VLOG: Week in the Life of a Cruise Ship Singer

[@meganmkinney]

Was going to say that the jumpsuit was so cute and then was laughing so hard by the the bra pad story! I appreciate that you share the hard things too. I heard something today that hit: "you don't have to prove--just improve" to say you were hired for a reason and the only person to be competitive with should be yesterday you. Cheers!

[@krista.jocelyn]

Ah I love that so much!! Especially has a performer. Gonna put that in my notes! 🩷

[@wanderlustalley]

Yoooo if you guys are staying in Fort Lauderdale, I literally went to Living Green every turn around day. Bomb wifi 💣, yummy food & walkable if that’s your vibe ☺️

[@krista.jocelyn]

That is exactly our vibe!! Haha will definitely check it out next turnaround! Thanks for the rec! 🤗♥️

[@gimmeagorilla]

Beautiful sentiments regarding positivity and self image. It helped to hear that today, thank you.❤

[@allenbateman3518]

Great video as always. Do NOT doubt yourself... I know, easier said than done. But, once you do it, then it happens more often. You keep doing you, doing what you are doing.. All of your followers are behind you! We all love ya!

[@krista.jocelyn]

[@agentsniffles]

I was on freedom in March '24 and did not regret my time aboard, glad I went to see "once upon a time" and loved it!

[@thomaspignetti1274]

Hey there! I just wanted to say that I was on the Freedom for your opening week and the shows were just fantastic. I only wish that I knew about your channel before the trip, but better late than never! Stay positive. My wife and I are Diamond Plus on Royal and while we have cruised with other lines, we prefer Royal. It is the dedication and talent of performers like you, that keep us coming back. THANK YOU!

[@stephenmaher1029]

I saw that salsa sign and I was expecting you to have a pile of nachos but that bird rodeo was even better! Hope y’all are having fun🤗

[@RobertHansenRob]

That was such a great vlog. Love the way you tell stories of the day. Lol

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you so much! 🩷

KRISTA! YOUR SKIN IS GLOWING!!!

[@krista.jocelyn]

Awhh thank you so much!! 🥹🥹 the best compliment I could ever get!! Haha

[@sharonwalters2190]

What a fun vlog! You do have a fun cast! Hilarious about the jumpsuit incident LOL You got where you are at because of your hard work, you auditioned and they believed in you.. you got this!

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you for the kind words 🥹

[@nattienell]

You give such good advice-I do feel we are our on worst critics! And you have such a beautiful singing voice! I love watching your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@krista.jocelyn]

Awh thank you so much! 🥲

[@resiliencedoctor]

I 💯relate to what you said about imposter syndrome. It’s so hard to work through. What you said about ‘someone believed in me so I can too’ really resonates and that’s what I have to tell myself too. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey. Sending ❤

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you for watching! Definitely something I have to remind myself of often! 🩷

[@salliestewart4713]

Wonderful words to live by❤

[@Trekkyygirl]

Oh everything you’re doing looks great. And I mean by that, that I think you’re both pacing yourselves more this contract? And it shows very positively :). Well done and keep it going :)

[@dlschofs]

Charlieeeeeee Drill one of the best!!! Missing pad is crazy!! 😂😂

[@krista.jocelyn]

Hahaha it takes forever though! And I know 😅😅

[@katecaselynn]

Needed the self-confidence chat 🥺

[@krista.jocelyn]

Same! I need to rewatch and remind myself daily!! 💗

[@tokyorosa]

LOL at your bra pad story! Good vlog this week! :D

[@krista.jocelyn]

Hahahah I’m still wondering where it might have gone missing 😅

[@LordToogood]

Hey Krista, everyone goes through low points, you are a tallented singer and dancer, I couldn't do what you do, you earnt that contract based on your skills, enjoy the adventure.

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you so much!🩷

[@901BluesGuy]

Just got off the August 18-25 sailing on Freedom. Was hoping to meet you but didn't see you walking around the ship. Loved the productions shows though - you two are so very talented!

[@mollymccann5043]

I love that you're wearing bright pink crocs for sound check. Mine are bright yellow so if they float away in the water you can find them!

[@mollymccann5043]

and now I'm laughing HARD at the escapee bra padding!

[@krista.jocelyn]

Hahaha I slightly regret getting the pink ones I need a more neutral color 😅

[@MiaFontaine-rc5kx]

@@krista.jocelynI think your pink ones are iconic

[@krista.jocelyn]

@@MiaFontaine-rc5kx hehe thanks 💗

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

@@krista.jocelynmine are one of the only pink things I own and I love them. Make that statement. ❤

[@hopeemond2840]

Enjoying your behind the scenes, everyday life as a cruise ship performer videos a lot!🥰👍. It’s always a pleasure to watch and listen to you. Wonder if one of these days, you can do a clip on your beauty and makeup routine which always seem flawless and flattering🤔

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you so much for watching! I can definitely add some of that into an upcoming vlog! 🤗

[@rebeccarawlings1757]

Fun videos! What is the pink flowered thing on the wall of your cabin? Just curious.

[@krista.jocelyn]

It’s a wallpaper. It was here when we moved in and we kept it 🤷🏻‍♀️ haha

[@NancyLiedel]

A shark is decorative now! I'm laughing.

[@salliestewart4713]

I'm bad at reading but do like audiobook while walking. I too just finished funny story and liked it too.😊

[@krista.jocelyn]

It’s such a cute book!

[@jacoblicastro5792]

Me and Olivia appearing behind u in sending me HAHA

[@krista.jocelyn]

Hahahaha I’m so glad I was filming that lol

[@diabeticnomad]

That opening though 😂 Did you see @jbauth at coco cay? I’d hate to see what the wings look like after see backstage? Wardrobe malfunction 😂 Imposter syndrome is real! What you said is the most perfect thing to say too 💜

[@krista.jocelyn]

No we don't usually dock together in Coco Cay! And it is a messss! hah

[@diabeticnomad]

Well happened to be this day I can only imagine the mess of ppl and mo thanks idk how big that island is but prop not big enough for me

[@IndieMacUser]

Interesting stage layout…well done for not falling into the pit

[@krista.jocelyn]

Hahah I try! 😅

[@mikkovaltonenmusic5058]

How is life for a showband musician on Royal? From what I see here it looks pretty nice but I've heard the salaries are offensively low. I've done two contracts on NCL as a showband drummer and I think it's time to switch companies. Have you talked to anyone in the band? What do they think? A jazz jam sesh in the crew bar seems pretty awesome :D Thanks in advance and all the best!

[@search.continues]

Sebastian🎷!

[@ElsaLoui]

I laughed out loud when you said the flavor of your liquid IV

[@tostronenergy3302]

I like the swing of the saxophonist.

[@leeorplotkin3241]

You are wonderful ❤ Is this for the week of Aug. 11th?

[@krista.jocelyn]

Thank you! and yes it was!

[@StillPooh62]

Do different lines have different rules about what kind of appliances you can have in your cabin? I was surprised to see you making coffee.

[@katelynlisowski5353]

Yes! I work for AIDA and we can't have any appliances like that, and we also don't get mini fridges! But maybe that's an Italian law? Because our ship sails under the Italian flag

[@katelynlisowski5353]

Ive always wondered: Who works on Coco Cay? Is it locals or only ship crew or a mix of both?? Thanks for the awesome content! ❤

[@krista.jocelyn]

It’s a mix of both! 🤗

[@wendybrown500]

What is your name on Goodreads? I can’t seem to find you there. Thanks!!!

[@krista.jocelyn]

I think it’s just Krista Jocelyn? 🤔

[@wendybrown500]

@@krista.jocelyn tried that last time, but it didn’t work. It worked this time. Must’ve been operator error. Thank you!

[@salliestewart4713]

Can you use pool?

[@krista.jocelyn]

If there are less than 5 guests in the pool we can but that never happens haha

[@salliestewart4713]

@krista.jocelyn that's crazy. It should be yours on turn around day at least. Especially in th2 Florida and carribean 🥵

[@elizabeththompson1525]

How many shows do you have in a 7 day cruise? Are you required to workout as a singer?

[@krista.jocelyn]

We have 2 nights of production shows and we do them twice in a night and then we have the welcome and farewell shows! And yes!

[@elizabeththompson1525]

@@krista.jocelyn so like 6 shows?!! Do you have a lot of free time? Seems like it would be so fun!!!

[@krista.jocelyn]

@@elizabeththompson1525 technically 8 since we do welcome and farewell twice! We do have a decent amount of free time to get off the ship and explore for sure!

[@scottshrader5872]

You Pad story was funny

[@army.girl2013]

Is there any height requirement??

[@CheeseMeme985]

Isnt it pronounced coco "key" or have I always thought wrong? thanks

[@krista.jocelyn]

I’ve always heard it as Cay 🤔

[@alkruzins1168]

[@salliestewart4713]

How about a crew intro for a video

[@markwhitesides]

The way your boyfriend mocks you for vlogging is so sad - you deserve better

[@krista.jocelyn]

If we can’t make fun of each other then I don’t want it lol. He’s my biggest supporter and has helped me so much with my channel! ❤️
