! It was so fun to say Hi when I ran into you on Explorer while completing a transatlantic cruise! I enjoy hearing about your experiences as a ice skater onboard Royal Caribbean ships. It’s fun to hear from someone who truly loves their job and is willing to share their experiences. Especially when it involves cruising. 🙂

[@Deborah-s9t]

I can't believe it, that's been 3 months already. I enjoy watching your Q n A, and it's always cool when you do them.

[@Mindyscraftsandcash]

I love the Q&A. I would love you to do an interview with your mom when you get home. I would love to know about her skating history as well. I would also like to know if you have met up on any of the ships with some of the skaters you competed with.

[@RiverWoods111]

Wow! We need to get you to 100K! Everybody shares her videos, we can get her there if we all share her videos! I think that schedule of 3 or 4-day cruises coming back to Florida turning around and starting again, then right back to Florida would be hard on all the crew. I thought it would be fun to come cruise on the Utopia to see your new show and the new ship, but I think I will wait till you are on a longer cruise length. Less kids and less party atmosphere is more my vibe. Fun Fact: I went on a Royal Caribbean Cruise 7 days to the San Juan Islands clear back in 1978 when I was 14. Funny that these days I am like, "Hard No Thank you on rug rats!" I have never minded teenagers, and I loved my kids when they were rug rats, and I look forward to having rug rat grandkids that I can give back to their parents spoiled rotten, but I don't really appreciate other people's kids!

[@marilynschiff5675]

Jordan saw your show on the 19th! You were super and felt like I knew all your crew through your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@jstern75]

Could you explain how the tech process went - in terms of how did adding in programming lighting and projections go during the process.

[@TravelwithEbby]

Yay you will still be there when I’m on the ship! I’ll be on December 9th

[@brentpayne4215]

Brand new show . The light ing is awesome.

[@cynthiagreenhill5283]

Yes, will get to see you again. Cruising December 9. Met you on Wonder last year in May.

[@amywhitfield5066]

I love the skate blade tattoo and saw it an new what it was right away. I don’t even skate!

[@brentpayne4215]

Nice blade out line

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I really don't understand 3 and 4 day cruises .... I have to fly almost everywhere to cruise (I'm on the west coast, so I COULD drive for Alaska and Mexican Riviera cruises) so I'm not flying for a cruise that's less than 10 days. In January we're doing a 16 day from L.A. to Miami and THEN back to L.A. through the Panama Canal again! The ports are different and we'll be onboard 32 days ... can't wait.

[@designdoctor247]

my husband n i totally agree w u ...it is not worth the effort IMO and the price difference is NOT worth doing 2 or 3... 3 days back to back IMO

[@designdoctor247]

the 16 day cruise GOSH I 😊DEAM of that. we have been blessed w many 7 and 6 day cruise ...IMO the 7 is EVEN tons better than 6😊

[@lindatannock]

Sounds fun! Have a great time! ❤

[@alexandria65]

I could never do a 3-4 day cruise. It’s too damn short.

[@johnG-l3p]

Not worth the effort if someone lived close by. Time wasted getting on and off the ship!

[@rlhubert]

Great Q&A! Your hair and makeup are on point in this video! 😊

We just got off Utopia of the Seas today 8/26/24. All the shows were fantastic!!!! Youtopia was worth the wait to see you and the cast on the last night!! We will be back in eight weeks!

[@katieinman2305]

Great questions! We were on Utopia this past weekend for the three day, she is such a beautiful ship. We said we have to come back. All the shows are amazing. Yours is so much more than just an ice show the level of talent is really amazing, and your solo was great. I don't know how to say this and not sound creepy so I will just say it. My husband was able to get some really great shots during the show. I'm not even sure if you're interested but would love to share them with you if you are.

[@pen4tenn]

Are you going to have a celebration when you pass the 100K mark?? I will be looking for where you are headed next, I keep cruising at the wrong time or wrong part of the world to catch you skating!! I hate 3 or 4 night cruises in general. I like to settle in and stay put.

Me realizing watching this video that I truly live in an area the size of your cabin (a small 25 ft van/rv) give or take a few feet! Lol and my small area is drivable😆being the biggest and best perk!

How was it on land

[@gaylac8264]

Ive always wondered when you are back stage at the shows and have to change costumes do you wear some kind of under garment since it seems that area is coed? Some costumes seem to be low back, so no bra, so just wondering.

[@alexandria65]

Shorter cruises tends to be more of a party vibe. Longer cruises have the opposite effect!

Q: Hi Jordan, long time follower. I know voyager of the seas is sailing out of Brisbane, Australia from December 2025. We will be on the cruise into Brisbane from Singapore. You mentioned you would love to travel to Australia in your last vlog. What are the chances you might be in the cast of voyager for its season in Australia?
