I Went to a Crew Party (Kind Of)

Published January 31, 2026


Description

The 46 day cruise continues! Today is Day 5, we're in St. Maarten, and that means it's crew drill day.

Never a favorite of any crew member, but it has to happen. This drill in particular had the potential to be a long one, because the Coast Guard will be boarding on Sunday to inspect Star of the Seas. This is pretty typical, and can be expected to happen around twice a year.

Management jumps into an even higher gear than usual when a Coast Guard inspection is around the corner, but we were pleasantly surprised at how quick the crew were released for the day. I guess everything must have gone really well.

Jaidyn's roommate Mel celebrates her birthday in this video as well, and invited 25 of us to a dinner called Celebration Table. It's an absolutely massive amount of food, and cost us $800 split 25 ways.

We read all the comments and try to respond to most, so if you want to see something in particular or have a question or whatever, feel free to ask it there and we'll try our best to get to it.

Alllrrrighhtty see ya in the next one!
