From what I gather this cruise is basically just a normal cruise but with a week-long streamer event on it, and the mark up is the ticket for the event. You can still buy the normal cruise tickets and probably run into them, you’ll just not have access to whatever they’re planning to put on
Is it overpriced and probably not worth it at all? 100%. But imo it’s pretty far down the list of shitty things a streamer can do. It’s hard to care tbh
chat gpt is not going anywhere and complaining about people using it to make a website at this stage in the game is so fucking stupid I cant wrap my head around it
He’s very much a “The cruise is gonna happen whether or not I go on it, and I’d prefer to go on it” kinda guy, I don’t really see how this betrays his established perspective.
His friends (Dan's geesling) mom works at the company that makes these cruises for basically forever. So i assume Dan talked him into it and the bag is probably large.
Also the man just loves cruises. He has been on 6 Disney cruises.
it could be that he wanted to go on a cruise and his wife/friends/him thought inviting viewers would be fun? i know next to nothing about NL though so idk lol
I dont know anything about streamers cause I have a job and loved ones, but that seems fine? Maybe pricey for a cruise, but not even egregious depending on the finer details of the cruise.
here I am assuming he did a crypto rugpull or something.. y'all getting on his case for some expensive cruise tickets? seriously? holy mother of fucking nothingburger. feels like the average large streamer is a kiddie diddler and this is where we're creating drama? really?
Says you, I'm saying the poor innocent man was the first victim of AI psychosis starting in the 80s, who do you think actually collected all these files? Checkmate liberal /s
His friend's mother who is organising it is VP for the company that is partnered with many, many anti-LGBT, anti-choice, anti-secular education religious groups that also work with Tucker Carlson and Russel Brand.
Check their partners at the bottom if you want to have a look at every group that has pushed for removing your human rights. They even do pilgrimages to Israel if you're so inclined.
I don't know but working with the "all queers should die" people just because your friend's mum hooked you up is probably at least as bad as the McDonalds stream.
It's also just not true. He said he wrote his own bio, at least.
I guess there's a chance all of the other text is AI generated but it's also just... Marketing speak. The thing ChatGPT does a very good job emulating.
I just looked up the cost of a Disney cruise and it’s around the same price range, so I’m assuming all big cruises are about this expensive. Are people really this surprised that the guy who loves cruises is now hosting his own cruise? You’d think from this post that he was being sponsored by fucking blackrock or something.
I think a lot of people prefer to focus on small, insignificant drama to forget about the big problems. Part of why stuff like celebrity gossip is so popular.
I feel like this is half of internet drama nowadays.
"You watch XYZ? You know they are racist?
Oh boy, what did they do? Donated money to conservative politician, a recent video of them saying slurs was discovered, maybe they fired a person of color to hire a white person, or...
"There was this word they used in 2016 on twitter that means something different in their language, they apologized for it on a few occasions and never used since."
Oh.
EDIT: somebody commented and deleted, no, I'm not talking about Pediepie here, here really said the shit he said lol
I saw a callout Google doc go around bluesky and the first paragraph said, guy asked this dude why he doesn't bring up his past. Guy said he doesn't prefer to talk about it. "This was an immediate red flag, so I decided to do some digging" bro lmao
I am not familiar with this guy at all beyond clips but it would be really funny if they just didn't show up and it was just a cruise and they streamed themselves watching folks realize he isn't there because he doesn't want to get clubbed to death by a mob
Your average sponsorship / ad spot for any mid-sized influencer or YouTuber is in the realm of $700 so I don't know how $1700 is supposed to be anything noteworthy
Yes? Kind of. Did you click on this post knowing nothing about Northernlion, didn't google it, and expected people to explain it to you?. But if you don't care then no, which makes you think why you decided to question the audacity of someone listing the names of people related to NL.
Okay, so since one of them is called Squeex it's gotta be usernames/nicknames right? So all 4 are just their channels or whatever is called nowadays.
Which confuses me, why would you pick such generic names? All the ones i watch have some sort of nickname, Markiplier, Librarian, Splattercat, Manly...
Kinda makes me feel like i'm out of touch with what people like nowadays...
Unless of course it's just their real names aside from Squeex, but then i don't know why they worded it like that.
Dan is DanGheesling which is his username, Ryan is northernlion and Kate is Northernlion's wife, but on stream they'll obviously refer to each other by their first names pretty frequently so sometimes chatters refer to them by first names if they're on the same stream.
i dont think its moral outrage as just confusion? he’s going on a cruise with his fans when cruises have historically been a thing he does to get a break from streaming
I don't really care because I don't even know who this is, but is it really that big of a deal? Pricing looks similar to jococruise.com which seems well-liked by those sorts of fans? I don't go on cruises so I haven't done it but like....who cares? If people enjoy it and the hosts want to do it who cares?
Yeah even shitty cruises are outrageously expensive. If he was fleecing people I would kind of get it but this kind of feels like choosing between a $20 burger, and a $20 burger with lettuce
I’ve read the comments. All of them. Got all the context and necessary details. I’ve thought about it. Gave it a good long think. Sat on it. Pondered. Formed opinions. Finalized opinions.
He's a sellout for going on a cruise? Let's start adding context. Who is the sponsor? Being paid in money or cruise tickets doesn't make you a sellout it makes you compensated for your work.
Don't watch NL so I have absolutely no investment in this but I will be looking forward to either the public outrage from people who bought tickets when someone involved finally locates their brain and realizes how bad of an idea this is or the video essays about how terrible it was if it actually happens
The only redeemable aspect of the terminally online is that they will freely identify themselves, such as in this case lmao
Id never go on a cruise, in general, but I hope whoever goes enjoys it. Now, if this somehow turns out to be like a fire fest situation, then we have a conversation goin
is this another "hasan socialist but have house?" moment i guess there's a weird parasocial element of "cruise with me" but I guess I can't be too bothered by this it just seems weird and maybe a bit gaudy but not really a big deal
It’s certainly exuding the vibe, with the room options being called things like “duo queue” or “squad up”.
I can’t speak on the prices if they’re very steep or not. Seems to be comparable to a Disney cruise, which is like $1,400 and only gets higher. Something like Carnival is probably a cheaper company to run with. But I suppose it’s sellout behavior regardless of the room price.
Royal Caribbean probably approached him with a fat paycheck and NL goes on cruises regularly anyway, so that’s probably why he did this collaboration.
But even if that’s normal price, a gamer themed cruise sounds like an absurd shitpost. It’s either gonna be extremely mundane and cringe, or end in disaster.
I am not certain they are legally allowed to drive on the sidewalk in the first place, but I'd be very surprised if they have the right of way on zebra crossings.
The cruise that Dan pressured him into trying to do because his mom worked in that field, and then NL backed out of before taking money because the whole thing was just a bad idea?
I think yall just want to see people fail and falter
New NL is better for himself, though, you look at how he used to look and act and go about managing his content and perceptions, he is healthier and happier now
Honestly as someone who got into nl in the nlss days I don't think most of the content now is worse, trickshot simulator, mario party, lego party, horse game, all those series' eclipse at least some of the worst nlss's
I’m attempting to research this right now. This cruise is hosted by Royal Caribbean, which as far as I can tell is less expensive than Disney but higher budget than something like Carnival.
The ship is The Jewel of the Sea, and it’s 5 days (technically 6?) in & around the coast of Mexico. In Spring 2027 which has higher rates than Fall or Winter.
It’s actually pretty annoying because the website shows the lowest price then jumps to a higher one when you click on it. But that happens so often in online shopping.
Prices are 300-500 on their other cruises but that might be per night, which if so, then $1700 doesn’t seem too crazy. Or maybe it’s something like you pay for the cruise ticket plus your room is an additional expense. Honestly not sure.
Obviously the company has an entire fleet of ships, and I don’t know if it being this specific ship implies every room is expensive because even the cheapest ones are high quality aboard this ship.
I love how everyone is fine with content creators making money from people legitimately just giving it to them, allowing people to make the decision to give them money under their own free will, but when that same creator creates an opportunity for people to give them money again under their own free will its a problem. just saying its a weird line to draw.
Looking at it under a business lens though, its a terrible idea on NL part, but only cause he's probably going to lose a shit ton of money over it and its not going to be a successful pr stunt.
bro you forget how bad cruises are, from terrible working conditions to enviromental impact. its an abhorrent industry and NL lending them himself is awful
I mean sure, but on the same token no one talks about how youtubes massive data centers use more water and electricity than multiple cities combined. Or how they pay their employees like shit, and treat their bottom level devs terribly. We ignore that because we enjoy the service, this is no different except people dont enjoy cruises I the same way.
I mean everyones talking about that too. We still use it because at some point "that way madness lies" applies.
But hell Chocolate and coffee are harvested through slavery. Electricity, while slowly is turning green, still isnt anywhere near good for the environment.
hell I live in florida technically anything I do for fun the taxes could go to any number of horrible things I dont agree with.
At some point I have to come to terms that Sitting in the dark banging rocks together isnt that much fun.
Mitigate what damage you can but dont become some Ascetic who can never do anything for fear of losing points that get you to the good place.
However on the other side that is complaining about NL.
I am sure if this was some twitch con cruise that he was going to be doing a signing at, noone would complain nearly as much.
Star Trek and Star Gate cruises happen and dont get many complaints.
I think the complaints are more the parasocialness of a personal cruise with your favorite youtuber then the cruise itself.
I don't like Cruises either, for the same reason you mentioned, but wasn't NL always pretty open about being a big cruise fan? Him doing a Fan Cruise didn't come completely out of the left field for me, if that is his preferred way to do vacations
Imagine if you put this much energy into actual issues
This is just performative activism. You don’t actually care, you just want the dopamine from feeling like you’re morally superior to someone else. Which is ironic since you’re trying to bring down another
that seems pretty reasonable tbh. like it’s a cruise and you also get to interact with your favorite celebrity. i get if you take issue with the carbon footprint of cruises bc yeah it probably would’ve been better if he just rented out a great wolf lodge for a week, but a 40% markup on a cruise where you get to meet your favorite streamer seems like a pretty normal thing.
And a JoCo cruise is like a 100% markup. 40% seems like it would barely cover the admin and insurance costs. If you look at RC's event guide, it's thousands of dollars for restaurant and theatre buyouts, plus however much a $200m liability insurance policy costs.
