ABOARD WITH JORD: a VERY *stressful* travel day to my next contract and my first day onboard!! ✈️⚓️

[@lystramcburnie3297]

Your dad is so freaking proud of you. The way her spoke about you to the lady at the counter

[@robinjordan1238]

So sweet ❤

[@kater.7563]

As a frequent cruiser, I fully sympathize! Have spent over 8 hours on hold with the line too. I now fly 3 days before embarking in Europe and 2 days before embarking at a USA port.

[@heids2810]

Your family dynamic is just gorgeous to watch. I have an 8 yr old daughter and I hope when she's in her 20s to have that kind of dynamic with her! Looking forward to watching all your upcoming vlogs from the med 🙂

[@unapologeticallypam]

It was so surreal watching you jump right in to work! I found myself saying, "Wow, this was such a quick turnaround from home -> flight -> I'm on the ice learning my solo" - you're incredible! Hope you're rested & feeling good 💜

[@trishr2081]

Have to stop and get tissues……Coco destroys me😢. I’ve grown attached to your family. Love how supportive they are of your career. Plus they are freakin hilarious! Looking forward to this contract. Wishing you a wonderful time and loads of fun! Big Hugs from Houston ❤

[@Hotelroomwalkthroughs]

FYI - when you land in your final destination, you can usually use the lounge for an hour after your flight lands. You just say your transport is an hour away. Then you can shower, freshen up.

[@jbauth]

I wanted to do that! but unfortunately when I landed in Venice, international arrivals were set up so we go through customs and baggage claim and that’s it

[@emileefontenot5252]

Just got off Voyager and Tessa and the cast did a great job on Ice Odyssey! I saw the ice show twice, it was so fun! Can't wait to see your show for this contract.

[@tammygreis3728]

Lots of luck for your new contract. Will see you in February- can’t wait ! Love your show so much!

[@AudreyMealiff]

Hey Jordan, I'm excited to see you skate on Explorer- we are sailing on her in October on our first ever cruise so what a treat it was to hear that you are doing your fifth contract on this very ship! 😘

[@aleshalee3394]

I’m so excited about your solo music! My birthday is in September so of course it’s my favorite song!!!! So glad you made it on the ship and it’s going good so far! Can’t wait to see all your adventures Jordan!!!

[@rosalitamarie8836]

Best of luck and many Blessings for your new contract and adventure!

[@robertc1982]

So happy you made it safely ! Looking forward to all the upcoming vlogs! Enjoy your 5th contract

[@jbauth]

thanks so much 🙌

[@givethemchel]

I’m so excited to hear you’re finally on a ship I’m going on!!! I’ll see you in December!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

That’s awesome that you have lounge access now!

[@JeffMcNair75]

Looking forward to your new contract, and more of your amazing skating and powerful spins.

[@ladydove45]

Good afternoon Jordon, so thrilled you made it to the ship. Enjoy watching your vlogs/videos. Have a wonderful day

[@jucsmiles5922]

Hi Jordan, so glad you made it to the ship. Looking forward coming along on this new contract with you. I can't believe I've been watching your videos since your first contract.

[@Vlad2277]

Hey Jordan. Been following you for a very long time. If you can share, what credit card gives you access to the lounge in airports?

[@morgan.williams]

Seeing the Venezia airport brought back A LOT of memories from when I lived in Italy 🥲 I frequented that airport many many many times. I miss it so much!

[@bcsfd279]

I live in Syracuse, back when Explorer was cruising out of NJ, I had proposed to my wife on that ship.

[@Reed-2big]

Unfortunately these “interruptions” are becoming the norm! Hoping your luggage makes it safely, too.

[@rupertbare2023]

Awesome spacious cabin! Nice! 👍 I just hope you aren't disappointed with your permanent cabin, when it happens, if it isn't so roomy.

[@wregloff8198]

Hi Jordan! I’ll be doing a back to back on explorer starting 9/24. Excited to see you skate in person. Go Bills!!( I’m from east aurora)

[@melekahalepuna913]

Gotta love Joe! And Coco bean...I always miss my fur babies when I travel, which is quite a bit! Can't wait to see your solo in its' entirety, love that song! Can't wait to meet the cast! Love the cabin...live it up while it lasts! Happy contract!!!

[@chh6128]

Sailing on the explorer September 10th. We loved the ice show on our May Caribbean cruise

[@love3319]

Your parents are just to stinkin cute!!!! 😅 have fun Jordan!!! 🤗♥️

[@conconlomp3308]

1:52 your dog seems so sad, she really understands you’re leaving.

[@kristypaul8067]

Hope you have a Fantastic contract Jordan can't wait to see the new vlogs ❤

[@losfp]

Great video!!! We are on Explorer on 15 Oct 2023 for our first time on Royal Caribbean and I love seeing videos from creators who work on the ships we're going to be on. Hope to see you performing!!

[@jbauth]

yay!! see you here shortly :)

[@gailprowant9346]

I am glad you finally made it to the ship. Would you share what credit card you use to access lounges? I have been looking at these as well. We travel many times a year.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Jordan happy Monday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@daniellegosha3384]

Yay! I am so excited for you on your contract with Explorer! 🎉❤ Best of luck and have another amazing adventure! I loved watching you skate on Wonder, maybe see you again someday on Explorer 😀

[@leenaray1172]

I can’t believe we are finally going to get to see you! We will be boarding November 25th! We kept missing you last year.

[@wendihaley6936]

We will be onboard the first week of December. Can't wait! Our first cruise on Explorer. If you talk to the cast on Allure, tell them they did a fabulous job during the President's Cruise. My husband and I saw the show twice.

[@kylepingel7907]

If your skates are leather, I would personally use the ANGELUS brand. Deglaze the skate first and then paint it, you'll have to mix some paints together to get the right color, and then use their clear sealant. I've used it for MANY theatrical shows and it's by far the best and does not chip or peel off. You'll have to use the leather paint in the Angelus brand so the paint stays flexible. Best of luck!

[@jbauth]

that’s an amazing recommendation, thank you so much!!

[@spicyli_]

youre honestly a beast jbauth. idk how you went from traveling to skating all in one day!! good luck :)

[@ruthbickerstaffe1915]

Very long Travel Day, however you made it!!! Once you reached the ship Jordan you became a totally different person. You were so enthusiastic and so happy. Great to see. I was even surprised that your ship sailed as soon as you got on. I thought it any have been inPort for a day or two. I can see how much you love your job. Don’t let anyone come between you and a job you so love. Happy sailing. 🙏💗🌠

[@SofiesSpectrum]

Can I ask which travel card you got? I'm hoping to travel more in the next year and would love a card that gives perks like this!! Can't wait to see more of your contract

[@lorrajulian8622]

I'm SO excited to see your solo! "September" by EW&F is my all-time favorite feel-good song! 🎉❤

[@HeatherAHodnett]

Wow what a travel day! I am so glad to hear you got there alright. Happy to see your video, I was going through Jordan vlog withdrawal! Good luck with your install weeks!

[@brentpayne4215]

My mom and dad went on explore of the seas

[@hannaaadelin]

I just booked a new cruise and this time on explorer 🎉 I’m going in february 2024!! 😍 can’t wait!!!

[@angelabrown3994]

Glad you made safely. Now the adventure begins ...

[@kathymcewen7617]

Hi Jordan, glad you made it onto Explorer, looking forward to seeing the ship thru your videos. I’ve been following you for a while and having been loyal to Royal for a long time now, I really enjoy seeing your ship life videos. My husband and I will be on Explorer for b2b2b2b cruises starting Oct 8th and I’m looking forward to seeing your ice show in person.

[@LynetteEdsall]

Was that a pepperoni and green olive pizza! My FAV!!!! Your dad is still a hoot! I am so sorry you had travel issues again but that seems to be the experience of the summer unfortunately. I am glad to see that you finally made it!!!

[@brentpayne4215]

Good luck on explore of the seas don't break a leg

[@brentpayne4215]

The spot light it is Saturday

[@firstsgt279]

Yup, be friendly. I've never had pay overweight Bags. Been almost 23 yrs since I was last on Explorer of the Seas, will be nice see her again!

[@heatherem9748]

So glad you got there safely! Just wondering at the airport in Venice, as you have lounge access you couldn’t go to a lounge upon arrival 20:41 for coffee? That’s what I do after a long haul flight and I need food/ drink or a shower…be good to check to see if your access includes both departure and arrival lounge access

[@901BluesGuy]

Looking forward to following your adventures in Europe! Hate you had such a travel ordeal but glad you're there! I be departing on one of your former ships this Sunday - Allure!

[@nindalib]

OMG you flew Delta to Italy!! I wish I was working your flight!!! That emergency seat on the 767 is a pretty good seat no doubt 😉 you were probably asleep when they went by with the second service (breakfast and coffee) Glad you made it safe and I am looking forward to seeing videos of your new adventures 🤗❤️🤗

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

I got really lucky the last time I flew to Venice (from Philly). There was barely anyone on my plane, so I was really able to spread out.

[@maryannvazquez4146]

Enjoy your videos so much! You mentioned the credit card that gives you perks for the lounges,which one is that?

[@bobgrewe988]

Hello Jordan, welcome aboard the Explorer. That is a long flight for sure. We are doing a 15 day crossing on the Odyssey in October can’t wait for that one. With you out of Fla as we are, who knows we might run into each other. Love the Explorer! Enjoy we will be watching.

[@rmk6693]

Your new intro - love it so much! What kind of dog is Coco? She's so cute! Great travel video and love the Earth Wind & Fire song!

[@diamond_h0us]

I appreciate all the effort you are putting into documenting your lifestyle/job which is very different from mine which is an engineer mostly sitting at a desk in an office attached to a factory. It seems like it’s common to switch from one ship to another regularly. I wonder if that is to avoid burnout doing one show?

[@angiedyer1511]

Hi Jordan! Your channel just found me! So grateful too bc I love your vlogs. Thank you for making them !❤😊

[@jbauth]

so happy you’re here!! thanks angie 😇

[@autolargue]

congratulations on the Italy contract!!!

[@Travelbuddies1988]

Jordan!! I met you on Voyager and brought you coffee. I’m glad to say I’m on Explorer next month. Hope to see you!

[@jbauth]

hope to see you again 🤗

[@trbarton743]

Great video as usual. Can you explain the device you use on the plane so that you can use your earbuds? Thanks again for a great video.

[@MariaVazquez-jv6ux]

Hello! From where is the beige cross body bag you use?

[@coachschwab53]

Hi there. Love you girl and so enjoy your videos. Question. Would love to have a link to the shoulder bag. Love it

[@brentpayne4215]

I guess will try again tomorrow

[@salliestewart4713]

Glad you got there safely

[@brentpayne4215]

I never been on explore of the seas

[@karbear26]

I’m so sorry they canceled your flight!! How annoying glad you got to spend more time with your family! Not sure how far the drive from Buffalo to JFK but could you have done that so you could have still made your original flight? Hope you have a wonderful contract!!

[@RyansTravelChannel]

Ill be on adventure in september, and i sailed on allure same time last year, i wasnt impressed with the food like i remember it. I am glad all your flights worked out

[@christinemartinez1119]

Yay! Joe Bauth! Love him! Also love the new intro!

[@blazewskimeghan5424]

have you seen how nice the employee cabins on icon of the seas are going to be?

[@traderpete007]

What card did you get? Amex Platinum, Chase Saphire Reserve and Capital One all have really good travel benefits.

[@susanwiley-grim7450]

Best wishes for a successful contract. Enjoy

[@lindsay329]

Love these types of videos

[@hazel1766]

Have a wonderful time ❤

[@laurenvazquez6778]

I’m getting on Voyager on Thursday!

[@bradmattocks7112]

Another very cool video! Thanks for sharing! Have you looked/considered instead of packing all that heavy stuff in your checked bag to grab it at the duty free in JFK before you go international? Not only might you save a little but it will reduce the weight of your checked bag if it’s items you can grab from duty free? Just a thought!

[@jbauth]

pmg that’s such a smart idea.. why haven’t I thought of that 🤔

[@janh5199]

I think Coco is messing with your flights so you get to stay home longer. You seem so composed when dealing with those issues. I would have been a mess. How were your new boots? Are they breaking in ok?

[@sherrjo]

It was great to meet you at the cafe promenade. Sorry I was a bit star struck 😅 I didn't expect to see you at all. My wife was so jealous. 😅 will you be doing the same show as the current skaters as the show was amazing the best I've seen on Royal? Just watched the rest now and see you will be it's a great show.

[@chiaricharlie6608]

I love the yelling goat! So good.

[@Destination_Fun]

Looking forward to your new adventure!!!

[@SamDybing]

Can’t wait to see your upcoming videos. Have a great time, also when does your boyfriend join the contract or is he already there? Hope you’re well! Cheers to a new journey!

[@CodeDeb]

Is that the Amex Platinum (for the lounge access)?

[@carlim6356]

Always an adventure on travel day!

[@Kbydfrsghusy]

Your dad is the funniest

[@robertkrenn4303]

Hey Jordan,I have custom skates from Harlick.Ive had them for years and there fantastic investment.I use to skate a lot but now older and skate weekly.I love your pod cast and your skating take care.Good luck with install

[@livinglife0826]

Went to the ice show on Freedom of the Seas last night and thought of you. 😊

[@amygress4590]

Love your videos. Who gets your cabin when you move into the other one?

[@brentpayne4215]

Nice royal Caribbean 365

[@cassiewardlow924]

We were supposed to be on explore in October for our honeymoon but had to cancel! So sad i missed you!

[@VitaminVProductions]

No way, just disembarked the same morning you arrived, would of been great to see you in the show

[@haileyhudson4157]

Glad you made it!

[@mrsb-p]

I know you've been asked this a million times but I can't find the answer! What travel credit card do you use that gets you into the airport lounges?

[@brentpayne4215]

The explore of the seas

[@brentpayne4215]

Going to Italy

[@christophercummins2869]

Your dad is becoming the star of the vlogs.

What a crazy road to the ship!

[@PeruvianClaudiaNV]

[@colleenraymond1427]

Are you going to be on the Explore when it’s in New England for the fall foliage cruises? I’m going on my honeymoon October 30 on the explore and I’d love to see you perform!

[@jbauth]

I’ll be on explorer until march :)

[@kagomegrrl21]

I’m guessing you have American Express they have great perks such as lounges

[@Olbear040]

Travel Day! My favorite day!
