Thanks for sharing your experience. Always felt there was a thin wall between cruise staff and guests until I initiated a conversation with a very impressive guitarist in the gym that I remember from another ship. He told me he was covering for someone else this time during his “vacation” time. I could tell he was very happy that I remembered him during his previous cruise contract. Thanks for all the work you do.
So sad that 30 yrs later the mess food is still not great. I remember living on salad and fries for days on end. Eating off the ship literally saved me. Thanks for another great vlog.
I literally worked on Freedom of the sea's in 2016 for 2 years! This is bringing me back! It looks exactly the same! I used to fill my fridge once a week at publix with yogurt, cheese and other snacks and lived off of fridge snacks and the windjammer for dinner!!
Great video.....Even though the staff dining may not be the best....your food is cooked well, safe and nutritious and FREE. I hope you continue to work on ships. Coming along with you is a great adventure.
I used to work on Freedom (2014-15)!! I would take the raw broccoli from the salad bar and put it in a bowl of hot water, cover with a plate and then wait for my blanched broccoli! I'd also fill my pockets with hard boiled eggs for my late night snack.... but don't let the cabin inspectors know you've got thoseee lmao. We did drydock where it was tough to find anything but ramen cups during the 3am fire watch. Thanks for sharing your stories, really takes me back!!!
Gordon’s canned foods for 13 days on my Transatlantic cruise was like jail food! The only thing saved me was the salad bar and Indian vegetable food❤❤❤great post!
You didn't tell us you were a youtuber! And then I find you on UA-cam! I'm apart of the group from Colorado. I just sent your video to the rest of the group! I was the one behind the pillar sitting next to your boyfriend! HAHA This is crazy!!!
The plight of all hard working young people is getting food when you can, if you can. In the early part of my career, driving from one place to another it would be McDonalds quarter pounder with fries and drink. First chowed down the fries before they get cold then the burger and washed down with the drink. All while driving! Impressed you tried to keep up some sustenance but oh boy, some things never change. Very good video!
You are the very first person ever in the history of social media to resist calling Labadee an "Island" - Bravo .. its about time someone got it right - peninsula indeed!
I am a retired dancer (ballet). I could not have eaten most of the food on board. My digestive system would have most definitely rebelled. I give you all credit for having such strong stomachs. 👍🏻
I guess I assumed by the title of the video that you were saying that there were not enough healthy food options in the crew mess. That's clearly not the case because I saw a ton fruits and vegetables in the crew mess and even off the ship, but most of the things you were eating were not healthy at all. But hey, you're young, active, and have great metabolisms, so go for it!😃
Love you vlog! We just went on our 2nd cruise. We appreciate so much all of the staff . I have a question though about the bread. We were on harmony of seas for 7 nights and i couldnt find a single peice of reg sandwich bread lol they had delicious looking sandwich material but no soft bread. It wasnt a big deal. But i thought it was strange. I have a lot of stomach issues and can only eat a few different breads. So i just didnt eat the bread because i wasnt sure what kind it was. But it was all hard as a rock lol
After working on a cruise ship so long, do you still enjoy your job? And passengers how do you feel about passengers do you enjoy when you get smiles from the passengers after the hard work to entertain, is it still fun or rewarding. Last question how often have you personally experienced a bad passenger that maybe was rude or disrespectful if at all . Thank you for what you do and be sure to say to all your cast mates that you all are appreciated for what you do for all of us on our vacation
I do still enjoy the job! Getting to perform is such a blessing though I do miss home! and I love meeting guests!! To be honest I rarely have a bad interaction with guests but that’s probably because my job isn’t as guest facing. I’m sure guest services deals with a lot more of that!
Fun vlog Lots info Do u guys use protein powder shakes at all? My breakfast every day at home Great WJ is available but only after 8? Can you guest food options like pizza? Enjoy your last bit of contract Hope you and Robert have a great holiday season!
your crew mess options def remind me of my college dining hall situation and also the way you guys lining up for the patties reminded me sm of pretzel day in the office!! You should def try beef patties with coco bread the way they're meant to be eaten when you get the chance! And whenever you're in fort Lauderdale or Orlando and you have time you should try Golden Krust it's an amazing jamaican owned and operated franchise that specializes in beef patties (hence the name lol) and has a ton of other great jamaican dishes
Wow, what a lot of food but I get how the novelty wears off. I did think the 70's brown dinner was quite funny. Ummm those beef sausages look a bit dodgy ;)
Wow, that opening panoramic shot was fantastic, cutiepie! Edit: from 2:30 the synthetic milk, the coffee-flavoured milkshake you ordered, and the gay elf dude were enough to turn me away.

It’s always nice to see people around different ships! Thanks for watching 🤗

It’s really hit or miss. Some days are great and others are not lol. I live off of the rolls 😅
The guests eat like royalty though, they should feed you guys better! Food makes people happy

You will look back on this with fond memories....and tales for grandchildren...100 years from now.

Exactly! I am so grateful for it ♥️
Great video!! Glad you all get along so chill!! Good vibes!!! I love your outtro and how thankful you are....

Ahh yes you have to get creative!! Haha and that’s me with apples! 😅

I agree with you. Coffee ☕ for breakfast is my go too as well. Dont eat till lunch

I just discovered your channel, and your videos are so fun to watch! Very informative, engaging, and fun! You are a natural with the camera. 😊
Awh thank you so much! ♥️
🥔 It may seem like there is nothing new, but the everyday items like planning are interesting to us!
I came for the food and stayed for the...wigs! 😀 All the wigs are fascinating!!
Enjoying the Christmas show on Freedom
Very interesting. Stumbled on your channel. I like it.
Thank you! 🤗
You are the very first person ever in the history of social media to resist calling Labadee an "Island" - Bravo .. its about time someone got it right - peninsula indeed!
Hahaha I was confused but eventually got there! 😅
I am a retired dancer (ballet). I could not have eaten most of the food on board. My digestive system would have most definitely rebelled. I give you all credit for having such strong stomachs. 👍🏻
Thankfully I have a strong stomach but many in the cast do struggle to find something to eat!!
Krista! Will you make a video on if you’re ever scared on the ship? Like if it’s rocking too much or big waves, etc
Hahah yes! Should have filmed last night cause it was crazy 😅
i love your videos!!
Thank you so much! 🤗♥️

i hope i can be a cruise ship performer somedaay ❤❤
I'm from Colorado. Grew up in Longmont but moved to Aurora when i got married. Lived in Southeast Aurora until 2016.
Colorado is the best!!
I live in Longmont currently 😊
I was dying to see that breakfast sandwich though 😟

I find they mostly have rolls rather than regular sandwich bread! Not sure why haha

Lots info
Do u guys use protein powder shakes at all?
My breakfast every day at home
Great WJ is available but only after 8?
Can you guest food options like pizza?
Enjoy your last bit of contract
Hope you and Robert have a great holiday season!
We do sometimes or protein bars! And yes only after 8 unfortunately! 🫠
You eat a lot better than I did onboard ship when I was in The US Navy.
It is a good thing you are young and active. The show food isn't very healthy.
What makeup are you wearing while talking about your team members from Denver? Looks beautiful!
I'm not sure what part this is but my foundation is either Derma blend or Too Faced!
What brand of backpack/purse are you wearing? I absolutely love it!!!!
It’s from target!

I peeped that papadam haha
So gooood! Haha
The crew food is better than what I get here.
Great video :-)
Thank you!!🤗
Interesting to see that they let staff members share with their boyfriend/partners. I always thought that this was a no no.
You have to show documentation like bills, a lease or something to “prove” you’re a couple!
It would be very hard for me to eat at the mess regularly because I am super picky!
It’s tough even if you aren’t picky! Haha
Wow, what a lot of food but I get how the novelty wears off. I did think the 70's brown dinner was quite funny. Ummm those beef sausages look a bit dodgy ;)
My dinner is brown far too often haha and they are so good!!!

Johnny rockets is specially dining ?
Only because it’s an additional charge!
@ sorry I wasn’t being rude. I hope I didn’t come off as disrespectful. Love your video.
@ not at all 🤗
Where in Denver?
Colorado
Can you get in truoble if your sea sick?
Noo not trouble. But it sucks! Haha
😆
It’s absolutely crazy to me, that the musicians also have to work other things.
Not really related question: are you performing Smile during the Welcome aboard show just as on the Enchantment?
Yes!
all this time, and nobody has told you yet?
Jesus ppl in the comments has got a lot of opinions on your food. Hope you are well reharsed in not giving a fuck.
I’ve gotten pretty good at not caring 😅
Wow, that opening panoramic shot was fantastic, cutiepie! Edit: from 2:30 the synthetic milk, the coffee-flavoured milkshake you ordered, and the gay elf dude were enough to turn me away.
Okay bye 👋
Why I hear you with AI translation in german language? It's awfull like this😑.
What?? Haha
I found the problem, in the playback settings, for some reason, the language was set to German.😃
@@anitak.9554 ohhh I was so confused 😅
me too😃
You take colostrum?! Like, human colostrum?
No lol. From cows
A food video that barely shows the food you ate. Glosses over every meal. Zzzzzzzz…
Ok Timothy no one forced you to watch…😅😊😂
