  • We cruised on the FIRST Norwegian Cruise Line Cruise in over 500 days! (Ad - Press Trip)
    The first 100 people to go to www.blinkist.com/ben&david are going to get unlimited access for 1 week to try it out. You'll also get 25% off if you want the full membership.
    We're on the Norwegian Jade Cruise ship from Athens, Greece on the very first test cruise. We talk about what's changed and what's the same as well as going through the new embarkation boarding procedure. Plus in this NCL Cruise Vlog we show you around our cabin, all the yummy food we tried and get to explore ports on our own which is so amazing after almost two years of not being able to!

      Meeting the staff on NCL is one of my favorite parts of cruising. Everyone is so fun and friendly. And even best of all, I can get to know people from all over the world. Can't wait to see you guys on this ship in December :)

    Really glad to see the hair drier, David will be needing that. The bathroom is perfect, you can have one sitting on the can, one is the shower and another brushing their teeth all in private. Greece is a fantastic place and Athens is wonderful. And it is clear test cruising is the way to go.

    An epic installment! I used to often tell CZcamsrs I enjoyed that they should go on television. I never say that anymore. Financially, there is no comparison. Even today television can be incredibly lucrative. But if you did a TV show you would lose much if not all of your control of your content. I would think twice, though the benefits may outweigh any disadvantages. Thank you for the video!

    I'm glad you enjoyed the whole experience! I'm very happy to see what the ocean view cabin looks like. I'll be on the Pearl next June in an ocean view cabin. I was worried about the size of the cabin, but it really isn't as bad as I was thinking it might be.

    So excited to watch your vlogs on this trip! This was the last ship we were supposed to sail on, in May of 2020, to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from High School. Three weeks in Europe (everyone’s first time there except for my husband), including a two week cruise on the Jade. So many sad hours that we didn’t get to go! Cruising the Caribbean later this month and again in October but can’t wait to try for Europe again! Have an amazing time on board and thank you for for all the wonderful videos you put out!!! ❤️
