J-14's Nick Cruise winner's diary!

winnerphoto.jpg

Lucky reader, Meg Rojahn, won J-14's "Win A Nickelodeon Family Cruise" contest, and she was so excited to share her experience with other readers! From August 9-16, Meg and her fam joined True Jackson, VP's Keke Palmer, Ashley Argota, and Matt Shively on the Freedom of the Seas cruise around the Eastern Caribbean! Check out Meg's cruise diary below!

This ship is the biggest thing I've ever seen! We stayed on deck 8 (out of 14!) The ship has three pools, the Promenade with a Ben and Jerry's, an ice skating rink, a three-story dining room, and lots of lounges. I don't know how it floated!

After dinner in the dining room and a little exploring with my mom and two brothers, we went to the "Big First Day Show" -- that's when we first got to see Matt Shively and Ashley Argota! Matt said he was super excited for the inflatable slide at Coco Cay the next day. I didn't see him there, because I signed up for snorkeling instead of the slide, and I ended up seeing a stingray, lots of fish, and a cute baby shark! That night, I met Ashley! She was super nice and took a picture with all of us non-famous people who were talking outside of their karaoke booth -- she sang "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!"

On day three, we had an "Ultimate Nickelodeon Photo Op." We took pics with Dora, Diego, Spongebob Squarepants, and Patrick -- and then we got slimed! It tasted really bad but was so much fun! The next day, we decided to get ice cream on the pool deck, and we wound up walking right past Keke Palmer! She took a picture with me and gave me an autograph! Keke was looking for the ship's Johnny Rockets restaurant when we ran into her.

We went to San Juan, Puerto Rico, on day five, and my family saw an old church that was really neat, and later we watched Imagine That. But the coolest part of that day -- and possibly the coolest part of the trip -- was the big circus parade down the ship's promenade! The casts of all the ship's shows dressed up like animals and circus people! On day six, I went to a meet-and-greet for the cast of True Jackson, VP and Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob Squarepants, at 9:30 a.m. When I got to the front of the line, I saw Keke and Ashley -- and they both remembered me! Then I got to officially meet Matt for the first time. He is even cuter in real life! I gave him a big hug and took a picture with the three of them (that's me on the right!). Later that afternoon, we watched an episode of True Jackson with Ashley, Matt, and Keke -- it was awesome to get to hear them joke around in real life. We were in Nassau, Bahamas, on our last day. Mom and I went shopping, and I got a really pretty Tanzinite necklace. When we got back to the ship, we went to the pool, and mom went to get ice cream again -- and bumped into Matt! He signed my notebook, too. Ice cream turned out to be a good thing for us -- we met a Famous person each time!

I had such a great time and was so sad to see it end!

Love,
J-14 reader Meg Rojahn

Nick Family Cruise: Jennette's Zip Line Adventure!

JennetteCruise.jpg

J-14 heard rumors that Jennette McCurdy was headed for a zip lining excursion in Mazatlan, Mexico, so we were psyched to hear all about it when she got back on the ship during the Nick Family Cruise! "I think zip lining was pretty spectacular -- the view is great," Jennette tells J-14. "It wasn't as scary as I anticipated. I was pretty scared leading up to it. Then once I did the first one, I was like, 'Oh, okay!" That's a pretty big deal - Jennette's afraid of heights, but she's trying to get over it by going on rollercoasters and trying out new things, like the zip lines!

Jennette wanted to tell you all about her zip line adventure herself, so check out her video below!

Do you have a phobia, like being afraid of heights? What have you done to help get over your fear? What do you think of Jennette's zip lining excursion?

Nick Family Cruise: Nathan, Keke, and Jennette's Fave Things On The Ship!

nickcruisekids.jpg

Sailing on the Mariner of the Seas as part of the Nick Family Cruise was so much fun, we just had to ask Nathan Kress, Keke Palmer, and Jennette McCurdy what their absolute fave parts about being on the ship. J-14 just loved being out at sea (the water was so blue!). So what'd the Nick stars think of the high seas?

Nathan loved hanging with his bros. "Besides getting to meet the fans, the family time has been awesome. This is the first time my family has been together since the beginning of the year because [my brothers] are all going off to college and being counselors at summer camps. It's been a little bit of a mini reunion this week."

Like J-14, Keke loved just sailing! "My favorite part of the cruise was waking up every day, looking out the window, and seeing that I'm actually in a ship with water outside my window. That's just cool to wake up and see."

Jennette loved meeting iCarly fans. "The meet and greets were my favorite part. It's really amazing that all these people who come on the cruise show up [to meet us]. It stinks that it has to be so brief!"

What are your fave things to do during the summer? If you've been on a cruise, what was your fave part of the ship?

KekeCruise.jpg




J-14 ran into True Jackson, VP'sKeke Palmer right after breakfast at the Windjammer Cafe on the Nick Family Cruise, and she told us that she was excited to head off the boat. We were in Mazatlan, on the West Coast of Mexico, a tourist town full of beaches and small shops. When we met up with her back on the boat that afternoon, we totally understood why she was so psyched. Check out all the things she got to do in one day, plus what she had in store for the next day's excursion (hint: iCarly's Jennette McCurdy did this too!).

What excursions would you want to do on a cruise? If you could hang out with Keke for a day, what activities would you want to do?

J-14 Hangs with Keke, Jennette, and Nathan on the Nick Family Cruise!

IMG_2025.JPG

Hey J-14ers!

The Nickelodeon Family Cruise is almost over (tear!), but it's been a blast hanging out with iCarly's Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress plus True Jackson VP's Keke Palmer.

It's been an awesome week traveling from Los Angeles to Mexico and back again - Jennette and Keke both got to go on zip lines, explore Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, and do meet and greets with Nick fans. Jennette looked sleepy and happy when we caught up with her after her zip line excursion - she went down 9 of them! We've hung out with all three Nick stars after their welcome show, between filming for Nick, and even checked out the awesome outfits the girls get to wear (I am completely jealous and ready to raid Jennette's closet). During their filming today, Keke and Jennette even broke out into song, belting out Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" - talk about a girl power anthem!

Tons of pictures and videos will be heading your way next week, but I wanted to let you guys know how cool it's been to hang out on board Royal Carribean's Mariner of the Seas cruise ship and learn all about Mexican culture on shore, from big port cities to small villages - Puerto Vallarta even had a Wal-Mart, just like back home! Check back next week for lots of insider deets on the awesome Nick Family Cruise!

Did you get to hang out on the Nick Family Cruise or are you going on the one next week? Have you gone on a cruise before? What's your fave fam vacay been like? And if you could hang out with Jennette, Nathan, and Keke on a cruise, what fun things would you want to do?
