I Left The Ship | Goodbye Icon... 

Thank you to all of you for following me along my Icon Of The Seas contract. Once again, I am so thankful to be a part of cruise ship history. I am currently at home enjoying my rest, and the next adventure will be coming soon!

In Australia it is called "the tall poppy syndrome". This is when people who are jealous of a successful person will do anything to cut that person down. Chris you are a really great guy, do not let these jealous people get you down

So true. Someone is always trying to knock you down. Successful or a failure. People enjoy bringing misery. Remove toxic people from your life and ignore toxic people on social media. It’s okay to have a small circle of true friends.

Chris, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you on Icon, especially since it was your last week onboard. I'll tell you this you are very good at your job and for all of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting Chris he is a true gentlemen and what you see on youtube is the same in person. Kudos to you my friend and thank you for a grand time. Cheers.

Thanks Chris! I really enjoyed this series!

Always enjoy all your content Chris! Enjoy your much needed time off!😊

Been following you a long time, It's not passive income, you've worked hard on your vlogs. Enjoy your rest!

Hi Chris, thank you very much for your great videos. I’ve always enjoyed them. I am so sorry that someone had taken advantage of you. Please stay true to yourself and ignore the haters. Hope to see you soon on a new ship. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Chris, Thank you for your honesty and your learning curve about dealing with the public. It’s painful and poignant all at the same time. We’re all vulnerable in every stage of our lives but you’re right on….stay positive and kick the negativity out🙏👏

Yay so excited for you Chris can't wait to see the new vlogs Chris ❤

I'm looking forward to your future videos. Enjoy your time off Chris.

I still remembered watching your video of showing your "tiny' cabin, cannot believe its 6 months already! So amazed that you received so many souvenirs and gifts from your fans! I always watched all the commercials which is my way of saying thank you to you!! Good luck in whatever doing in your future!!!

Enjoy your break! I have enjoyed all your content and looking forward to seeing you again on your new adventures!

Goodjob Chris! Excited to see what the future holds for you sweety ❤

Welcome Home! I hope you had a nice journey back. Yeah, its really surreal after being sonewhere for a while. I bet you're going to get a long rest while home and look forward to see where you go to next.😊

Great icon of the seas series. Looking forward to seeing more series from you in the future. Enjoy your vacation

Enjoy your break with friends and family Chris! Looking forward to seeing your adventures on Utopia!

We enjoy all your content. It was nice meeting you again a few weeks ago on the Icon. Stay safe.

God Bless You Chris. Enjoy your next endeavors. I really enjoy your videos.

Chris you have created a good and responsible life show. You should be proud of what you have done. Keep your mind on what you are doing and providing . Good luck and keep the videos coming .

You're one of my favorite RU-vidrs. I watch all your videos and enjoy them very much. Keep up the good work and don't let the haters get you down, Have a great home visit.

Not passive income, you are putting in lots of time and work.

Chris I’ve been listening to you for a long time. Don’t let these kinds of Disruption get in the way of you enjoying life. I did miss some of your Contant when you weren’t posting anything but never worry. Your subscribers and viewers will stick with you no matter what somebody might say or do I remember something when I was a young kid “sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me”. Unfortunately some people can put stuff on the Internet and think that they’re hurting you but don’t worry about that stuff let it go. Your channel is doing great can’t wait until you’re on your next ship take care be safe. And don’t forget take care of your personal life too

Glad to have met you on the Inaugural cruise of Icon of the Seas! I truly enjoy all your videos! Enjoy your relaxing time at home and can’t wait to watch your new adventures!

Have a fabulous break,looking forward to watching your next adventure x

Chris, keep up the great content, don't let the haters get you down. There are some complete assholes in this world, we will stand by you because you are always honest and truthful. Have a great time off the ship, until next time, stay strong.

As we say in the U.S., "Don't let the bastards wear you down"! Good luck to you Chris and looking forward to seeing you on your next Contract Adventure!

What a nice goodby from you. I have watched your videos from the start. I always look for the new videos as I really enjoy hearing about your adventures. They bring me happiness. As you are getting older, you ae changing, as we all are! Nothing negative about that. It is a shame we are all in a dog eat dog world...I have seen such behavior even in my own career, fortunately not often. You learn, you move on. My gosh, you will be so wiser when older! Keep love in your heart. Patrick from Connecticut.

Congratulations Chris on your large following. I hope you have a wonderful summer holiday on dry land. You do work hard at your job and at your you tube channel. I hope that you film for us over the summer. 🙏🇨🇦

Congratulations on completing your contract. Hopefully you will be back onboard soon. Will you be able to rejoin Icon? Keep up the great videos, they are always well done and fun to watch. Enjoy you vacation, and absolutely enjoy your family time!

Glad you made it home! I had a feeling something was up. It definately effected your videos. Not necessarily negatively, but it did change. Mostly what I can say is be true to yourself. Do what you believe is right. Now you can relax for a while and lookforward to what's ahead. Peace!!

Enjoyed your series Chris, thank you! I am sad I won’t see you on this ship when I’m on in November. Hope to run into you soon! Sorry for whatever happened to you Chris. Don’t let it dim your light please 🙏

Thanks Chris. Just an early airport drop-off tip, check your bag with the skycap out side your Airline. I just give them a 10er tip and you don't have to drag your bag around. I have skycap check my bags 6 hours early.

Chris, I began following you in the pandemic. When you signed off the ship, went home and posted all the videos from England not knowing what you would do next and look at you now! Congratulations on a job well done. Enjoy your break and looking forward to the next adventure on the seas & maybe Connie 💘

6 months flew by!! It seems like yesterday you boarded the ship, safe travels, Chris

Chris, Enjoyed all your videos. Hope to see more adventures from you! God Bless😊

Chris… I’ve really enjoyed all your videos. Have a wonderful time at home and get some rest. Take care and will see you in the next video.

Best of luck, Chris!!

Love watching all your videos Chris can't wait to see what happenes next

Love the "video bomb" at 15:31! YT just now suggested your video to me and I am going to watch the vlogs back. I really like the idea of getting the crew's view of cruise life.

Great video. loved watching your trip home. Have a nice break.

Now youre back home. Congrats on completing the 10m views. Congrats on the success and yesI love watching these from my home in Sydney! Bernie

Keep this up, Chris! Luv your content!

Best of luck on your next chapter!

Great video, never let negative people get to you, you are great at what you produce, screw them,

Thanks for your videos and time. Get some much added rest. Hope too see you again on board soon. Hope the positives outweigh the negatives. Glad you made it home safely.

Enjoy your time at home..will always support your channel…we all can learn from various life experiences, hopefully that situation has made you stronger…Until next time🚢🙂

Hang in there Chris. Love your content. I hope to be able to meet you on a cruise some day.

Great time watching on icon! Hope to meet you on a ship soon😁 Have a great time off.

Very nicely done Chris!🤙

Love your Airport Adventures! It really helps when I find myself at those locations!

Chris I have been watching you for a long time and I never get tired of your content. I really like the way you present all of your vlogs. Never been on a cruise but I live vicariously with you while you work on whatever ship you are working on. Keep up the good work. 😊. To me you are one of the best vloggers on You Tube

Thank you, Chris! I love your contract departure, and travel day videos.

Hope to see you on Utopia in December. Have watched since covid shutdown . You still amaze me at how much a thin mancan eat.

Enjoy your time off!

You are so great! Thank you for letting us behind the scenes on our favorite vacation venue. We don't get to see this very much without conversing with the staff. Thank you for all you do and post!!

Loved all your content from this series, Chris. I'm fascinated by cruise ships but you give us all insights far beyond what typical cruise ship bloggers deliver. It's a huge enhancement to Royal's own marketing content while always remaining respectful to the confidentiality of its business operations. I honestly believe you have been a very significant influence in inspiring so many people from across the world to join the industry and in particular Royal Caribbean. Enjoy the break back home in the UK.

Great video, enjoy hearing my thai hubby's stories of his stint as a purser for carnival as well!

Your content was amazing from Day 1 of the Icon series. I found it fascinating how much training you did prior to the Inaugural sailing of the ship. As well as how much time you were on the ship prior to sailing. IMO you represented ICON in a very professional way that probably resulted in many folks wanting to sail Icon. Enjoy your time at home! ✌️

Safe travels. When will you start on the Utopia?

Sad to see you go from Icon. Hope to see you on yur next ship. Your video are so great.

Really enjoyed this blog

That disk with Royal Gambling Degenerates on it is called a Challenge Coin. It has a really long history (back to Roman empire I believe) and they are considered "badges" of honor especially in military communities.

I always enjoy your videos 😊

Congrats I enjoyed all your content. Keep up the awesome vlogs

New subscriber! I am Loyal to Royal and I look forward to following your adventures and I hope to meet you on a ship in the future!

Chris I have followed your channel from the beginning...you are a TRUE CLASS ACT! I am so sorry that you had this unfortunate experience on this contract, but as you said you are taking it as a learning experience....which will only make you stronger. Enjoy your time back home and look forward to where you take us next!

Thanks for sharing with us.

Yes give us the scoop on up and down with your contract so other will know what to do and don’t do? That the question? We enjoy all your videos up and down with Chris .

Chris, I am so sorry you had problems this year. RU-vid can be a cesspool for jealous and rude people but I never thought you would be attacked. You have been nothing but positive and polite. Not only do I love seeing you on the ship but the port visits are extremely useful. I am so disappointed with R.C. Management who I take it were not on your side. You have been nothing but gracious and a wonderful salesperson.for their product. I know it’s easy to say “ignore” it so all I’m going to say is when I watch your videos I always catch myself smiling. Thank you for all your work!

We look forward to your continued content.

Chris, get home safe 🌍✈🛫🛬, It's nice to spend time on your blog.

Chris, love your videos. Because of your videos my family and I booked our first cruise on RC. We leave this Friday on the Navigator of the Seas for a 7 day Mexican cruise. Thank you!

I guess I am following you around, was on Icon in March and will be on 4 day Utopia in Dec!

Looking forward to meeting you one day my friend. Can’t wait for the Utopia contract.

I do like these videos....ALL of your videos. I'm so sorry to hear of the problems that you had and hope that doesn't affect your future contracts with RCCL. I appreciate all that you do and look forward to seeing what your next contract will be. Keep on, keeping on, Chris!

Thumbs up. I miss when you end with PEACE, for how you said it. I'll miss your collabo with Connie. Your friendship, ah, it's just refreshing.

Enjoy your break 😀

Costa Maya has sure changed. We used to take a taxi to this random beach about 10 minutes drive away. I remember the drive took us through a semi-rural area. There was a place some of the crew would cook and a beautiful shallow lagoon...

Love your vlogs Chris! Every day we look to see if you have posted. Enjoy your vacation. Looking forward to your next adventure!

G’day from Oz. (Australia) I was new to your Chanel in December 23 and I watched all vlogs from the start, binge watch, and enjoyed them all. The Icon series was great especially after watching the vlogs where you could not show us things and then seeing those things once Icon was up and running. BTW, it’s a Koala, not bear. Hope you’re able to move fwd re the negative issues you mentioned. Enjoy your break, looking fwd to your next contract vlogs and anything in between. Oh are you going to Utopia OTS? Take care, Terry.

Chris, you are an icon!

Chris, just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. Thanks! Take care, and I hope you'll bring us along on your next journey

Wishing you much success in whatever you choose to do!

6 months sure goes very Fast 😅 enjoy your time back home rest ready for your next adventure 😜

Hope to see you again Chris!!! We will be on Wonder and Utopia next!!! Enjoy your break!

Chris, I didn't notice a change in the content. It was great as usual. I will say I was glad to see your joy return after the rough patch. I will say watching you interact with Connie and your other friends; you are a stellar guy. You really listen to your friends and care sincerely about their thoughts and whether they are okay or having a good time.

Time flies when you're having fun. Have you asked if you can extend your contract and stay on?

Thank you for what you do. Stay humble. Do what you need to do for your safety and mental health. Can’t wait to see what’s next!! ❤️🙏🏻🚢🛳️

Chris, I love watching your videos I will be going on my first cruise in December of 2025 on the NCL Joy to the Eastern caribean

Thanks for bringing us on your journey. Have a wonderful well-deserved rest. Look forward to seeing where your adventure will take you next.
