    Thank you for answering my question. I've done 4 six or seven months deployment in the Navy and I can tell you that you're right that day do blur. Pulling into ports help and sometimes finding that moment you can be alone can be the best (because everyone was always around and in your business). I can't tell you how many time I would just sit outside at night just to look out. Unlike your ship we always had our light off unless we was doing something like flight operation or refueling at sea so we could see everything in the sky and have done some thinking.. Anyway keep up the great work and look forward to some more.

    Jordan, we were on the ship that night the alarm went off at 1130pm! A lot of our neighbors were running down hall with their life jackets on and in their pajamas! It seemed to take awhile to announce a false alarm by Captain? It was the scariest thing that ever happened on our cruise history! Lol 🚢🚢😂

    Great Q & A. I guess I will have to check out SJ a little more. I like St. Maarten and Coz. Now I do like SJ because of the CVS across the dock and walking along the coast of the island to the fort at the peninsula. I found a bunch of friendly cats along the way. Glad to hear you have not had seasickness. I was told about the "behind the ear patch" but fellow pax said to try without and haven't had one since. I've been through a few days where seasick bags were deployed on the stairwells. On the Radiance class, they have pool tables that adjust to waves and played pool on a seasick bag day. I felt good ("liquid medication") and played a couple games. Boy those table tops were swaying to the point of watching when you leaned over for a shot. :-O Again, here is hoping you can get off the other ports soon; although, I heard Coz is mask indoors and out regardless of vax. It can get hot, hot, hot there! Take care!

    Question for your next Q&A video: Watching your vlog it seems that you and the other cast members almost exclusively spin clockwise. Is that just a coincidence of the choreography or is figure skating typically taught that way for a reason? aka "right handed bias"
