MY LAST DAY ONBOARD: packing, sign-off prep, saying goodbye, cleaning the cabin, more

[@jbauth]

are you a last minute packer or plan-ahead packer?

[@dexydexa]

Plan-ahead haha...

[@keishlaspivey6157]

Plan ahead 🌺🧡

[@kellyn4389]

Plan ahead

[@lorrajulian8622]

I always think I have plenty of time the evening prior (as I have my stuff planned out "in my head") but then it takes me WAY longer than anticipated!

[@juanitafurtado8805]

Multiple packing lists weeks in advance and packing starts 2 weeks ahead. Lots of "just in case" stuff

[@tappergal]

I watched this whole contract from start to finish. It seems like it flew by for me, and I’m sure it must have for you too. Enjoy your month off, and I can’t wait for your next contract. Thank you for taking us along this adventure Jordan!

[@stephanietill3983]

Jordan! Recently discovered your page and you're so talented! I used to figure skate throughout my entire childhood / early adulthood but had to stop when I reached high school; to this day one of my biggest regrets that I did not just push through and keep going! Your passion and drive for the sport is honestly inspiring me to put my skates back on and get back out there ; all the best and good luck in your next adventure! Can't wait to follow along with you! :) love from Toronto, Canada!

[@jbauth]

sending all the love back to you neighbor! ♥️ you made my day reading this, I hope you get back on the ice :)

[@traceybeaty4494]

@@jbauth will you ever be going back on board the ship 🚢 loved watching your videos on KZbin here

[@danidancerdreis]

I’m trying to follow in her footsteps 😂

[@lorrajulian8622]

No one cries alone in my presence! I feel like I've finished the first volume of an incredible book set I have found. Happening to find you just as you signed on, so fun to watch your entire contract! Looking forward to seeing your home videos and sweet Coco! (PS - you know better than to walk the upper deck without a ponytail! LOL)

[@jbauth]

this is the BEST compliment, Adventure may have been a full series but not to worry.. so many more to come! ♥️ and you're so right about jogging track, I totally set myself up for that LOL

[@georgeorwell4931]

Sad for goodbyes, but new beginnings, new mysteries, and experiences! Have fun.

[@jbauth]

thanks george :)

[@haroldanderson7327]

Greetings Jordan, Watching you pack and all of the Sign off procedures remind me of my many deployments in the Military, the last day is always a blur of a thousand and one things to do before departure. And before you know it you’re on the plane heading home. I wish you well with your next contract, enjoy your time off with your family.

[@jbauth]

thank you for your service!

[@danidancerdreis]

I have a sign on video but sign off is fast approaching kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioKUo4l8n7h-ZpY

[@NatAnjGo]

Hi Jordan! Not sure if you'll ever read this but I'm also a 1997 born young woman trying to figure out what it means to be a "20 something" in this world. We lead very different lives (I'm a graduate student in a healthcare profession) but it is SO cool to watch these videos to get a glimpse of how other people are doing this funny thing called life. I've watched your entire contract beginning to end and your attitude and honesty of the entire experience is something to be applauded. I can't wait till your next contract and I'm so excited it will be based out of Europe! All the best from southern California ♡

[@RocklandPaul]

Jordan, thanks for all the cool videos from your contract. It’s amazing what crew members do to make passengers like me enjoy our vacations so much. Safe trip home, and hopefully you enjoy your vacation too. See you on Voyager of the Seas.

[@joanclare9788]

I was on one of the first Adventure of the Seas cruises back post covid. It has been such a pleasure seeing you on KZbin and then watching you live. I did see you in the main dining room one night with your girls but I would never have disrupted you to say hello. I wish you were going on Wonder of the Seas next . Im heading to Barcelona in June. Can’t wait to see you on your next “Adventure”. Thank you for bringing an extra sparkle to my days

[@anneoestreicher7333]

I discovered your channel when you were in quarantine for this contract and have really enjoyed following you. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@jbauth]

thanks for being here all these months :)

[@danidancerdreis]

Also trying to update people about life at sea with my new series on my channel! Thanks for the inspiration

[@Chelseatimandi]

I’ve been watching you since Allure and here you are going home from your second contract and soon to be on voyager!! I’m so proud of you❤️❤️

[@dr.z.8964]

Look forward to watching the next stop on your journey. Be well Jordan!

[@knotsofast240]

I think it would be amazing to see you and your mom skate together on your time off!!

[@jbauth]

I'll try to convince her to film with me hahah

[@janetbeans6472]

Back into the coldness of Buffalo but also back into the arms of your loving family. Enjoy your time off, Jordan. 😊

[@jbauth]

thank you so much 😇

[@jessicahall2248]

I love watching you pack your stuff up, it feels therapeutic watching you - would love to see another video if you packing for your next contract ❤️❤️

[@jeffthanson]

Well done - this episode reminds me of all the clothes that arrived for you from vendors during your contract - now I bet you are feeling it. Thanks for sharing!

[@jbauth]

ahahahaha right! too many clothes for a tiny closet😂

[@keishlaspivey6157]

I thought about that too, her packing the new awesome clothes she purchased. 👀😀

[@jonnyboy7885]

So sad to see you leave this ship, I've watched every video since your initial quarantine...lots of memories im sure...what an amazing experience and can't wait to see what is next! That is why I always vlog all my trips and experiences too, mostly Disney for me and my kids,...its always great to rewatch and relive the great memories😀

[@bobgrewe988]

Adventure is a beautiful ship. Enjoy your little vacation and good luck enduring the cold Buffalo winter. Good luck on the Voyager, she is also a nice ship.

[@joannelaflamme2360]

NOT a planner and always procrastinate when it comes to packing. Recently purchased compression packing cubes, and they get me a little more motivated to see how much I can cram into my suitcase. Moving day feels 10 times worse than packing day for me, because the first 12 years of married life, we were military. In the next 4 weeks we are packing up our little home and hitting the road full time. It’s time for our retirement adventures to begin…so now less is REALLY more for us! Part of our European trip this year includes 63 nights on various Royal Caribbean ships…see you in May Jordan!

[@jbauth]

omggg I can't even imagine moving day! so much stuff to pack up! enjoy your retirement :) Can't wait to see you in May!

[@micheleg3501]

Hope you made it safely through the blizzard Jordan! I’m sure you’re having a great time at home. Can’t wait for your Voyager adventures! Sending you warm breezes from Miami!🌴🌞⛸🏖🐶♥️

[@jbauth]

luckily I just missed it! thanks so much, I love Miami!!

[@daryaredekop8328]

Sign off is always bitter sweet it always hits me on the plane ✈️ enjoy your time at home and before you know it you’ll be back at sea

[@danidancerdreis]

Honestly your channel is so inspiring! I’ve been vlogging my whole contract because of you!!! It’s a great way to share and to document the mems! Thx for the inspiration and for the insight before I started my first contract!!!!!

[@lesleynyborg2093]

I cried for you leaving your cast! You flew home through my home airport, Washington Dulles. Have a great vacation and that puppy is adorable!!!

Safe travels and a restful break to you and the cast! Can't wait to see your new videos onboard Voyager!

[@shareea202]

I'm a last minute packer because...I'm a list maker! I'd be lost otherwise. I started following you when I came across one of your vlogs while preparing for my family trip on Adventure of the Seas. I even shared them with my family so, they could get a first-hand orientation of the ship. Your cast member perspective has been so refreshing! Even though you're transitioning to a new ship contract, I'll for sure continue to follow along.

[@Luckyduck82180]

I just discovered your channel towards the end of your contract, but I am super excited to follow your next one from the start. Enjoy your time off, you deserve it!

[@annasharon3114]

your room is about the size of my freshman dorm room in college (although I did have the luxury of a window:). I became BEST friends with my roommate the year we lived in that tiny room, and it was so sad to leave. This vlog honestly gave me nostalgic moving out of college vibes :)

IT was an amazing cruise and you all did such as great job in the show. I look forward to watching you perform again in the future. Best of luck to you and the cast. And I'm a plan-ahead packer LOL and packed for my week-long Adventure cruise in a carry-on.

Welcome back to the 716! Stay warm and enjoy your time with your family and friends before your next contract begins. I am a pre-packer and planner through and through.

thanks Amy! :) I love to pack ahead of time for trips, however signing off I love to do everything the day before!

Your suitcase once everything was packed was SO satisfying lol

You can tell you’re a smart traveler…rolling your clothes👏🏻👏🏻 enjoy your time at home!

[@Kathieartcraftanddestash]

Following your channel newbie here but you have actually made me reconsider cruising again, It just seemed like every one we took was a repeat of the one before but you have shown some things I have never seen on a cruise ship. Ice skating is one of them. They should just hire you as a publicist you do a great job of making people want to take a cruise.

[@jbauth]

It would be a dream to work for the company as a publicist or something in social media down the road! hope you take a cruise soon :)

you should have a folding duffle bag for the extras you buy and want to take home while on the boat so u have that extra bag to pack into and can check on a plane

Got the chance to see your last show on the Adventure last week. Was a great show. You could tell the cast was really close. It was pretty cool. I think it was Tornado Tanaya's last cruise too. Seemed like a lot of people were getting off in Galveston.

Do you have any hints or tips on saving money. Great information on your channel. Keep up the good work. Love and light Glenn and Sarah x

So when packing, where do you put your luggage when you move in? Under the bed? If so, what's the biggest size luggage can you fit?

Hey Jordan, it's been great watching your journey. You are an outstanding young person. A question I've been meaning to ask: Have you skated out on Lake Eire? Looking forward to your future adventures.

A "Like" button is not enough for this video - we need a "Love" button (maybe a "Love to the Moon and Back" button). I started following you when you first boarded Adventure and had the pleasure of meeting you and your boyfriend on my August 21-28 sailing (he was actually the first crew member I met on embarkation day). I assume you are home now and adjusting to the anti-tropics of Buffalo but wish you the best and hope to have the pleasure of sailing with you again one day!
