We're halfway through MerMay! We can't wait to splash our tails with you again on Half Moon Cay in 2027! Photo from JoCo Cruise 2025 by Cluze #mermay #merfolk #ofmd

Trying to explain the JoCo Cruise can be a little difficult. Maybe we should make a chart...

What do you do when you're on the cruise with a Grammy & Oscar winning writer of Golden? Learn an 8 part harmony in 2 hours, that's what! Watch here: youtube.com/shorts/8_w4X... . #kpopdemonhunter #kpop #jococruise

So here's a fun thing I did… A friend I've known for decades has a podcast about gaming conventions (@gamingconventions.bsky.social), so he and his cohost interviewed me about @jococruise.bsky.social, gaming, music, and plenty of inscrutable digressions into our shared history.

DYK? - We personalize the menus on JoCo Cruise! Did you have a favorite this (or any other) year? Personally, I'm team Grillbo Baggins all the way.

Do you still use any social media besides BlueSky? (We know many people moved here to avoid Meta)

May the 4th Be With You! youtube.com/shorts/GANu2...

I'm watching a video of a @jococruise.bsky.social performance at work, and whenever Paul from @paulandstorm.bsky.social says his "Good Evening Students" line, I'm always tempted to say the response aloud for no reason.

Did you make any crafts this year on the JoCo Cruise? Tag us in photos if so, we'd love to see your creations! Photo from Sip & Stich Shadow Event on JoCo Cruise 2026 by Joshua Badgley #jococruise

Happy #FreeComicbookDay! Name one comic you recommend and why!

You make "It's gonna be May" jokes for the last week of April. May 1st is for fucking outside. *Phoenix Wright voice* "Gonna be May" means it's not May yet!

Jonathan Coulton has heard you loud and clear about The First of May!

Kate Rubins was an entertaining and educational speaker. She had the crowd in the palm of her hand.

Happy First of May!

Tomorrow is SPACE DAY! It was so amazing having NASA astronaut (ret.) Kate Rubins on JoCo Cruise 2026! Space lovers: tell us one new thing you learned about space this year 🔭🪐🛰️🚀👩‍🚀 Photo from JoCo Cruise 2026 by Ashford Craig #jococruise #jococruise2026 #spaceday #nasa #astronaut

What was your favorite tabletop game you played on JoCo Cruise? And was it one you had played before or was it new to you? Photo from JoCo Cruise 2026 by Kristin Amsden #boardgames #tabletop #gaming #jococruise #cruise

Runner up for me is long running breakfast MVP congee plussed with a poached egg from the Benedict station

The Indonesian / Indian items in the corner of the Lido (including sambal and lime pickle! on the condiment tray) was an absolute game changer for me; easily the best food available on the ship aside from maybe a nice steak at Pinnacle. I ate it almost daily for lunch and it saved my life lol

The Tamarind coconut pineapple seafoam dessert thing, my god. Also I tried escargot for the first time and it was delicious, thank you Joco for expanding my horizons.

I've been saying that RJ City and Dalton Castle would be great additions to the cruise.

Dinner: the chicken. Every bit of chicken I had was the best seasoned chicken I’ve ever had. Dessert: the tulip chocolate thing, looked like Audrey 2, tasted amazing.

Easily Pinnacle Bacon

Gawd pinnacle bacon is so. good.
