Ben and David, I appreciate what you said about the American veterans. My daddy was a WW2 veteran. He served in the South Pacific. Thank you for your respect and kindness.
My uncle was in Normandy on D Day.. Thanks to all!
My my, that comment about the breakfast burrito being the best thing you had in your mouth in 25 minutes made me blush! 😂
😹😹😹😹
☺️
Ben and David, I also appreciate your kind words about the American veterans. My father was also a WWII veteran, who was at Pearl Harbor. Thank you for your respectful attendance at the celebration.
This is undoubtedly the best cruise channel on CZcams. I recommend it to everybody I know that loves cruising. You guys make it so much fun. Keep up the spectacular work.
We are always congratulated on Holland for being the youngest couple on board (early 50’s). The other passengers are usually fascinating company, Holland still has a real promenade deck, and the itineraries can be varied, unusual, and out of the way. We are platinum on Carnival but love Holland the most.
What interests me about Holland is the music walk
Just did the B & D Madeira excursion from the sky princess today. Walked off the ship and retraced your steps. Thanks for planning the perfect time for our short visit to the isle of Madeira!
Thank you for acknowledging veterans. My Dad was in the Canadian Black Watch in WW2 😊
Hi Guys. My hubby and I love Holland America. It is VERY ADULT! Not really for kids. It is very "PROPER". the staff used to wear the bellmen's cap and uniform. We loved it! Food is great and accommodations were lovely. We have not been on a cruise since November 2019 and we are aching to go! Discussing a trip to Bermuda, which we love.
I would love to see you guys make more Holland American cruises! Watching other vlogs and researching makes me pretty sure that that line would be the best fit for me. And needless to say that their food is the best of the affordable cruise lines according to reviews!
HAL has great itineraries, food, and service, and premium feel without the big price tag. Love the music walk and adult only seaview pool deck. Dive In Burgers are fantastic with a few veg options. The Dutch Cafe is not to be missed.
Your all’s editing and video quality is superb. Binge watching vids and noticing that these wouldn’t be out of place on TV.
Wow, thank you!
You guys are a riot - you brighten my day! Koningsdam is one of my favorite ships - wonderful variety of music venues... Great theater shows and fabulous food - you guys should try one of those Dam ships!
Yea it’s on our list of things to try!
Thanks for another terrifically entertaining, fun, and informative video. Always enjoy your adventures (and misadventures)… I am struck by how much Madeira, Portugal looks like Southern California!
Both are a Mediterranean climate
@@karenvonbargen4472 yes, I know. I live in west Los Angeles. What I am talking about are the mountains and the houses on the hillsides…the foliage…looks like parts of Southern California.
Just got off the Carnival Celebration, and wow, wow, wow.
Have always wanted to go to Spain and Portugal. It looks so lovely, and you both seem to be having a grand time. Note to self, starting psyching self for toboggan and lift rides 🎢🚡. Again, another excellent cruise vlog
About 20 years ago myself and a former partner (a new one now!) took a Costa Cruise of the Mediterranean (when the cruise line had an Italian crew) and we did the toboggan too. Great fun. Madeira was very beautiful with colorful flowers everywhere. Well done, you two.
Greetings from an Australian viewer currently in Istanbul!
We spent a week in Porto preCovid and our challenge was to find the cheapest espresso + pasteis de nata. 1€ for the two was the best we ever did!
Continue to enjoy yourselves
🎤"Proud to be the Friend of an Americann...!"
Great singing voice, David.😄Haha!
I was amused to see that flash of flesh when David leaned over exhausted on the steps in the garden :------>))
Yes definitely sail aboard the Koningsdam, we have sailed on her twice and it’s quite lovely. Deck 10 aft. Steps from the inside pool! ❤😊❤
Carnival's buffet is not the only thing wrong with them. Weather old ship or new ship I'll never lower myself to taking a Carnival.
So far haven't seen anything to change my mind to date !!!!!
I absolutely love Blue Iguana on Carnival.
Come to Grand Cayman and see the real ones , there is a great picture of Charles then Prince Of Wales with one
So much fun...loved the toboggan ride.
I'd love you to do an Alaskan cruise with Holland America! We are planning to do our first longer than 4 day cruise on Holland America to Alaska in 2025. Your review and opinion would be amazing!
Well 90 seconds in and we've learned what B & D do in the morning!
NOPE for me on the toboggan--I was screaming along with you guys! Loved the WWII tribute, and your version of "Proud to Be an American" song lyrics. Looks like great start to your cruise! Haven't tried Teppanyaki but your review makes me put it on my wish list! Also, the Celebration! Thanks for great segment!!
The toboggan ride is great fun! Glad you enjoyed it!
When we were in Funchal, my partner took the cable car up, but I got a taxi. No way I could do that. The tropical gardens are magical.
I told my daughter about both of you, and now she is watching your video's with me, Ben she love you, she thinks your so funny, and David we love you as wells
STOP IT! My filthy mind can’t take it much more!!! 😂😂😂 literally the first few minutes and I’m sniggering already!!
Also, we did the toboggan in 2016 and it was amazing! ❤ I got to video it so that made me happy to go back and watch it again!
David: I'm with you 100%. Sit me down with a blanket near a waterfall and I'd be happy there all day. Until I got hungry, course!
HAL is a great cruise line! Ships are not huge, they are relaxing and not a Carnival cruise for sure.
I have sailed on Holland America 4 times. We were very happy with the ship. Food was wonderful . Rooms were very comfortable. We are thinking of sailing with them in 2024.
Thank you Ben and David for this video of Madeira it takes me back 50 years to when I visited and the Toboggan ride was a cobbled road, so think yourselves lucky LOL X
I am currently on the HAL Koningsdam in the Mexican Riviera, on a seven day cruise! Their ships are lovely, their buffets are top of the line and their staff is superb!
We loved Madeira too, so pretty! Did the sailaway from the gym; beautiful scenery to distract us from the workout. We missed the toboggan ride; maybe next time. We did as awesome tour with up mount Madeira.
There is always next time ☺️
Great video!! We just booked a Celebrity cruise for the 28th of this month!! We are going to Orlando for business, so we figured why not hop on a ship! We live in the West Coast (Oregon), so we need a bit of sunshine & Vit D. Really wanting to book a trans Atlantic soon. The Celebration looks AMAZING! Thanks for getting my Sunday of to a fun start Ben & David.
Sounds wonderful Constance. Have a fab time.
Funny you should ask about the Koningsdam. My Wife and I did Alaska in Sept of 2022 and it was fantastic. We've been on NCL, RCH, Carnival and I have to say when we were aboard the HAL Ship I felt like it was on very posh Ship. I mean I haven't been on many ships at only 6 cruises but, I would love to know what you guys think about the Koningsdam! I would go on it again in a heartbeat. One thing I did feel is that the HAL ship needed more entertainment, I felt like I've seen better entertainment on other ships.
My very first cruise was on HAL (Nieuw Statendam) just last March. 11-day southern Caribbean. LOVED IT. It skews much older, but I didn't care (I had my 50th bday on board - most people were 10+ years older than me). The thing about HAL is they do a lot of really unusual cruises. My dad is currently on the Voldendam, going through the Panama Canal en route to Tierra Del Fuego and around Cape Horn, as I type this.
Going ‘round the Horn is such a great Holland America experience, we spoke to a captain who said it was the route they all wanted because it was actual sailing, not repeating the same route week after week. We are headed out on Oosterdam on February 2 to go from Buenos Aires to Valparaiso, Chile. We are excited
Madeira looks beautiful. So glad you survived your near death experience in the wooden basket toboggans. Thank you for all the food tips too. Another fun day with Ben and David!
That was really very lovely tribute for Veteran's Day.
Yes it was
17:41 that toboggan is one of the most unique attractions I have ever seen! Glad you both survived!
Absolutely love watching you guys!! We are cruising to Portugal in June and I now have my first must do...toboggan here I come
Holland America is my go to cruise line! I have 3 cruises with them this year and I can not wait! I say go and do some HA vlogs!!
We had many great experiences aboard HAL cruises. Enjoy.
Madeira is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend going land based as there is so much to see and do. I’ve been twice and only covered Funchal. You must try the local Poncha you’ll feel rather merry once you have!
Ben and David I did the Holland America Cruise lines when I graduated High school. We did a 7 day land and 7 day sea cruise in Alaska. It was awesome.
I love Madeira, it's absolutely stunning. There is a lovely café up at the top where you can sit, have a coffee and take in the stunning views. As soon as you said Madeira I knew exactly how you were coming down - I LOVED IT lol. The guys are brilliant taking you down, well worth it. x
Wondering how do those guys get back up to the top with the basket carts?!
Y’all just made my day. Love watching
Love these two!
You need to go on Holland, the service is amazing, it's really nice and the good is wonderful!! It's not really for old people, it's a lie! 😂
You both are the best! David and his spicy breakfast burrito ❤️
Thanks Natalie ❤️
...good to know as like fine wine...I too am aged ... but could do a burrito for breakfast too ...
WHAT SHE SAID - ALL OF IT!
YES! Do a Holland American Cruise. HAL is lovely! I think you would LOVE it!
Pastel natas …heaven ! Go my Portuguese brothers, the toboggans are the best thing I’ve ever seen. On celebrity cruises it’s food in the back fun in the front so you don’t get lost..lol
Oh the tabagon wasn’t anything like I was expecting- I’d so do that!
Fantastic episode again guys.. Happy cruising 🛳
Love Madeira such a pretty island , back there on Ventura in August can’t wait 😊
The blue iguana breakfast burritos are heaven! Perfect to have before an early excursion
I so enjoy seeing your travels. Happy cruising.
LOL. David got his spicy burrito popped. 😁😘😝
Glad to see you have good time on my island. Good job guys!!
What fun!! 😀
I just love you two!!!!❤
Ben is just like me, I keep making plans to go in things like that too and I don’t like heights so I always ask myself why as soon as I get on them.🤣
Loved this! One of your best, and that’s saying a lot.
Those gardens are gorgeous!
Thanks for the journey 👍😎
An awesome report. What fun and beautiful garden.
You guys are so brave!!!
That toboggan looked like SO much fun!
You guys make my Sunday! I look forward to you guys all week. 🤗
I have heard so many good things about Portugal. Thank you for taking us along on your visit.
The toboggan adventure looked amazing!
That was wild!!
We have been to funchal Madeira and tried this slide and it was a great experience 😂
Nice video. Great info. That ride down the hill looked like a blast. Beautiful looking place. Thanks and take care.
That Funchal basket ride is the best thing! Soooo much fun.
Oh my goodness you were both so brave for going up and coming down!!!!! Love to you both🥰😃
Have been excited for these Celebration videos!
We Americans love you both so much Ben and David!
What a great day for you both..Madeira looks amazingly beautiful. Look forward to your videos. Thanks Guys ❤
Hey guys ! Great video as always. I’ve been on Holland America for RSVP cruises so it wasn’t the normal crowd . The staff told us the average age is normally 105 lol . The ships were nice and service good but I prefer Celebrity and then Royal Caribbean 😎😎😎
Madeira looks amazing! Great vlog guys. Those toboggans aghhh lol!💝🌻
I have sailed 4 times on Holland America. Food was wonderful and service was great. This last trip we ended up eating every meal in the buffet. Wonderful choices, well prepared. We stayed in a suite and the room met our expectations. 11:25
I loved HAL The Konningsdam was a wonderful ship with outstanding food. The specialty restaurants were over the top. You would both enjoy this ship.
This was such a fun , entertaining video ! I loved it !
That was so considerate of you guys thanking a us veteran for his service. My father and all my uncles served in ww2 and Korea And a aunt who was a nurse as well during the war
Maderia is my favourite port to go to, so beautiful 😍
Highly recommend Holland America, especially their newer ships. We have spent over 200 days on their ships. Unique, longer itineraries. Wonderful food, best afternoon teas. Spacious showers.
Love watching yous guys xxx yous cheer me up after a crap day 😊xxx
This stop is on my bucket list now. Not sure about taking my life in my hands with the sleigh ride but so cool. Thanks for a wonderful video!
Thanks for the memories of when we did it--probably our favorite shore excursion in over 30 cruises.
Absolutely take and review HAL...you will love the music on board!
U guys are fantastic 😊 especially the looks on Ur faces enjoying those amazing looking pastry tarts and then the tram ride 👍 Priceless ❤️
The pork tacos with green tomatillo sauce,cheese,tomatoes and sour cream is the best. The burritos with the chicken sausage,hash browns and Mexican eggs are great too… Blue Iguana Is great !
We loved the Mardi Gras and can’t wait to go on the Celebration! Love watching you guys! You have to try the chefs table on Carnival if you have never done it. It is fabulous!
OMG…from Canada to my second home in Portugal! I love you guys! I really enjoy your take on my cultural heritage:)
HAL ❤️❤️❤️ pinnacle class ships are amazing!
I really enjoy watching you two! So many of the channels that I watch only show the Caribbean . I like that you travel the world. You help me to add to my bucket list.😊
Those gardens look amazing, we've been to Maderia twice and both times it's been raining so never got to see them. Thanks guys a least we now know what we've missed.
Love you Guys, so Honest & Entertaining Keep up the Great Work We enjoy all your travels 😀 Happy 2023
Thank you Pat. Happy New Year to you too.
You guys are the best! So fun. Love your videos!😊❤️👍
Thank you 🤗
I'm glad you made it safely down the mountain.
