Onboard Printed And Digital Content

Front page of Daily Schedule flyer from Day 1 of JoCo Cruise 2026

JoCo Cruise has produced a variety of printed and digital content over the years.

For a number of years, there was a daily newsletter delivered to each stateroom, titled, "The Seamonkey." When JoCo Cruise returned to Holland America Line in 2017, this publication merged with HAL's daily "Where & When" publication and eventually "The Seamonkey" title was retired (in tandem with the community's decision to retire the same term in reference to JoCo Cruise attendees).

More recently, JoCo Cruise has published a single page "Daily Schedule" flyer in tandem with written content published on a custom Twit-arr forum category called Splashdot.

This page acts as a main archive of the printed and digital content JoCo Cruise has published onboard each year.

JoCo Cruise 2026

During the 2026 cruise, the Cruise Media team changed the format of the digital Splashdot publication to release articles as individual Twit-arr forums instead of releasing a single forum per day. Some of these articles were published in whole or in part in the Daily Schedule Flyers
