We're cruising on the maiden voyage of the brand new ship from Carnival Cruise Line... Mardi Gras, sailing out of Port Canaveral, Florida! We sailed from July 31 to August 14, 2021 on back-to-back cruises with stops in San Juan, Amber Cove, Nassau, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Mahogany Bay. This sailing was 95% vaccinated (see our separate protocols video for more information on that) with basically no mask requirements indoors our outdoors, no social distancing, and self-serve buffets. Let's do this thing!

Please don’t worry about negative people. You guys are responsible human beings, and I appreciate the two of you. I’m glad Dee is resting. 🙏🙏🙏
You two are totally the most rule following folks that ever have been, and if Dee got sick, anyone can. Thank you for being open and honest about your experience. ❤️❤️ Hoping Dee is feeling better, Jay doesn't get sick, and that there are many adventures in your future! 😊😊👍

I just cackled at the "escandelo" about the Pepsi vs. Coke products. lol
I appreciate you guys taking the time to let everyone know your experience. Everyone that is a regular watcher knows you guys were doing everything right to prevent this. Love you both. I hope Dee feels better.

You must be bored out of your mind to TROLL!
You handled this so well. So did Carnival. Great to see a positive ending as long as Dee recovers quickly. Hugs Dee and Jay.
A truly remarkable video. Sharing your COVID experience, gives all of us cruisers an insight as to what really happens, hoping none of us have to go through this situation. You and Dee are so thoughtful and considerate and know that you are so loved by all of your subscribers. Sending all of our love from your Canadian friends. Be well Dee and take care! And, Jay, you are a great husband.
Only been watching ya’ll for about 6 months now and appreciate the heck out of you all sharing your story not just now but always. Hope everyone’s feeling better soon!! I’ll be continuing to travel as much as possible and know you all will as well. Life happens and this unfortunately is now a small part of life.
Thank you so much "Editing Jay" for your upfront, honest, and immensely interesting continuation of this Mardi Gras series. Your transparency with the uncomfortable situation that you both found yourselves in is admirable. We wish you the best, and for Dee to make a full and speedy recovery. We admire you both and continue to enjoy and get caught up on your many wonderful vlogs! 🙏👍👍👍🌞
Been watching for years, and will continue to do so. Life happens, even when you take precautions. Keep doing you! Look forward to future events. *hugs* to Dee
“Do you boo” lol I love being apart of the maniac family!!
Hope Dee gets better soon. Sending more healing energy your way.
UPDATES & RANDOMNESS: Since I realize that people "number" cruise days differently, and Reading Jay isn't entirely sure which method of numbering he ended up using this time around, here's a recap of our timeline with actual dates: -Sat 7/31 through Sat 8/7 first cruise, no issues -Sat 8/7 back-to-back day, no issues -Sun 8/8 first sea day, no issues -Mon 8/9 Cozumel, no issues other than Dee getting pool water in her nose -Tue 8/10 Costa Maya, spa day, first mild symptoms presented that evening during Deal Or No Deal, mild throat tickle and some overall achiness, we decided to leave the show and head to bed early as a precaution -Wed 8/11 Mahogany Bay, symptoms were still cold/flu-like with no obvious COVID triggers but had improved overnight, worsened again after breakfast burritos, canceled our excursion, decided to self-quarantine in our cabin the rest of the day -Thu 8/12 second sea day, symptoms again cold/flu-like with no obvious COVID triggers and again improved, ventured out of the room that morning masked, still trying to avoid people and stay outside as much as possible, then returned to the cabin, during the "paid room service" session that evening is when Dee first noted the sudden complete loss of smell & taste -Fri 8/13 third sea day, Jay ventured out solo to get burritos, decided that we would call for a test that day, packed our suitcases, tested, spent the rest of the day filling out forms and talking to doctors, moved to quarantine room that evening -Sat 8/14 debarkation morning, exited the ship using the approved crew elevators and exits Some of the main questions that we might not have addressed, that didn't apply directly to us... -If someone tested positive during a port day rather than a sea day, I *believe* you would be escorted off the ship rather than quarantining onboard, and Carnival helps to make arrangements to get you back home. -If we had tested prior to the final day of our cruise, I *believe* we would have been refunded for the portion that we were forced to quarantine, but that didn't apply to us. -From the quarantine zone, I *believe* you can order things that aren't on the standard room service menu, as we saw containers of soup on tables in the hallway, which was not a room service option.
