Think it’s high time to get a life Ben.

I ben we are enjoying your great videos We live in Perth Western Australia and are going on the Norwegian Dawn next July 10 days around Ireland do you know the types of beers they serve on tap as at the pool bars or Irish bar as a totally beer drinker would be good to know thanks ben keep up the good work

Hi, Ben! This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I love your enthusiasm and energy! I also love that you didn't research the ship, so that everything you saw would be a surprise. Great concept, and you were nice enough to take us along. I'll watch a lot more of your videos, to be sure!

Ben, I think I have whiplash from watching your video! Please slow down your panning and stop so we can focus on items (for example, anything written, like menus, and also food items). I didn't feel like I was on vacation, rather I felt like I was late for work. Q: Does the ship have specific solo cabins? Did you have to pay a single supplement for your cabin?

I was on the NCL Dawn last year. Loved the ship.

Hi I live just across the water from the cruise terminal in Hythe,I was wondering if you are the same Ben I was speaking to in Southampton NCL office, love your videos plenty of information.Cheers Gary.

I have sailed several lines, and Norwegian was neither good nor bad. It's just that nothing stood out to me. My last 10 cruises have been with MSC, and I have been impressed each and every time. I am friends on social media with a lot of the crew that I've met, and they remember me each time and overall, you can't beat the value that MSC provides. Plus, their ships are stunning!

I will never understand the negative reviews of MSC. My past 9 or 10 cruises have been with them, and I won't even consider another cruise line. I've been on Divina four times and you're correct - she's absolutely the most beautiful, elegant ship. MSC for Me!

that's mick the suit guy. he has 999 suits custom made of weird things. he has his own youtube channel and is very famous. apparently a wealthy brit who lives in fl. i like his vids. he is certainly eccentric but I like him.

Ahhh the NCL Dawn. I have such an interesting history with that ship. My very first cruise was taken on the NCL Dawn and I absolutely loved it. But, if you were to look up on google "NCL cruise ship runs aground in Bermuda" you will find when the NCL Dawn hit the coral reefs and sat on top of the reefs in Bermuda back in 2015. I was on that sailing and it was quite an experience.

As always, great video! I'm looking forward to your port experiences.

I'm going solo on NCL Prima in October for my first cruise. Can't wait!

Im 78 and mobility challenged. Sign me up. Call me crazy, but i might not even get off the ship . I should have gone when i could still walj. But. Reading, hearing shows, making new friends, playing cards or. Ccribbage , meals and spa treatments. Idbe thrilled to travel alone😅😅😅😅🎉🎉

Is there a reason you don’t suggest cruise excursions? Also good for solo travelers.

Sorry you missed Brugge. I took an excursion from an NCL cruise and absolutely loved it. It’s one of my favorite cities.

Don' t worry about sea days--you always make it interesting. I love old ships. You know you are on a ship. Not in a shopping mall! My favorite is Celebrity Constellation...She is a.lovely older ship.with some fun art and just good vibes.

please get a gimble and don't jerk the camera around so much, spin around; makes me nauseous, thanks

Back in 1985, I was a college student in England. We took a trip to Ireland on a Sealink ship. It was the worst trip ever! The seas were very rough. As the ship rocked and rolled, passengers were sitting on the floor outside of the restrooms, taking turns to run in and get sick. I was of drinking age, so I sat at the bar drinking Baileys Irish Cream and not having a bit of trouble. 😂

What did you do when you worked on cruise ships? I also feel that you provided good information about picking a ship and itineraries on a sea day.

i am very affected by the weather. i like temperate partly cloudy best. perhaps that's why my ancestors immigrated to the usa. what is the name of that funny stove they have in your kitchens? something like and auger?

Solo Balcony Southampton to Miami in December. Very good upfront price, I guess that you just need to be disciplined regarding your onboard spend. I appreciate your positive energy.

Love that you like the solo cruisers!!! ❤😉🎉🧳🚢🛳️

Hows things in UK?

❤🎉

How exciting! I'm so happy for you. Cant wait for Dublin 😀. Thanks again Ben!🎉

Hi Ben, I understand that sea days aren't the best for content, but you always make them fun and entertaining!

You are so cute to be worried and probably overdressed for a Latitudes party. Enjoy all of it Ben - we're living through you!

FYI You can accelerate point earnings by booking certain cruises marked in Latitudes. Pretty easy to skip right over Silver level and earn Gold.

Where and when did you learn Chinese?very impressed with your spoken abilities. Did you teach English in China?

In a foreign country you are required to have your passport on you at all times. Not sure if a photocopy or a pic on your phone is good enough.

Also love your expressing your gratitude.

Stop and chat with locals!

We just joined your channel. Love your content. We wondered where you went to college, with such well spoken comments. Aha! You’re an English teacher! So you travel on vacations? But you were a crew member somewhere. Where’s your story. Didn’t get to see your ride on the Prima’s racetrack. Keep up your good work. If you’re hungry, no reason to not get a coffee on your hikes!😅

I love your always cheery attitude

Thank you for sharing another great day, Ben!

Ben, I am looking forward to another great Cruise Vacation!

I love your positive attitude! I spent 21 days aboard NCL Dawn and plan to sail her again from Mauritius to Doha in December. Hope to have a better experience.

You should consider coming to Canada for the New England - Canada cruises on the Sky. I'm doing a B2B from Quebec City starting on Sept. 18th. They dropped the solo supplement!

Hey Ben, I’ve just stumbled across your channel and I’m so glad I did. The one thing that stands out to me is how genuine you seem, and how positive you are even when things aren’t great. I have also done quite a few solo cruises, and I’ve really enjoyed comparing notes. All my best, I look forward to more content, and I’ll make sure to say Hi if I ever run into you on a ship.

Thanks for sharing your lovely experiences and educating us. They keep the passengers entertained compared some other ships.

You looked great for your cocktail party! I like sea days if the sea is calm. I really want to do a long repositioning. Cruz, but i'm afraid of the bad weather somewhere in the middle of the ocean... And I can't swim...haha... But there is something so mesmerizing and peaceful about sitting on your balcony, and just looking out over the water to the horizon... Ohh and those sunrises and sunsets can't be beat.!

Another good video. I think you looked just perfect for a cocktail party. Not the kind of party I expected either, but still interesting. Thanks.

Thanks Ben, love that you take us along! Great adventure just going where you go 😂

Hi Ben! I just finished my very first cruise last week, a 17 day Greenland and Newfoundland cruise, and I went solo and it was the best experience! I just found your channel a couple days ago and I'm so enjoying watching you, as much of what you speak about reminds me of the many amazing experiences I had and I love how you are so grateful, as I can totally relate! Looking forward to continuing to watch your channel and plan for my next cruise, as well!!!🥳
