Carnival Horizon 2018 Western - Part 1: Back-To-Back Day, Pool, Wok, Steakhouse, IMAX - ParoDeeJay

[@tattooedauntie1269]

Thank you for showing us the process, doing a back to back in October with MSC but it gives you an idea what’s it like!

[@parodeejay]

We really got into some B2B cruising there at the end of last year and first of this year, ha ha... I'm sure the customs process will be the same, but it may be the actual procedure on the ship that's different. It's fun though!! :D

hey kids welcome to Back To Back Shenanigans Rock on

[@adavan3095]

Such fun. Pool to yourselves, whats that like 😱. Steakhouse looks fantastic. Nice presentation of dessert. Jay, you truly look good in solid-color shirts.

[@parodeejay]

We had fun being all alone in the fresh pools, ha ha... We had to pick that steakhouse dessert just for the presentation that we had seen in other videos, but it wasn't an overly tasty option. Fun though!! :D

[@102810281028nl]

Cant wait to see Sea day ports etc. Have fun again.

[@parodeejay]

Thankee! We always have the most fun, ha ha... :D

@ 18:42 I believe that drone was Justin hirsch and that’s the name of his channel.

[@allagametome4588]

I love tar tar and carpaccio as well.

[@tamimiddleton472]

I had the same appetizer and was so happy it was delicious! We did the table art too! Felt the same as you guys!

[@younglady2789]

Hi there Ms Dee and Mr Jay, glad you liked your experience doing a b2b cruise. Must have been nice to be first in a freshly cleaned pool. Thanks for sharing

[@parodeejay]

We had a blast! Totally worth it being the first people in the pool and hot tub, ha ha... :D

[@DaveBrandysExcursionsTravel]

A B2B is on the to do list for us! The Remedy and the Cucumber Sunrise is our normal drinks at the Alchemy. And the Steakhouse is amazing! We did the Steakhouse for the first time on the Miracle and was so well worth it.

[@parodeejay]

Nice, those seem to be the two Alchemy drinks that we gravitate to... woohoo!! :D

[@denised1704]

I totally blame you guys and Josh Hokum. We just booked a 6 night cruise on the Horizon for Nov 2020! If it wasn’t for your vlogs we’d still be sailing with “the mouse!” Can’t wait to try new stuff and things!

[@parodeejay]

Woohoo, come over to the dark side, ha ha... all the things and stuff!! :D

[@MaudePoison]

Amazing vlog as always. I bingewatch you guys at work 😊 It helps my time go by faster and I'm more productive!

[@parodeejay]

Thankee! Glad to keep you company at work, ha ha... :D

[@evon3704]

You guys are so entertaining! Have been binge watching your videos! Going on a cruise in a few months and love seeing you guys enjoy yourselves

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! Glad to have you cruising along digitally until yours gets here. Woohoo!! :D

[@willcooper6980]

Thanks for educating us on the B2B process, and how to best use the time. I'll never get to do it, but interesting to see.

[@parodeejay]

The process was a little longer then we expected, but it was still cool to not have to pack up our stuff. And we did get a little time in the fresh pools and hot tubs, ha ha... :D

[@lacytesterman8869]

Is it just me, I love the music they play all around the the ship! I heard fleetwood mac and geeked out,what’s sad is that’s my parents music I’m only 35 but I love it!

[@parodeejay]

I'm always jamming out to the music around the ship, no matter what era it's from, ha ha... woohoo!! :D

[@briank7361]

Great spin

[@AdventuresofDavidandAaron]

We would love to do a b 2 b someday. Steakhouse dessert presentation looked amazing. Thanks for sharing sincerely, Adventures of David and Aaron⚓🚢🌴

[@WickedWonder1979]

This was so worth the wait! The B to B process looks like it could use some tweaks! The Mongolian food looked delish, now I'm hungry! Hope you had a good NYE!

[@parodeejay]

Woohoo, we're back, ha ha... we always try to hit up the wok on the "first" day, since it seems to be less crowded. Good times!!

[@Indoorsy_Dog_Person]

Lots of firsts on this video! Nice! We'll be on the Horizon in November.

[@parodeejay]

Woohoo! It'll be here before you know it, ha ha... :D

[@ShannonMoody]

Yes!! That steak house dinner looked ahhmazing!!!

[@parodeejay]

We enjoyed ourselves overall at the steakhouse, though we kept getting the side-eye from other tables when we got too loud, ha ha... can't take us anywhere civilized... :P

[@ShannonMoody]

@@parodeejay Lol!!! I bet!!!

[@lleopard6595]

I was so sad the horizon vlogs were gonna be over, totally forgot it was a B2B! Happy New Year, can't wait to see your adventures in 2019

[@parodeejay]

Whoop whoop, more Horizon excitement, ha ha... :P Happy New Year!!

[@leniceshay]

you guys made my day!

[@parodeejay]

Woohoo, thanks for joining the second leg of our Horizon adventures... :P

[@milergator]

Had both of those drinks at Alchemy and I really like the remedy.

[@parodeejay]

That's a good one, heck yeah!! When we were on the Liberty, we asked the bartender to make us a surprise drink, and that ended up being awesome too... though I guess you can't really order it and we can probably never get it again because we weren't sure what all went into it, hah... :D

[@crisco9645]

GOOD GOSH that steak looked AWE!!!!

[@parodeejay]

They had some mighty fine meat in there, but the steakhouse was a little more civilized than we were used to, ha ha... we kept getting the side-eye from other tables when we got too loud, ha ha... can't take us anywhere nice... :P

[@katf6178]

I live for r n r by the pool oh yes cocktails and pool time and have a inside Havana room on deck 5 all booked and paid for only 312 more days lol Im so trying all that brunch type foods ty guys Ive watched the first half of the b2b your killing me laughing

[@parodeejay]

We loved that new brunch menu on the Horizon! I'm wondering if it will eventually roll out to other ships. Hope so... those burgers are pretty great!! :D

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

OMG..we loved that dessert on our last trip to the Steakhouse!!! Great video guys!!! Happy New Year!!!

[@parodeejay]

We just had to order that, for presentation sake only, hah! A couple of folks at the table wanted cheesecake, but they had to give that up for the artwork!! :P Happy new year!!

Thank you guys so much for sharing. Very informative video and awesome editing. Loyal followers here. We’re from NC as well but live in MD now. Hope to cruise with you guys in the future.

[@parodeejay]

That's awesome! Thanks so much for joining our craziness... maybe our schedules will align in the future!! :D

[@tiffanypollock6582]

Love the cruise vlogs! Will y’all be doing an update about which cruises y’all are taking in 2019? Thank you!

[@parodeejay]

Thankee! We haven't made an updated official 2019 cruise video yet, but we probably should, ha ha... If you check out the last 5 minutes or so of our 1/6 livestream, we popped our future cruise list up on screen (we had talked about it at some point earlier in the stream, but put it back up at the end for people to read again). Other than the ShipMate app, that's about the only place we have it listed for now. :D

[@tod4865]

I just want to say I enjoy your videos and Happy New Year

The Fantastic 4 again Rock on

[@kmak5345]

Hello jay and Dee , am still confused if done all the paperwork and been on ship before , why does it take an hour , Or even why do you need to leave ship at all , I do know that this question is not actually for you but for the cruise line Am hoping they may see this and think about alternative options, Have heard there is a sinister plot to bring fish on board and release in the pool to keep Dee happy while you are at the bar drinking Long Island iced teas 😇

[@parodeejay]

I guess it's more of a US Customs question... that's all we had to actually get off the ship for, was to stand in a little line and flash our passports, then we got right back on the ship. I think most of the overall hour was waiting for everyone else to completely clear off the ship (our group was required to be the last ones off), and then waiting for customs to clear out a little so we could get an agent assigned to us. It was still a cool experience though!!

[@tod2992]

Jay. The reason you are required to disembark for CBP to do a face check to the passport The first voyage is now over. The ships handlers are now required to transmit all the passengers to CBP for the next trip/voyage. Even though your same information is transmitted to CBP a face check is required to verify that it is indeed you holding that passport and not somebody else. Ect etc..

[@Robert-VandenAkker]

I’m going on this cruise in a month

[@parodeejay]

That's awesome! Have a great cruise!! :D

[@joycereininger7463]

Carl and I did a b2b on the Vista in September, and we also looked forward to having the ship before before everyone else got on the ship. NOT! So disappointed ☹️.

[@parodeejay]

Yeeeah, when we first heard about it, it sounded like you just walk right off, wave your passport, get right back on, and have the whole place to yourself for a little while, ha ha... nooooot quite... it was still a fun experience though, and we still got in some pool time!! :D

[@lucasparker4548]

Question about the back to back, if you have a back to back booked but in two different staterooms, what do you do with your luggage? Just curious because I’m looking into doing a back to back soon. Love the videos as always!!

[@parodeejay]

If you don't end up with the same cabin, you pack everything up just as if you're getting off the cruise, then your steward is supposed to help you get your things moved from one cabin to the other. We've always lucked out and been able to find the same cabin on our B2Bs so we haven't personally had to do that just yet.

[@scottscaneh]

Squeegie machine aka DRYBONI (dry as a bone) Zamboni is used for ice rinks Dryboni is for water........ swim swam swum Miami is the best sail away port in Florida

[@parodeejay]

Dryboni?! Is that a thing... that's awesome... :D

[@scottscaneh]

@@parodeejay It is I supplied a lot of material for this prototype Dryboni(coined by me not the real name but owners loved the concept name was hoping for royalties)....A company near me made a prototype that was like a dump truck it dried and swept a racetrack when it rained to make the delay of racing faster. Nascar liked the idea and machine but the price tag was too much is what the result was but it was very cool machine

[@jg248]

Another great one. Thanks. Do they add a gratuity to the cost of the steakhouse?

[@parodeejay]

Thankee!! Gratuity is included in the rate they give... I think ours was $35/pp even though I thought they'd increased it recently.

[@mzkbell]

Hello, on the back to back cruise were yall able to keep the same cabin? Did you have to book both cruise far in advance to book a back to back cruise? I want to do that one day!

[@parodeejay]

We did have the same cabin, and didn't even have to pack up. We normally book a year to year-and-a-half ahead of time, so it's usually not a problem to find the same one. Our travelmates booked later and had to switch cabins between cruises, but they said it wasn't a big deal. The stewards are very helpful during the whole process!

[@KMan-ye2kp]

I'm a new subscriber and I'm binge watching your Horizon videos. Love them! What camera are you using for the vlog? Also, do you use the same camera for wet and dry conditions? The video is clear and great quality.

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! Our main vlogging camera is a Canon G7X Mark II, and the underwater is a GoPro Hero 5 Black which is waterproof without a case. Love them both!! :D

[@betsybaldwin4342]

You Kids really and Truely Mae my day Sunny And Bright

[@pamelawiggins9131]

Were those all back-to-backers walking back onto the ship with you guys? How many were there?

[@parodeejay]

Yes indeed, you do the B2B debark and re-bark (hey, I made up a new word, ha ha...) as a group. I think there were 30 or 40 of us, if my brain remembers correctly.

[@Jake-vn9bp]

What ship were u on at the beginning?

[@parodeejay]

Carnival Horizon, back to back. Two cruises on the same ship, but we did two different itineraries.

[@thedaviszone5187]

In the Steakhouse What was your appitezer? Or entree? I couldn't figure out what that was on your plate because it didn't look like a steak and I was just curious. Thank you (Jay's)

[@parodeejay]

Haaah, probably my appetizer... I think we recapped it at the end of the video, but I had the bone marrow & steak tartare as an app. Figured I would try the weirdest thing (to me anyway) on the menu! :D

[@thedaviszone5187]

@@parodeejay oh! I've never heard of that but I don't think I would have the nerve to try it after I seen it. It just didn't look appetizing to me LOL! And just the name bone marrow for a meal I just couldn't do it!

[@edwardmunster7269]

What ship do you like best ???

[@parodeejay]

Ah, I replied to your same question on the Ecstacy Part 8 video... hah... I'll plop the answer again here... :P Favorite ships so far, we'd probably say Pride, Breeze, Horizon, Magic, Conquest as a top five.

[@ZeusKingOfGods1]

How long does your shirt take to dry when you get out of pool ?

[@parodeejay]

It's just a standard cotton tee, so it takes a little while... I'm still looking into some rashguards and faster options, haaah... :D
