[@jbauth]

hiya loves!! thanks so much for watching today’s video... if there’s any topics I haven’t covered about ship life that you want to know more about let me know! ✨⭐️

Where did you get that top (or dress)? Love the pattern.

[@Tny.1]

Does your video uploads usually take up the whole allotted time for wifi?

[@talon1091]

Hey thanks man! Headed to my first contract and I've been watching your videos to prepare, but I just caught this one with a few days to go before boarding. You're the best, enjoy Voyager!!!

[@RodaRoseRo]

Good to know! Thinking about starting a career on a ship

[@aaahlixxxx]

I am signing on November 20th on Odyssey of the Seas! Thanks for the video!

I was cabin crew for B.A after I left shows, and the coffee on aircraft is disgusting too! Lol 😂 I never drink coffee on aircraft. I always have tea 😁☕

[@jbauth]

oh gosh... i didn't realize decent coffee was that hard to make😂 tea is always a safe way to go

[@PianoconGuido]

Hey Jordan! Thanks for the information. Sorry if this is a silly question, but I was wondering how do you get hot water for the coffee press without leaving the cabin? Are kettles allowed on cabin? I will be working as a musician on board next month and I can't live without out coffee haha. Thanks for your videos!

I'll be joining Icon soon. My question is regarding hair blower and hair straightener, are the sockets 110 or 220 volts? Coz i really dont have an idea, i might bring a 220v and It'll just be a waste to bring ot if i cant use it. Please help!

[@jow.2450]

Where were you allowed to go as an employee? You mentioned the track. Is the track for employees as well?

[@katdenning6535]

Binge watching now. The passenger coffee and creamer is pretty bad too. I always bring my own coffee and creamer on board. 10-12 hour days aren’t bad IF you get time off in between. I worked a camp counseling job where I worked almost all day every day and night. We had a strange break schedule but it’s a lot like cruise staff where you make amazing. You got off duty one 24 hour break a week, and three 2 hour breaks a day. Every 2 weeks you got a weekend off. It was hard work and a lot of hours, but I made great memories and decent money. 10-12 hour days without sufficient breaks/days off would wear on you though.

Your dress is so cute! Where is it from?

[@phykin]

Is the coffee thing maritime industry wide? I don't drink it but I'm in the Navy at it's awful for those who drink it haha

[@jbauth]

I can't remember what brand of coffee it was, but at least we're all on the same page here 😂

[@rosendorodrigues2328]

Do you like ship life or would you prefer working on land

[@nancyrobinson2646]

Do you have to pay for all of your food as well or is that supplied/discounted for people employed on the ship?

[@jbauth]

food is included, specialty’s/drinks we get crew discount :)

[@MasonReece]

Wait there’s no WiFi on board??? On a laptop???

[@EclecticElegance13]

I have HORRIFIC motion sickness and would never make it but you have me ready to go sign up to work on a ship 😂 it just seems like such a cool experience. One of my best friends is a dancer for carnival and has been for like 6+ years now and she loves it

[@jbauth]

EmpireOnEighteenth surprisingly, you hardly feel the ship moving! but that’s amazing, I always get excited hearing about other people who also work for a cruise :)

[@passrider82]

How long is a contract? Does the length vary? Do you always get assigned to the same geographic area?

[@jbauth]

yes the length usually varies and can be different/similar itinerary ! just depends honestly in the ship and season
