Speaking as someone who has no dance (or skate) background whatsoever, I am so impressed with your ability to pick up choreography. It's a skill I simply do not have. I have embarrassed myself so many times failing at simple "step aerobics" at the gym. I only dance when no one is watching. LOL Thanks for the vlogs and views into your world. Congrats on the hard work you've done during your first week of this contract. Good vibes and smooth sailings this season!
I am a mom of a former RCI dancer, and I love your vlog, and look forward to each new edition. Your parents must be so proud of you, I know I was when my daughter worked on board We were fortunate to be able to sail with her each contract, just as your parents have done. Your way of presenting your story is excellent and the content a lot of fun to watch. I would love to see the journey you took to decide to become employed with RCI. Stay safe, enjoy your day's, they pass so quickly. My daughter is now a mom, but still dances and performs aerial, I sure miss seeing her on stage. How do your parents feel about you being gone so much? I know for us, it was hard, but to see her doing what she loved was all we needed. From a parent's perspective, it is awesome to see your children live their dream.
I love how you post a good amount of the choreo...shows that it takes so much consistent hard work. I also LOVE the sound of the skates on the ice tapping and scraping during practice...it's somehow soothing
All of you are amazing! If I tried to do this I would break something 😂. (I’m all caught up on your Utopia vlogs now I’m working my way back and watching all your other playlists! 🛳️😊)
This was so much fun. Love all your content,but have a real soft spot for your shipboard life videos. Thanks so VERY much for taking us along, on all your adventures. Hugs from Houston ❤
Watching the rehearsal clips, I can see how it's definitely favouring "righties!" (I'm a lefty too). Turns, half loops, twizzles etc are mostly going anti-clockwise! The one bonus is that after this contract you'll be super comfortable doing everything in the opposite direction 😉 I once had a choreographer put us into groups of 3 to all do axels together in this fast-paced number. The director was extremely annoyed (initially) when I said no, I couldn't do an axel the opposite direction in the number lol 😆. She was an non-skater, as I'm sure you've just realised😅. We had to alter our group so I could jump the other way, then double-back super fast to get back into my grouping. It was a real pain lmao 🤣 Hope everything is going well in rehearsals! Show looks fun 😊🏴⛸️
Invitation to Dance is one of my favorite production shows. I think it's just beautiful. Great choreography and fun songs. But then, I've loved all the production shows I've seen on Royal. The entertainment is second to none, for sure.
Sorry your everything bagel seasoning opened up and went all over your luggage! That’s a good thing to know they can come open and pack it in a baggie so it’s still contained. I know that for liquids but didn’t think about seasonings! Teaching us good packing tips! That is a bunch of props! Good luck!
What a fab vlog Jordan! I used to be in the Oriana theatre company for P&O and did two contracts at sea! We used to do three months of rehearsal in London and then straight into tech and production once aboard.Your vlogs are so entertaining and you remind me of my time sooo much… I love watching them.. and can’t wait to follow your adventure.. I hope the mess food improves .. x
I do hope when you are in the show which should be soon, that you will have a little bit more time for yourself. It’s very hard long days you are working. Delighted to see your video today. The scenery looks so lovely ⛸️✨
I had never sailed on a ship with an ice rink until this summer on Mariner. How you do ANYTHING on the tiny sheet of ice in such poor condition (at least during the public session it was terrible) is mind blowing.
Wow, excellent, very nice to see what you and the crew put into it. Always knew it was intense by seeing previous shows on othe RC ships. Can't wait to see this one with you perfoming. My wife and I will be on the Feb 4 sailing, hope to get to meet you then. We wish you the best. You are great.
Love the content.! Can you go over what happens if a performer goes rogue and disciplinary measures are taken? Curious to know what can get a performer cut from the cast.
Hi Sweetie, you are definetly a 'pro' skater - I am in awe of how quickly you all pick up the choreography!! Just curious (seeing the boxes of TP in conference room 😉), do you tend to your own rooms, ie make beds, get TP or is it done for you? I have only been on one cruise, as a guest, and everything was done for us. Keep enjoying life, and sharing it with us!! Love from a mum in Sarnia, Ontario XO❤
I’m so sorry we missed you on the wonder of the seas you had already left anyway, I have a question when you are skating do you see the floor change different colors and patterns?
Me and my husband were on wonder your last week. You were fab in 365! We saw you onboard a few times but didn’t want to bother you. Best of luck for your new contract! Ps we have a few iPhone videos of your last full show if you’d like us to send them to you 😄
Love your green top, what is the brand? Laura? Also would love to know about the heatless curler you talked about - I always have challenges getting a good curl and yours looks great!
As a lefty, noticed you were left handed when I first started watching :) you said that this show is more right focused, what does that mean in relation to skating? Like other sports you throw or bat left/right handed. Is it just that your left foot is the lead foot? Sorry don't know anything about skating but love to learn and love your vids! :)
Great video. I have some questions… can you request a certain ship and how likely are you to get it? Are crew cabins ever nicer than this one? They usually are so tiny. Are the newer ships designed with better crew cabins? Can you negotiate salary? Would you ever consider working for different cruise lines? Do you guys get tips on top of salary? Thanks!! This show looks awesome & the level of talent for all the shows you’ve highlighted here is impressive! You should collaborate with Emma Cruises - she’s awesome.
I’ve always wondered this. When you get on a new ship does most of the cast know you or told you were coming? Are there some that get annoyed having a RUclipsr onboard? Do you have to get permission to film backstage and all that?
I am impressed that you can remember all those choreography routines. I have been doing the same Zumba dance for years and still can’t remember all the steps if the instructor was not in front of me.
I do hope after Install, you will be able to see the ports that you will have on your itinerary. These are some of my favorite places in the world. And having traveled to 147 different countries, I have many favorites. This summer We are seeing alittle Biltmore of the USA, visiting the San Juan Islands off of Seattle. But next year, heading back to Belgium and the Netherlands. Can't wait to see all your wonderful videos that you will post of this contract. But make time, to stop and smell the roses! Vickie from SE Pa
Just wondering, you mentioned in some of your previous posts your skates had ro be tan.I noticed many of the cast had other colors. Is there an assignment of colors per position in the show?
Quick question, I know you said your moving to a new room after install. Will you be sharing with the same person? Or with your boyfriend? Are couples allowed to share rooms?
11:40 nice upside-down name tag 😂 It makes me feel so old watching you learn this show that was my first show as stage staff in 2009. Also feeling nostalgic though. Also why is TP being stored in the conference centre instead of hotel stores? haha Also I just noticed toward the end there that it looks like you got one of the crew cabins that was converted from a single cabin to a double in 2013. Interesting seeing that as that was the reason I left Royal Caribbean.
I saw a Michael Jackson double head poke move- I hope that choreo will be to an MJ song 😂 Could be considered sac-religious if it isn’t 😂 Are choreographers called installers in the skate world? If so, where does that word come from?
Can you eat your meals in the Windjammer? Maybe they have better selections for you? Where is the boat right now? When does your bf come on board? I'm so excited to follow you on another contract!!!
While watching all the many RCCL skating performances, I’ve always wondered if skaters dislike props. They seem unnecessary and take away a little bit of the beauty and essence of pure skating.

I'm beyond exited that I will get to actually SEE THIS SHOW!!
That looks like so much hard work. How you keep an upbeat attitude never fails to impress!
Wow, the views from the ship on this contract are gorgeous!
Install looks great! Can't wait to see when this cast takes over! Really looking forward to your ship life videos and days ashore! Happy days ahead!😊❤
9:12
Installer: “and under the leg”
Guy “nope.”
😂😂
a mood honestly 😂
I love seeing the progression of the routines and the details of it all!!
It’s super interesting to see all the work it takes to bring a show ready for an audience. Enjoy your new contract 😊
So great to see you back on a ship again!! The Wonder show was fabulous and this show looks pretty darn awesome too!! Take care Sweetie!
All of you are amazing! If I tried to do this I would break something 😂. (I’m all caught up on your Utopia vlogs now I’m working my way back and watching all your other playlists! 🛳️😊)
Girl your hair is looking amazing! Can’t wait for all the videos of this contract!

Hope everything is going well in rehearsals! Show looks fun 😊🏴⛸️
Looks like it's going to be a fantastic show, and the props look so cool. Have a great day
So loving these videos! You guys work so hard!
Looks like another great show ❤
Glad they’re taking safety & training seriously on your ship! 👍
That little slide squat move at around 7:50….my knees could never!
Invitation to Dance is one of my favorite production shows. I think it's just beautiful. Great choreography and fun songs. But then, I've loved all the production shows I've seen on Royal. The entertainment is second to none, for sure.
Love your Wonder cast jacket. Wish you were still on the Wonder since we'll be on her next month. Best to you, Jordan on this new contract.
Thanks for taking us along. As usual an excellent video especially since we get to see a lot of the behind the scenes.
Sorry your everything bagel seasoning opened up and went all over your luggage! That’s a good thing to know they can come open and pack it in a baggie so it’s still contained. I know that for liquids but didn’t think about seasonings! Teaching us good packing tips! That is a bunch of props! Good luck!
3:24 love this ice ASMR. So soothing 😊
Your face when she was doing the steps had me dying of laughter especially with that zoom in
me: 😵💫🤔

All of the hard work will be appreciated by guests 😊

I am just happy I got to watch u perform on wonder❤
Hi Sweetie, you are definetly a 'pro' skater - I am in awe of how quickly you all pick up the choreography!!

They should have a steward to do bed change/light cleaning. We did he was from Goa and was amazing and I used to tip him every week x
The show needs dinos.
Don’t they all?😂
period 👌
what a cute outfit you had on. the first night. All of you work so hard. and you make it look so easy. the water is such a pretty blue.
Just preparing to disembark from radiance of the seas, our first diamond tour
My daughter loves those heatless curlers too. Thanks for telling us about them,
Your hair looks really healthy
I’m so sorry we missed you on the wonder of the seas you had already left anyway, I have a question when you are skating do you see the floor change different colors and patterns?

Love your videos. Can’t wait to see all the places you go. I Love Europe.
Loved this video, Jordan! When will Callum join you on Explorer? I haven’t heard you talk about him yet but thought he would be on the ship as well.
What area of work is Callum in?
@@alexandria65 Thanks so much for letting me know. That was really thoughtful.
27 minutes?! We are being FED
😂😂😂
Your hair is so pretty
Love your badge is upside down at 11:30
LMAO😂

in 11:44 you had your tag upside down haha! were you able to put it right side up after? 😂❤
Love the Mini Zamboni!
it’s so cute ☺️
Which heatlesscurl wrap do you use? Hope you're having a great day!!
12:07 Is that you? how close to the ice does the head come?! 🤯
Is it easier to learn everything on ice or floor rehearsal? Which do you prefer?
Great video. I have some questions… can you request a certain ship and how likely are you to get it? Are crew cabins ever nicer than this one? They usually are so tiny. Are the newer ships designed with better crew cabins? Can you negotiate salary? Would you ever consider working for different cruise lines? Do you guys get tips on top of salary? Thanks!! This show looks awesome & the level of talent for all the shows you’ve highlighted here is impressive! You should collaborate with Emma Cruises - she’s awesome.
So as a fellow left skater do you have to relearn skills right handed to do a show like this?
yes i have to learn to manage almost everything the other direction😅
just a step to the left.....love these. so you only have one cast member that you have worked with before?
2!! but 3 more coming soon 🤗
Very cool
fun!
I’ve always wondered this. When you get on a new ship does most of the cast know you or told you were coming? Are there some that get annoyed having a RUclipsr onboard? Do you have to get permission to film backstage and all that?

Love ❤️ Jordan love the videos and content

Quick question, I know you said your moving to a new room after install. Will you be sharing with the same person? Or with your boyfriend? Are couples allowed to share rooms?
Are you using your new Sony!?!?!? It might be just wishful thinking, but I think the video looks amazing. Somethings about Sony color IMHO :)
What level skater/skills do you need to be for a skating job like this? Thx
11:40 nice upside-down name tag 😂
It makes me feel so old watching you learn this show that was my first show as stage staff in 2009. Also feeling nostalgic though.
Also why is TP being stored in the conference centre instead of hotel stores? haha
Also I just noticed toward the end there that it looks like you got one of the crew cabins that was converted from a single cabin to a double in 2013. Interesting seeing that as that was the reason I left Royal Caribbean.
You might have mentioned it before, but what is the heartless curler thing that you sleep in?
What is the non heat curler did you use?😊
waitttttt! the nametag is upside down at 11:40! i haven't watched the whole thing so maybe it's addressed/fixed later!
was it the way the camera works or was your name badge upside down
Listening to the lady counting reminds me of Sing 2 😂 - I don’t hear you counting Johnny!
The other show had bikes too but bikes in skates sounds insane to me
Why do your skates have to be tan color? I can't wait to see the next vlog, i hope install is going good.
❤❤❤
Your nametag was upside down at @11:35 lol
You are doing good
What are all of the songs you skate to in this show?
I saw a Michael Jackson double head poke move- I hope that choreo will be to an MJ song 😂
Could be considered sac-religious if it isn’t 😂
Are choreographers called installers in the skate world? If so, where does that word come from?
3 minutes ago?!?!? You’re kidding 🙌🏻🩵
WOW that scenery! Now I wish I could do a cruise before going back to work after my summer break. 😢
How are you favorite ship
Can you eat your meals in the Windjammer? Maybe they have better selections for you? Where is the boat right now? When does your bf come on board? I'm so excited to follow you on another contract!!!
OMG the amount of work you put in just learning the show. I am tired from watching!
Did you put your namebadge on upside down to see if you would get comments? If so, here’s one.
😂😂😂
Assuming that the show hasn't changed on the Explorer, it's been at least a decade since I've seen the show you are working on...
How come the other girl in the show has white skates on?
she hadn’t painted them yet!
Is this only half you cast or is part of the cast before you extending to be part of your show?
4 skates from previous cast are extending with us 🤗
Do you think Julia counts in her sleep? One, two. Three four. Five six. Seven eight. I’d wake up in a panic counting. 😅
What are you up to
While watching all the many RCCL skating performances, I’ve always wondered if skaters dislike props. They seem unnecessary and take away a little bit of the beauty and essence of pure skating.
I am left hand
Do you have a roommate?
