It's great to know they haven't changed the names. I haven't been on a Navy vessel in over 50 years & still remember what I've learned in boot camp. I've never seen a grand ladder or grand stairway on a U.S. Navy ship. No more buttkits or buttcans for cigarette butts & ashes. There's always been ladders at high angles with a water tight hatch at each deck or overhead. .
I had fun watching this with my mom! She has a better understanding of our traditions now in the Navy! I’m still trying to convince her to go on a cruise. I will break her in slowly with my camper van!
Congrats on 100k! Just finished 28 days on Princess Crown, Los Angeles to Tahiti. I am no longer a pollIywog,. I was a shallow water sailor in the USCG. Two of my favorite nautical terms was three sheets to the wind and I saw a few stanchions on your video.. Great channel, good luck on your next journey.
Thanks for sweet memories this Easter. I stated cruising-as a teen in 68 with family and on 2 to 4 person day sailers even earlier. I remembered all the terms except Geedunk (cool). My uncle back in my early cruise day they had cocktail/Mock-tail like you parties every day and UNK would say ready to scuttlebutt like you said drink and chat. The steward would ask how many upper racks will you use today. Once my children started cruising in the 90. It was just beds. 🎉 100k fair wind and follow the seas
Just got off the Caribbean Princess and that spot, starboard aft on the fantail, literally that spot is my favorite on the Grand class ships. I have so many sunset images and videos from that spot. 😊
@@30AndAWakeUp ikr? So good. Enjoy your time on Caribbean princess. Grand class lives very “starboard” sided, if that makes sense. but that’s fine. And the wheelhouse bar is the coldest spot on that ship! They seem to blast the AC in that bar for some reason. And, inside wheelhouse ‘behind’ the bar port side is usually a very private spot.
Is this the video you mentioned in this morning’s LIVE show? I finally watched it and thought it was pretty interesting! Also, congrats on hitting 100k! I started watching you during your vanlife period.
Enjoyed the video Kev. I go into Sailor mode when I cruise too. Underway (set sail). Gangway is the brow. Ensign is the American flag. On leave is vacation. And how about these, not quite nautical but more slang. Sailor (squid), Army (grunt), Marine (jarhead), Coast Guard (coastie). Have a great day! 100k and climbing!
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! So excited for you! I've been following you since you did a video with Amber years ago. Nice of you to thank her in your livestream yesterday! Love your livestreams! Doesn't bother me one bit that they can be long sometimes! Love your cruise series! Thought vanlife was my favorite, but think this series is now! Interesting video! Hope we don't have a test! :)
When you named your channel something and a wakeup, I knew you were former Navy. When I heard you say "frou frou creamers" in another video, I knew you were a chief...
Great video, thanks for sharing❤so excited to board Tuesday. Lucky to have bow wake view cabin on the port side. Thanks for the shout out STERN 😂 my family name.
Great video! Would love to know the real meaning of those codes we sometimes hear on the ship: Alfa, etc. Also the meaning of the flags that are raised for different reasons. Just some ideas for the future videos :)
So much fun Kevin! I enjoyed learning all the terms in such a fun way. As a viewer and a new fan of yours, one thing I'd suggest is that you say your name sometime within the first 30 seconds to a minute. I don't think you say your name at all in this video. Thanks for sharing!
I like terminology & new stuff to learn. All profession have their own terminology but is it slang terminology you are saying now? Like in medical is pretty straightforward & easy connect altogether & thanks 🌍🛳 very nice view👍
I have soooooo many more ... O'Dark A-Farts Amateur Night Anchors Aweigh (not Away) Bubblehead Cadillac Oscar Nub Uncle Sam's Canoe Club ... you could make a whole series of these vids!
Congrats on 100K Kevin! Knew it was coming soon! Subscribed right after you gave us a tour of your Travato, and have enjoyed your content. You consistently share great info regardless of how you travel! Happy sailing!
Interesting to hear what names are used on ships I remember a few navy ships I been on had so many water tight doors to save the ship from flooding I called them shinn breakers congratulations on 100 ➕️ k
Congratulations on 100K subscribers. Thank you for the language lesson as well. As an early teen, our parents started sailing on weekends. We had moved to a place where there was actually some lakes. By college I took a lot of the language for granted... Thank you again for another fun video. Safe travels.
Loved learning all these terms! Could you explain sometime why the starboard side is called starboard? I assume port side is because traditionally that’s the side that is docked in port. Is that right?
Great video, Kevin. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I only got about 5 or 6 right. I need to rewatch and take some notes before my next cruise with friends. You didn't cover port and starboard sides, which would have increased my score 😀
Thank you for bringing your unique take on cruise travel. You have the 'clear W" on affordable travel that feels rich (in spirit), exciting, and experiential. Always a great story to share.
Congratulations on 100K, Master Chief! Got all but the Knee knocker and shower locker. 6 years in the Navy but never served on a ship. We used all the terms you mentioned on shore command, except the those 2. :)
Starting 100k subscribers and we have to muster to learn terms on a “boat”. 😂 I can see a bed being called a rack when you are bunked six high. I remember my supervisor had us together at the “Goat Locker” at Pt Mugu. We didn’t know until after we ate. Navy chief got upset. We had a AF chief (E9) but he was out of uniform. Another navy sailor recognized our chief as a guest on the base. Anyway there was no sign, but it magically appeared as we finished. My first interaction with Navy tradition. Thank you for sharing and have a great day.
Thanks for this video. My dad taught us many as kids. Our favs were poopdeck and bamboozled. Come to think of it, bamboozle might be the most apt description of many things political. JMÒ
oops you forgot Port and Starboard, those always throw cruise passengers. They'll announce, for example, the tenders are on deck 2 Port side. My navy veteran husband taught me, port has four letters just like left...so port = left.
Awesome! Thanks for dropping suck knowledge on us. Do you ever use these terms with cruise ship crew? If so, how often do they know what you are saying?
100K! 🎉❤ U so deserve this MILESTONE, Kevin! U r an AWESOME Creator. I am SO JEALOUS 😅 of all the cool things u get to do...but luv watching! Have safe and blessed travels! LUCRETIA 🇺🇸
@@judithcardoso6682 ya know... I thought There was some sort of reference to letters, But then I couldn't remember what the reference was. Four letters in left and port? Left and port both end with t? Starboard and right both have the letter R? - but so does port? Uggggggg😒 The teacher in me comes up with so many "hints" that they all start blending together.
Oh Kevin! You brought so many memories of my Dad, USN, WWII, back to mind! The word Geedunk was used often in my house growing up. Also, he used to wake us up with “all hands hit the deck”! Thanks for this.
@@30AndAWakeUp he would tell us to move our geedunk, aka junk food or junk, from the kitchen table. He served on the USS Biscayne, a sea plane tender. He had many great stories and loved to tell them.
Hey, I am not sure if you're even interested but I read on Norwegian they have pretty luxurious 100 sq ft rooms for solo cruise travelers now. I know you prefer something nice but just curious if it's a reasonable value for solo traveler.
@@30AndAWakeUp thanks 🙏. It should be an interesting experience. I think it's 100 sq ft. I wonder what is the "appropriate" duration before you go nutty. 😉
Hi Kevin, interesting to hear your naval terms as they do differ from the UK "Jack Speak". In the Royal Navy your bed is your pit. A chocolate/candy bar is a nutty bar. Sailors are called Matelots. Deck is the same, as is galley and bulkhead. The main "corridor" in a ship that's going forward to aft is called Burma Way. Also, the gossip/rumour is a buzz. Gosh, that's brought back some memories, I was a Navy wife for quite a number of years back in the 80's, if we ever meet up on a cruise we could swop stories lol, Hope you're enjoying your sea time :-)
Pit is also a term we would use as well. So interesting to hear the British differences. Most of our Naval tradition comes from the Royal Navy. I'd love to swap some stories :)
My Grandfather fought in WWI in the Yankee Division and saw action in 4 major battles and was gassed. He then joined the Navy in WWII and fought in the Pacific. My Uncle was on the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941 and was a survivor. Another Uncle was a paratrooper on D-Day and landed just outside of Sainte-Mere-Eglise and fought in the Battle of the Bulge where he received a severe arm & head wound & he survived. My father entered southern France at D-Day +30 and worked his way into Germany to the Eagles Nest.
Good stuff Kevin, thanks! One new word I just learned during my first cruise is "Muster." Apparently that's the place you go to if there is an emergency! Please keep the videos coming...I love them!
haha...on a Navy ship...muster is an gathering where you take an account of who is there. We would do a muster onboard a ship every morning to get our work assignments.
It's great to know they haven't changed the names. I haven't been on a Navy vessel in over 50 years & still remember what I've learned in boot camp. I've never seen a grand ladder or grand stairway on a U.S. Navy ship. No more buttkits or buttcans for cigarette butts & ashes. There's always been ladders at high angles with a water tight hatch at each deck or overhead. .
still buttkits...I might put that in my next vid like this :)
Oh, good! This gives me 34 full hours to think up funny ones for a comment before I learn the real ones. Score! 😂
Can't wait to hear them. Hahaha
(I know 2 out of those three)
@@mckenna8663 oh, dang, now I actually have to think of some. LOL. I was just gonna let that be the joke! 🤣🤣

I’m excited for this one
I have always wondered where calling the bathroom the head came from? Fun hearing all these terms! Wishing you fair winds and following seas!!
Fair winds and following seas to you as well! :)
100k! That’s awesome! Congrats! Awesome history lesson too!
Thanks a million!
