Morning Announcements at the Sunday Gold Team show of JoCo Cruise 2022
Channel: Angela Brett
Date: 2022-03-26

My new camera is great, but I knew I’d end up making some kind of new error with it, and that error is stopping and starting recording at the beginning of each concert because of the lag before the camera displayed that it was recording. That means I missed a few seconds, and this video begins with “You know, Janet!” Paul Sabourin is asking our Gold Team Leader Janine (previously misnamed Janet) whether they’d like their reserved seats up front. They wouldn’t, so Paul offers to have their reserved seats signs moved to wherever they are. Paul then asks who did stuff Nassau during our port stop, and who sat like a lump. It’s not an either-or! Jonathan Coulton had double lunch. Storm DiCostanzo was halfway between lump and do.

It’s only Sunday, and we’ve been at sea for sixteen weeks. It’s time for morning announcements. Paul hopes there aren’t any swear words in the announcements that have been written for him.

You may sign up for the Bananagrams tournament and the murder mystery party (Not you. But we could have.)
There’s a shipwide chess match going on in the atrium, red team vs. gold team, where each individual can only make one move per day on behalf of their team.
Coach Cruise’s Anti-Gravity derby (https://jococruise2022.sched.com/event/wmxW/anti-gravity-derby) and Riz Rollins’ silent disco (https://jococruise2022.sched.com/event/wmyI/silent-dance-party-postponed) have to be rescheduled because the boat is being too boaty

There will be rough seas this evening, though apparently not as bad as the first-night concert of 2020 (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ-l6mr1dW0h49rh-HyiMIB-gqoeCjiN7) The Jenga tournament is not cancelled, but the level of difficulty will be much higher. Please do not get crushed under the giant Jenga.

They need to clear the main dining room (which is open for us to use for gaming during the day) starting at 3p.m. each day to set it up for dinner service. Also, please show up at the main dining room at or near your assigned dinnertime. Games will be getting secured for tonight’s and tomorrow’s boatiness, but still, don’t play a game under the shelves of several hundred pounds of games. Do not fear the swinging sword over your head.

There’s a service called LuggageDirect, where the cruise line will take your bags all the way to the airport and check them into your flight when we disembark. 

Specialty dining is still available at most of the venues, by calling 88 from any phone (not 82, as Drew announced last night.) If you want to upgrade your cabin, you can do that at Guest Services.

Because Ty Franck was unable to join us, the ‘They want to make a TV show of my stuff’ panel has been cancelled, but at the same time as that would have been, there will be John Scalzi office hours.

There will be a second bar crawl, because the first one was very popular.

Tomorrow’s theme is Cosplay Day! The theme is ‘themes’: see how many themes you can spot!

Are you all ready to enjoy a really awesome concert? How many of us have never seen or heard anything by Dessa? We’re in for a treat tonight, but before Dessa, here’s a standup comedian who was recommended by every single one of their friends: Shalewa Sharpe! Actually she’s not here on YouTube, because like most standup comedians on the cruise, she didn’t want her set to be published. She was great though; go see her if you have a chance. 

The parts of the concert that I can share will be in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ-l6mr1dW0gK5si1lXpVDSBZqfedxlYI The full concert as a single video is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3avh63eTO-Y
