Parody. Cruise. Music. Travel. Cooking. Shenanigans. Repeat.

Salutations! We are Dee & Jay of the House ParoDeeJay, first of our names, makers of songs, cruisers of ships, the sometimes-sunburnt, creators of nonsense, vloggers of randomness, and parents of kitties. We started our YouTube journey in 2013 as a way to release homemade, no-budget parody and cover songs, and eventually added videos on cooking, challenges, gaming, travel & more. Basically, our channel is a big ol' mixed bag of things that we enjoy, and we hope you'll join us for some crazy adventures!! :D

Hello from somewhere in the world! Editing Jay has been having too much fun and fallen behind schedule, so we'll push the next Circle Pacific episode to Monday to give him a chance to catch up. His punishment was to listen to "Sweet Caroline" on repeat for 24 hours straight (no, those instances won't count toward the contest), then get back to work!! :P

Friday, December 19, 2025 -- Goooood morning! We had a busy day of travel & whatnot yesterday, but we're home safely for the holidays. There's no video today, but we're hoping to record some Costa final thoughts later today to put out tomorrow morning, then carry on with the next cruise vlog series on Monday as usual. We hope everyone has a happy holiday season!! :D ~Jay & Dee

The upcoming Margaritaville At Sea vlog shows the fun we had in Ocho Rios four weeks ago. Our hearts go out to the people of Jamaica as they recover and rebuild after this catastrophic storm!!

*** VIDEO SCHEDULE UPDATE!! ***

Jay has come down with the sickness... apparently not COVID after testing negative three times, but some sort of cold/flu/RSV type situation... so we'll be laying low on posting new videos until he's rested up and his voice is ready to record once again! See ya soon!! :D

*** WHERE MAH FRIDAY MORNING VIDEO AT?! ***

Editing Jay has been focusing a bit more on having fun and documenting new experiences rather than making the actual videos for Oceania Marina, but have no fear... they're still on the way! We may not be able to stick to a regular schedule for the next week or so, but we'll post new episodes as soon as they're ready!! :P

*** SUN PRINCESS UPDATE - October 8, 2024 ***

Good morning from Sun Princess! We're safe and sound, floating just off the coast of Fort Lauderdale right now, and we plan to post some short status update videos on our Facebook and Instagram over the next few days. We won't be posting any specific video updates here regarding the storm and our altered itinerary, as this isn't really the format that we use for those types of things, but we'll work them into our normal vlog series later for folks who don't do the other social medias. Stay safe out there, and we hope that folks can continue to recover from the previous storm and continue to prepare for this upcoming one!!

*** VLOG SCHEDULE UPDATE - October 5, 2024 ***

Thank you SO much to everyone who followed along on our Nieuw Statendam mega-adventure to Iceland, Greenland, Norway, and beyond. We know that long cruises and cold weather cruises aren't everyone's cup of tea, and we've gotten quite a few comments asking when we'll be returning to the Caribbean because folks are sick of the cold, hah...

The amount of cruising we do each year is heavily dependent on ad revenue, which comes from folks viewing our videos... so if you watch all our cold weather cruising, you're helping support our upcoming warm weather cruising. If you haven't been following along with the European adventures, we would certainly appreciate the support with your views!

We've been fortunate to do somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 Caribbean/Bahamas cruises thus far, again almost entirely thanks to ad revenue generated by our ParoManiac family watching the videos. We're thankful to have you all by our sides as we continue to branch out and explore more parts of the world that interest us.

With that said, we know Florida cruising is usually at the forefront of our audience's mind, so we've decided to start our Sun Princess series this coming Monday, as she will be newly sailing from Florida soon. (We'll also have a video tomorrow dedicated to our magical "Spellbound" dining experience as an extra special feature.) Our Oceania vlogs will come out after Sun Princess wraps, and by then we will be in Florida cruising the Caribbean once again, and those vlogs will follow Oceania.

Thanks again as always for being part of our crazy vacations! We should be home again for a livestream on Sunday, October 13th. Speaking of homes, our area was largely spared, but our hearts go out to the folks still returning to their homes and recovering from the storm damage that affected the western parts of our state, our neighbors, and beyond!!
