I cannot tell you how much I’ve enjoyed being with you guys on this trip! I’ve felt like I’m right there with you🤗. Thank you so much!
Well said! You guys are the best!
🎵 “It’s the most wonderful time for a beer”🎵 Ben, you’re the best! And David you’re right there with him, love you guys!
Yes he obviously watches the same ads I do. Another Carlton classic
My version is, “It’s the most wonderful time to drink beer” 😅
“You can’t buy happiness but you can buy cake…” wiser words have never been spoken!
Black Forest in German is Schwarzwald. Literally translated it means 'Dark - or black - World'. The wonderful thing about snow in Germany is that it usually is soft, fluffy and dry! Nothing like the slurry we get in the UK.
We have German family in a lovely Black Forest village - husband's son married her and they produced two gorgeous girls - before he slithered out, we're ashamed of the little skunk but have a lovely DIL and grand daughters! I also lived in Germany for eight and a half years - second stint as a teenager at boarding school on the North Sea Coast. All were English Forces schools.
SO, it was fabulous to follow your Rhine cruise - I only really spotted that you visiting one Christmas Market in Koln/Cologne. Looking for landmarks I wasn't sure that you actually left the market around the mooring area beside the Cathedral. Koln Cathedral was left unbombed during WW2 as it was a guiding landmark for our bombers. Ditto with St Paul's in London - a valuable landmark so it too was largely untouchd. Lucky guys - I HOPE you had a shot of brandy in the Gluhwein - pronounced 'Glue-vine' - AND that you didn't take the mugs back to collect the deposit. You need to have at least kept two of them! That's how it's done guys! x
We need a hour long compilation of all of David's hilarious double entendres
Fantastic vlog, (well all I've seen are) but this is great footage showing the houses and you guys providing the history info, just great !!!
Ive loved the series but especially this video! Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm with me!
Hi guys! We just rewatched your series to get us ready for our Christmas Markets cruise this year. Thanks for this series and for your tips and help choosing what and where to eat. Can't wait for the Gluwein.
'Kiss a cow and call me Daisy'. You crack me up! My husband and I especially enjoyed this series. Brought back so many memories of our Viking Rhine Christmas cruise. Thank you!
( keep showing us everything you eat!)
You guys are the best 👌 👍
The Black Forest or the Schwartz Wald . Beautiful in summer and winter. Bears and wolves😮 roamed here😊
I loved this Christmas River Cruise Series!
Milk a cow and call me daisy…. I’m still laughing. Thank you Ben and David for this most wonderful look into river cruising. 🤗
All good things do come to an end, especially a Christmas Holiday cruise. Let's hope that all bad things also come to an end in 2022 as well! Thanks to both of you for all you do sharing your experiences with us. All the best in the new year! 🥳🎉
👍👍👍👍👍
I agree with your every sentiment
Glu wein, the drink you have at the end of your day skiing. My mum and dad observed it regularly. Another warming winter drink is lambs wool, it's a spiced ale flavoured with cinnamon and nutmeg topped with a dollop of stewed apple with brown sugar and cinnamon. Both lovely and makes the winter, however pretty, whiz along to spring more quickly
David I love your Pug Christmas sweater. I have a 12 year old pug.
Binge watch worthy! Love you guys!
Thank you guys for another beautiful and entertaining video👍🏻
I can’t tell you how much I have loved watching all of your videos. I watch so many cruise vlogs but you two are by far my favorite!
Lovely , thank you! Need to add a river cruise to the list.
Ben & David are living their best life.
I loved your Christmas cruise. It looks like a great time.
David, I love your Christmas sweater !
I'm catching up with all your sailing vids and as usual I loved every bit of this one too. Keep on Cruising Ben and David... From a Scot in Australia 🙃
Hi, Ben and David: Here's a tip for extending the life of a piece of cake or cupcake by a week. If you have purchased a frosted cupcake, or piece of cake, or cake from your local bakery. placing any of the above-mentioned sweet treats on parchment paper. Placing them in a gallon sized plastic storage bag and removing the air will create a seal and placing them in a freezer will extend the life of these sweet treats by a week.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m a retired nurse and years ago I cared for an old lady. She loved LIGHT🌞. She always wanted all the lights on, all the time!
I really enjoy watching both of you no matter where you are, your river cruise trip has been the best and most entertaining.
I`ve enjoyed this series so much, thankyou guys! I sincerely wish you both the very best in 2022, you do such an amazing job filming and editing the vlogs , may you have a blessed and prosperous New Year. Much love from Vancouver Island BC Canada.
Ahhh, what a magical place you have to call home! Hope your holiday season was grand.
Love you guys!!
I enjoy your tours so much!
Happy New Year!!! Loved watching this series. I had no idea they had these types of Christmas Market cruises… now booked with Avalon for a Christmas river cruise 2023 🤗. Best to you both in 2022 🍾
Ben and David, I cannot tell you how much we enjoy watching all your shows. The places you go and the Ships you travel on are so beautiful and it makes you feel like you are there too. Keep up the wonderful jobs you are doing and a Heartfelt Thank You.
I wish I had white Christmas too. Growing up in Canada, I love white Christmas . But now it’s opposite, I live in Florida.
Happy New Year Ben and David! I absolutely LOVE watching you two. ❤️
We have a Christmas markets cruise this December on P&Os Iona, cannot wait!!!!
This trip was awesome - the magic radiated from the screen. I loved every minute of it. Have a great 2022 full of new wonderful adventures!
I could watch your river cruise videos all day, every day!! LOVED THIS!!
This video was so great, thanks 😊 💖
Thank you so much guys, I really loved coming along with the two of you on your Christmas cruise. It was truly amazing.
It was noble of you to eat all those cakes to prove to us how delicious they are. I am grateful!
Thank you for the video.
I absolutely loved this River cruise!!! Thanks for sharing all of this with us.
Absolutely love it!🥰 I am so hungry! 😋 You need to write a book with all of Ben’s funny expressions!? I can’t remember them all! 🥰
"Giddy Schoolgirl!"😃
Your videos are amazing and I need to go on that cruise!
Happy new year!
I loved this! Your videos make me want to make the same trips. Thank you for sharing
Snow at Christmas. Amazing
Very enjoyable video!!!
Hi Ben and David! Awesome! The adventure continues!
Love you guys, you should have an at-home video with your daily life.
Omg i love you guys
Ben and David, thank you for sharing your journeys with us in 2021. Living in northern Ontario Canada we have not been able to travel as we once did so it's been great living vicariously through you. I hope you had a great holiday season with family and friends and wish you good health and happy cruising in 2022!
Oh my gosh, Milk a camel and call me Daisy!! Love you guys too much! Thank you so much for sharing. I get the most joy out of watching and living vicariously through you!
Thank you so much Lee for watching. Really lovely to hear that you enjoy our videos.
I took this cruise 2 years ago but missed Christmas time! I want to go again.
Love your vids and thanks for sharing the love! Dave - where did you get that wonderful puggy & skis sweater????!!!!
Great vid again. Loved it
Loved your report on river cruising. Merriest of Christmas wishes and all the best in the coming year.
Best wishes to you too for the year
Hi Ben and David 💓 If you want snow come to northwestern Minnesota 🌞 and if you want cold come to northwestern Minnesota 🌞 It was 30 below zero fahrenheit at night and we got about 7" of snow 🌨️ Happy New Year and may it bright and gay!
Thanks!
Thank you so much Lisa!
Happy New Year! Love watching you both! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this as I have a brother that lives in Karlsruhe and always talks about the Black Forest. He actually just sent my son a cuckoo clock as a wedding gift in September. Me and my husband want to take a river cruise some day. 🥰
It was like you both being in a Snow Globe! When we did both of our Christmas cruises, we got about an inch or so every place, and it made everything so magical! Very entertaining vlog! Thank you so much for taking me with you! Happy New Year! Vickie from SE Pa, USA
Thank you so much for this video!. I stationed in Germany for a year and a half but did not get to see any of it. I have been wanting to go on a river cruise especially at Christmas for a very long time. Hopefully when I retire in a couple of years I can go. My sister's been wanting to go on a river cruise also.
This was my absolute favorite! Seeing the Black Forest Village was amazing - felt I was there, too. Please - more river cruises and the excursions!! Thank you!
Watched 11-23 So informative and entertaining! Want to this cruise! Love your sense of humor! You are the best!!! Thank you Ben and David!!!
Just found you guys and have been watching you all day. Just looked at the clock and was like 😳.
🤭
Wonderful thank you two
Happy New Year, guys. I love you two. Thanks for lifting our spirits by sharing your adventures!!!
Ben & David, You do such a great job. So much fun 😊 and all the travel information. I really want to take a river cruise. Thank You
How Wonderful that it snowed for you guys! It just snowed here where I am and I admit I was a giddy schoolgirl too! Thanks for the great tour-it is always a pleasure to join your adventures so thank you for taking us along! Question: could you do a segment about river cruise pricing? I think many of us would love to know more! Thank You!
Happy New Year, I love your Xmas tree, love watching your trips, and enjoy each one. Lots of love from Puerto Rico.
Holly crap, that breakfast buffet looks fantastic, I got hungry looking at it. By the way, I am so glad the two of you found each other and glad as well you both love cruising and decided to create this channel. What a fantastic experience. Thanks guys. I am so sad to see this end.
Coming from Chris Wong channel love it 😊
You 2 are the cutest couple, love watching your videos,happy and a healthy 2022 to you both.
You guys do the best cruise videos of all, just love them and you two, Happy New Year.xx
You are the best! Evelyn and I absolutely loved this segment and request that you not leave and turn it into a B2B! This was wonderful and certainly wants us to be there. As always, thanks for the entertainment. Tim
We love the Black Forest. Spent a week there last time. Planning on 3 nights this year
I could listen to you two talk all day!!
I love you TH-cam channel. You should have a travel TV show; but I wouldn't get it because I live in the US. I could watch the both of you ever day. I look forward to your next video. Love you guys.
I love your videos! I have been doing a Ben and David marathon today! I had a best friend who passed 10 years ago David. You remind me of him so much! Never stop being you ♥
Lv u guys ❤
These videos from your river cruise have been the most amazing and fun to watch videos! I really felt like I got to experience these wonderful places that you visited with you. Thanks so much, for taking the time to share your vacation with us. May 2022 bring you every happiness. You two are absolutely the best!
Love u guys.
Oh my gosh!! I have been looking forward to this video all week. 2022 is off to a great start! Your videos are the best...we love your honesty and especially your humor. Happy New Year!!! 🌹🌹
You’re so beautiful next to that golden Christmas tree! ❤️
Happy New Year! All the best! Cheers!!
Oh, you went to my most favourite destination in Germany. I **love** the Black Forest area!
My sister and I are taking our mother on this cruise this December! So excited. Thank you for sharing!
Loved being along for the trip. Thanks.
The living museum was so interesting and after we visited the Cukoo clocks then they gave us Black Forest Cake...so delicious ❤
This river cruise series is my favorite series you’ve done. Would love to see more river cruise adventures!
Happy New Year guys, love the content, you always show. Look forward to seeing you both in 2022. River cruising looked amazing, is it recommended for a disabled guy, one reason we love cruising.
It's not so much the cruising that I think you'd struggle with but the excursions. Europe isn't v disability friendly to tour (cos all those old sites with stairs etc) so you'd really have to do your research and probably get a good travel agent who could advocate for you and go over thoroughly what the cruise line could offer you (I imagine you could access at least a few markets - tho you'd have to explore the entire egress - but getting on and off buses etc would need to be planned ahead etc etc).
Also Emma Cruises did a river cruise video some time back that briefly discussed how wheelchair access on different cruise boats differ as some have elevators, some don't OR they do but not up to the deck etc.
I know it's a pain (I have multiple food allergies so I'm no stranger to the frustrations of travel research) but I'm sure you're used to research mode when it comes to travel
I’m so excited! Another vlog from Ben and David! So much fun! Happy New Years Guys!
My Grandparents were from Germany and bread and butter was a staple at every single meal. Ahhh those were the days😊
When american family and friends come to visit us in Switzerland, I also introduce them to pretzel bread and that is ALL they want to eat the whole stay! Even try to take some home in the suitcase!
"packing the calories in"...hilarious.
Looks fantastic. It's a trip I'd love. Merry Christmas guys. ❤️🎄💕
You are amazing hope to catch up in person one day ❤
Thank you guys! Glad you are doing well. Blessings from
I’m thoroughly enjoying this series in 2022 a month before Christmas. Our Rhine river cruise was in October 2016. This is magical and so entertaining. I keep laughing with delight!
you guys are just great! Thank you for taking us on your adventures!
