GOOD afternoon ben and david! i l ilve thru your eyes since i am a senior and suffer from anxiety sending much love from your adopted gram in Ct xoxo
"The ship is really moving... Oh we're in port!" LOL 😅😅😂
David "getting a taste of David's sausage!" I'm dead! I'm still giggling!! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🤮 🤮 gross
@@LVPB Homophobic hater!!
“Doesn’t taste like what jt looks like” is exactly my thoughts on many “sausages”. 😅
@@LVPBoh grow a sense of humor. Life suck less when you suck more.
He said "STAB ME WITH A FORK & CALL ME A MICROWAVE" 😂😂😂😂😂
Good one guys!!
Yep didn’t get that one 🤷♀️
They need to make a video of all of Ben’s food comments.
Hahaha. I had to laugh about u dropping ur medallion through the hole on the lift (elevator in America). When I was 16 me, my cousin and my best friend went to Myrtle Beach in SC to a nursing conference with my mom. She was at the conference and we were going to go out to eat. When we got on the elevator I dropped the keys (the only keys) down that hole. We freaked out. Didn't know what we were going to do. That's when we found out that they could stop the elevator on a higher floor and go through the basement to get the keys. We didn't tell my mom about it for years....lol.
I love that saucy smirk Ben gives when he's tossed off a cheeky remark. 😂😂😂😂
Yes 😂
I find the lack of veggie options really frustrating- I recently sailed with NCL and quite often there would be no veggie options on their entire dinner menu. They said they could make adjustments to the meat options but most of the time all they could do was give me a plate of veggies with some fruit for pudding. It was very disappointing especially as we were in the haven. My mum pointed out that lots of meat eaters like to eat veggie every now and again too, so it makes no sense not to provide a veggie choice!!
Stay homr.
It must be even worse for vegans. My first vegan meal was at a place called On The Eighth Day on Oxford road, Manchester, uk. Back in the 1970s. It consisted of spring (bitter, dark green) cabbage with a neat soy sauce dressing. That put me off vegan ever since ;)
Your guys humor has me laughing out loud. 🤣
SAUSAGE 😂
Having watched them for a couple years now, I've decided they're so effective since they're a modern version of the comic team Laurel and Hardy.
I loved Cartagena, (Cart-a- hay-na). I thought it was beautiful. I sat and enjoyed a cigar while just soaking it all in. I was solo, I got lost, (I have a a cognitive impairment that sometimes causes forgetfulness and disorientation), and accidentally came across an ancient coliseum. But I was prepared with a map downloaded to my phone, and it got me back.
It’s actually “car-tuh-hay-nah”. There is no “y” sound at the end since the “n” is merely an “n” and not an “ñ” or “enyay”.
@@bettygreenhansen OK. I fixed it.
@@Lord.Kiltridge perfect!
I wish they'd make some effort to learn to pronounce the names of the places they visit. They went to Puerto Rico and called the city "San Joo-Ann" 😂
Hi Ben and David - I cannot believe it I’ve had my medication already and your notification bell flashed up so I can watch your Vlog/video video straight away - I’m just saying hello now in case I don’t get a chance later if one of the carers or nurses comes in - as you know I love my Sunday nights because you can always make me smile and feel better - I hope you had a good week - I’m not too bad just my multiple Sclerosis has flared up so I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow - I’m going to start watching your Vlog/video. Have a good week. Thanks once again for all your hard work and putting the Vlog/video up - sending loads of love and loads of hugs to you both. ~ Xxx Xxx
Hello Louise. I watch Ben and David too they are such good fun and I always find myself laughing. I hope your health is improving take care. Lots of good wishes to you x Jo
Louise, I understand why you enjoy watching cruise blogs like this in spite of your medical issues. I have them too, but i love Ben and David! Please take care and have a good day.
❤
Car-tah- HAY-nah
Always take care of your medalion
Between david sausage and the dessert I think this might be the cruise for adults😂😂only.
The funniest B&D breakfast, ever. Made my day. Thanks, guys.
2007, checked into a hotel in Paris very close to the Eiffel Tower. They handed me an old fashioned metal key on a key chain with a big brass fob. And I promptly dropped it down the crack going into the elevator. Si bête.
Losing stuff via the narrow gap of the elevator actually happens to more people than you think. It happened to me before too. 😂
Surprised David doesn't use the wristband option to contain the medallion or a lanyard/necklace style.
David cracked me up when you said where is O’Malley’s pub, and he answers in Ireland 🤣😂🤣👏
I visited Cartagena (Cart - A - Hen - Yah) in 2016 on a transatlantic cruise. I went to the Roman Amphitheatre, which was only discovered in the 1980s. It was spectacular! Do go there next time you are in Cartagena.
Ah not yah, it’s a normal n not a ñ.
Really enjoyed this one - it looks like Princess have done really well with the venues on this ship - it looks so refreshingly different to the rest of their fleet. It's a shame that they've launched the ship without all of the entertainment being 'good to go', but I'll be excited to see what comes in due course!
I am so happy you enjoyed the taste of David's sausage 😂. Those Bento boxes looked amazing ❤
haha
OMG, you guys crack me up. Watching you at breakfast, then having drinks by the pool and getting lost on the ship. 😂
You 2 are one of my favorite parts of Sunday!❤
😍
I would love to see yall do all inclusive resorts too 😊 I love watching yall❤
Between your cheeky puns laden Breakfast and you getting lost in the ship, you two are hilarious. I appreciate your honest review. ❤
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DAVID!!!
Since I was little watching "The Love Boat," I have dreamt of going on a cruise. I still have yet to make this bucket list happen...but you have convinced me that my first cruise should be on the Sun Princess. Thank you for the details! Looks like the two of you had such a fun & great time!!
We travel Princess a lot as our preferred line, and they play The Love Boat series on the telly on all the ships we've been on. It's quite nostalgic. We actually sailed on the original love boat for its final cruise out of Australia. It was a small ship, 500 guests, and no children.
The balcony was large with the depth for chaise lounges. Whereas these days you're lucky to get a couple of small seats with little leg room. The rest of the ship was a delight, not exactly like the show, but enough to feel sad that it was being sold off. The ships are getting too big for us.
I watched Love Boat as a kid as well. I’ve been on one cruise. It was a Caribbean cruise on Norwegian about 25 years ago. It’s not all that great honestly. The food was great, but that got old. There is a lot to do if you like getting drunk, eating too much, cheesey live shows, gambling, crowded swimming pools and shopping. I’m not a fan of any of that. Every single stop I wanted to stay off the ship as much as possible and dreaded going back on. Guess it depends on what you like to do on vacations. I do enjoy watching other people take cruises though. Go figure! 😂
This made me literally laugh out loud. Absolutely love and look forward to your videos!
You are hilarious today, I love your breakfast description…
The ship should have an onboard GPS system.
You guys crack me up! Such wonderful senses of humor! 😂 I found your channel a few months ago leading up to our cruise on NCL Prima. Our cruise was month’s ago, but as soon as I see you post a video I watch it! Thank you!
Tiddly Ben is a great addition to the channel. Once again a great video.
That was a great and very fair review guys! Thank you both.
Bad boy! They probably need to take on some provisions for the rest of your cruise. Hope you had a lovely time. Happy Birthday David, may you have many more, may you life be filled with love ,joy and many more cruises.😊
Thanks! You all are so much fun- truly great content and editing! 😊
Nothing better than watching your cruise videos while on a cruise! Keep making great cruising content!
Looks like you two really enjoyed this cruise and this ship. You both are so enjoyable to follow. Appreciate your honesty. Love your dialogue.
Glad you had a good time
Good afternoon David and Ben. Look forward to crusing with you on Sunday. Breakfast looked delicious. Love the humor and smiles. You lifted my spirits. Love to you both, and God bless you.
Enjoy your review as always, and Ben’s polo shirt looks awesome!
Terrific review!! You are both so good at giving us the best information about the ships!!
Happy birthday David!!
Thank you Ben and David for this very informative review. I’ll be sailing on the Sun Princess in February and can’t wait.
Happy Birthday, David!
HP Sauce rocks. It is available in Canada and we always have some in the cupboard! Carta hayne ya.
Happy Birthday David and as usual a great video.
First happy birthday David! now a great watch to be sure
I think they launched the ship to soon. There is so much thats not ready. I'm sorry, but if your paying full price for your cruise. Everything that the shipoffets should ready.
I love your videos. Your humor is so enjoyable and just the best! Cheers!
LoL at getting lost trying to get to the Sanctuary. I LOL’d! 😅
Happy Birthday David🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh my!!! This is the cruise!! I know everything was not ready… but I hope you do this one again soon!
On my tv the food looked delicious !!
Happy cruising😊
HUGE SHIP!!
I now watch for Miranda references and I got a Little Britain reference as a bonus!
🎉 ❤ 🎁 Happy Birthday, David! 🎈🥂🍾🎈 Great cruise review, too.
Thanks for your great review by the way!! Your vlogs are first rate.
Another great video guys! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!❤
Thanks for the review! 😊
You two are my favorite cruise reviewers. I always find myself laughing at your antics, but more importantly you both treat each other with love and respect. I love that!!! Thank you for all your great videos.
I look forward to each and every video!! I appreciate all that you do!! You are true professionals and provide the best reviews!! Love your humor and style!! (It was a treat to see this early with my daughter!) 😊❤
Hi Ben and David... Oh my gosh Ben, going to try David's sausage!! 😄. Then to open your breakfast pastry, lol. Beautiful port! I think it's a shame they launch a new ship and it's not completely finished yet. Princess isn't the only one who does that but it seems like a lot of things weren't ready. Always appreciate your honest thoughts and reviews. As always thank you for all you do and the hard work to put these videos together. ❤❤
Great video as usual!
Hey Ben and David. Happy Sunday. Always appreciate your reviews. This ship is definitely on our list. Thanks for the scoop on how to get to the sanctuary. Hope you guys having an amazing weekend celebrating David’s birthday 🤗🎉🎈🎊🎁🎂. Have a great week 🤗
Love you guys, booked our first ever cruise for next year on Princess, keep up the great vids 🙂 x
This review cracked me up, you both are hilarious. Love to watch/hear your comments while eating. It was a pleasure meeting you at the arena theater. Linda
I hope you can review her again in the future when everything is completed. Maybe the 14 day cruise on March 1, 2025 would be a good time to go again.
That is when we will be on her. 😂
Thanks for doing what you do! Not only do you provide so much helpful information, but you are definitely the most entertaining CZcamsrs we have seen!
Hi Ben and David, kar- tuh-hay-na is the closest in English. I love 5he decor of your cabin in this vlog. It looks lovely! Love the ship too. ❤
I liked all the video, you make me happy. I will never go on a cruise but I live seing you having fun. I especially liked the end of the video when you comment and seeing shots of you enjoying a moment of relaxation on the deck and having a meal . It is a nice finish.
Happy birthday David. Love watching your videos prior to going on different cruises and cruise lines.
We visited Cartagena on our first Mediterranean cruise and it was definitely one of the nicest places to visit . It looked very clean , well looked after and just a lovely historical place to visit . 😊
You know, even though I’ve never been on a cruise and not sure I ever will, I still enjoy watching you guys. Love the food bits, innuendos and puns.
You guys are my new favorite travel CZcamsrs! Just discovered you and thoroughly enjoying your videos. Thanks for your humor and your honesty.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Can’t wait to sail on the Sun! Great review! Looks amazing, classy, and fun!
Have you ever taken a Viking Cruise? It’s all inclusive and the food is amazing. There are enrichment lectures and great entertainment like a jazz combo and a guitarist. Room service is also excellent. No children on board. No nickle and dimeing you. The only thing I paid for was massages and those were $50 an hour.
That I might do. It’s pretty expensive as a solo, though. I looked into it three or four years ago.
@birbluv9595 yes, I bumped into Ben and David just as cruising was restarting after the pandemic and they were saying they had just been on Viking, and MSC Virtuosa before that. There is a vlog somewhere...2021 maybe?
Just got back from a crossing on Viking - San Juan, Puerto Rico to Barcelona. Loved every minute of it.
Great show guys, just booked our first ever cruise for next year 🙂🙂🙂Xx
I think it’s a great idea to limit your choices for breakfast in the main dining room. Gets you in and out quick on a port day and if you want more variety hit the Eatery!!!
Yes, but instead of cutting out oatmeal, they should cut out bacon and sausage! That way I would have something to eat and those who normally eat a lot of meat could give thier arteries a brief break maybe. ;)
I would say if you are in a hurry go to the eatery- leave the dining room for those of us who do not want to"express" breakfast
Happy Happy Birthday🎉
Thank you!! I am cruising with you two(in my mind).Please continue on!!!I appreciate you so much!!
Great again guys - you crack me up with that 'tour' trying to find the sanctuary when you went around the corner and said 'oh there's the entrance and the guy closed the door!'
We had so enjoy you and had so much faith.
Thank you for the review.
David - don't feel bad about losing your medallion in the elevator. I had the same thing happen to the keys to our rental car in Ireland. Watched with a sickening feeling as they slithered into the crack after I dropped them. Fortunately, a maintenance man from our hotel was kind enough to fish them out for me.
Thoroughly enjoyed
Oh my gosh .. you guys are the best ❤😂❤
Thank you for the video
Great video, boys. Looking forward to reviewing our first Sphere-class itinerary this year.
We are on this cruise. Hope to catch up if we see you wandering around. Been following your presentations for months, Steve & Denise
Thank you so much for another wonderful video and for all the smiles and laughter while watching.!!! You two are just terrific!! Just wanted to say hello and let you know you truly brightened our day....always from california...
Thank you so much!
Great review thanks. The one extra thing I would have liked to have known (sorry if I missed it) was how full the ship was. It makes quite a difference to the experience we find, especially on a sea day. We're heading off tomorrow for our latest cruise on Sky Princess and this was a great reminder of what is to come :)
Hi Guys. We just booked a Jan 2025 cruise on that ship - Signature suite. You give the best/funniest/most informative review. Cheers !!!
Ben, love your shirt!!❤❤
Absolutely loved watching you both at breakfast … so fun to see ya being a little cheeky … had a wonderful giggle right along w you!! Thank you for all your hard work … I always look forward to hearing your view/review
Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us at breakfast, cheekiness and all! 😄🍳🚢
Belated Happy Birthday, David! Hope it was spectacular! ❤
Thank you! 😃
Thank you for a great review. This makes me want to go on the Sun Princess.
David that’s so funny about your medallion. One morning I was leaving my night shift as a nurse. I pulled my glove out of my pocket and bounce , bounce, bing the fob went down a storm drain.
Wouldn't be a Sunday without Ben and David.
I could listen to you both talk all day long! Those accents are so awesome. Where are they from? Great review!
It's pronunciation is Cart-eh-hen-yeah 😂 There's a movie that you guys can watch if you have time called Romancing the Stone with Micheal Douglas and Kathleen Turner. It was made in 84...but it's an all time favorite and I would live to see it ❤
Isn't that the Cartagena in Colombia, this is the one in Spain?
@@paulkeay5032 Um , I might be in the wrong place geographically speaking... lol. I don't think I remember hearing them say they were in spain.
@@paulkeay5032 Yeah they were definitely in columbia
@@paulkeay5032yep, they’ve just said they’re in Spain! (11:31)
HI Ben and David! Hope all is well! These videos just remind me why I started as a CZcams viewer and became a Patreon subscriber. Thanks again!
Love your review ❤
LOVE your videos, and especially LOVE your sense of humor!
A friend of mine is one of the production singers on the Sun Princess, and I know that they were working really hard to get the shows up as quickly as possible while making safety a priority. The theatres are always one of the last spaces to be completed on new ship constructions. And there is typically vital production equipment (usually still sitting in customs) that hasn’t made it to the ship in time for the first cruise. Then it takes forever to get that equipment to catch up with the ship in a future port.
Very nice review. Thanks.
Love you guys!!
