For those that have been following Riley's journey through cruising, COVID, and beyond....  He has started Vloging again.... and joined a new cruise line, with Cass.... Pretty exciting news for him!

Riley finally posted a new Vlog!  He has been working so hard the past few months he really hasn’t had much time to make these, but his mom and I sure do love seeing them.  They always feel like letters home... 🤗
 

Riley has a new Vlog out today... All about what it was like flying internationally, and finally making the journey back home to Alaska after 149 strait days at sea:

Very cool to see...  Riley posted a new Vlog today too:

Hope they can both get back to the jobs they love and some sense of normal someday.

It was the same since he started with RCI - light technician in 270.

He's done two contracts as the Lighting Technician for 270 (Once on Anthem, and once of Quantum), and on his first contract on Quantum he was the Lighting Tech. for the Royal Theater.

Question for you.  Chris has gotten questions about discounts for family with Royal but his family hasn't joined him.  Have you sailed with Riley?

 

Roy

We have been fortunate enough to sail with Riley three times since he started working for Royal Caribbean.  The first two times were on Anthem of the Seas out of New Jersey... Once to Bermuda, and then a New England/Canada cruise in the Fall of 2018.  Last summer we joined him on Quantum for a cruise from Tianjin, China to several ports in Japan.  All have been great trips, and it was a great way to spend some time with our son.  Families of staff like Riley don't get a discount if they just want a regular stateroom.  However, if a staff member has a cabin with additional bed space, I have heard that there is a way for family to join them for a very inexpensive daily rate.  Riley has never had that type of crew cabin, so I don't have much info. about how that works.  I'm sure he could explain it better if you ask him a question on YouTube in his comments section.

Are we all allowed to advertise our channels on CC now?

 

Can TAs now advertise?

 

It would be great if that could happen - We might get some real tips and brilliant deals

My apologies if I did something wrong here... this is in no way an advertisement.  I was only trying to share some of these crew stories.  More than anything, my son (and many others) just hope to go back to doing the jobs they love.  If the moderators think I should, I will be glad to delete my post.

Riley's Dad here Chris....  His mom and I loved both the videos!  For those that haven't seen them, the YouTube links are here:
