Wow, that Emeril's experience really was subpar. It's a recipe for disaster if there's only two servers present to look after an entire restaurant, and it's not the servers' fault!
So sorry you had that type of rudeness. I unfortunately called a couple years ago friends and they started that type of rude acting. I stood up grabbed my wife’s hand and told them please excuse us we are not on the same wavelength as you all are. Our old friend started yelling at us and my wife looked at me and told me. Good choice I never liked them anyway. Now that I look back about them they had been quite rude over the years. I just ignored it until that evening when they offended everyone. Two other couples at our table left them after we had left. The offending couple still to this day think they were wronged. As Mr Gump stated. Stupid is as Stupid does. Bless you two and we look forward meeting you two one day in the future. ❤
Usually, it is the booze that does it. I live in Las Vegas that type of behavior is very common here, both on the Strip and away where normal locals go eat. These days we eat at home or with friends at our house or their place. Some people have no manners.
OMGoodness I haven't got to that bit. How shallow minded and insecure. They make themselves embarrassing to look at. Fear and misunderstanding have a lot to answer for. Love and peace peeps
My husband and I just got off a Virgin Atlantic cruise out of Miami. I personally don't like cruising but this one changed my mind. The food and the crew were amazing!!!! VIRGIN cruises is all I'll be doing!!
I could swear that when we started cruising in 2004 several cruise lines offered “cruises to nowhere”. They were shorter cruises (3-5 days) but the ship would just go out and wander about. I wish that Royal Caribbean would do that out of Port Canaveral because sometimes I pick a cruise based on how many sea days it has. The more the merrier! 😀 Sorry about the morons at the MDR table next to you. I think the maitre d AND a security guard should have at least asked them to tone it down or face expulsion. Thanks for your very hard work putting these wonderful videos together. I look forward to them every Sunday! ❤️
A friend recently took a 3-day Disney cruise out of San Diego to Ensenada (60 miles away), so there was basically a lot of just wandering about in the ocean.
The perfect day at coco cay are basically like that, you can use your drink package and dinner packages there they said, same thing with Labadee, Haiti, but because of civil unrest their is limited cruise ships going to Haiti
I love your channel. Found you looking for a tour of Mardi Gras and it was so professionally done that I thought the cruise line made it. And then I found out you guys are also freaking hilarious 😂. I love the water slide footage
My favourite part of a cruise is being at sea, with no land in sight. After twice doing the month long trip from UK to Australia with only 2 or 3 ports, the longer the cruise with more sea days would be my go to.
The service is key to a positive overall experience. Understaffed, aggressive staff or poorly trained staff can really ruin a cruise experience. The waiting and slowness would be really disappointing.
We did our first TA last year and decided it's the way to go from now on. We loved the 8 days at sea to fully unwind before hitting Europe and there was no overnight flight/jet lag to get there. The only benefit in E to W I think is you get 6 hours extra on the cruise with the time changes (and you lose 6 going W to E).
Oh guys!!! This video was sooooo fun!!! I loved watching you do all the playground activities. I love hearing you laugh and scream! It seems like the best dining is actually the fast options. I have such a great time going on adventures with you🥰
Finally found some time to watch your TransAtlantic Cruise. We loved it and it fired us up for our TransAtlantic / Repositioning Cruise on Viking Sky from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale November 2023. Keep sharing your cruises!!! Bart & Sue (Patreon Captains)
I didn’t think they considered the transatlantic crossing as their inaugural cruise. I think they considered the first cruise out of Florida as the official inaugural cruise. Maybe that’s why there weren’t gifts?
Hey Ben and David! The adventure continues. Is the moral of the story here always carry a corkscrew to open a bottle cause you just never know when you might need one, lol. Thanks for a another great chapter in the transatlantic trip! Happy Cruising!
YES!!!!!! some ships do offer a corkage fee, but good idea to bring one or choose one of those screw off lids or wine in a bag, as an ex crew member getting to the Caribbean is ace , was never really a six month in Alaska excitement
Did a Viking Christmas Market cruise in November. One table at dinner one night was particularly robust leading someone at another table to proclaim, “What is this, a Carnival Cruise?”
Ha ha! We are Viking cruisers too. Definitely we and our friends do make references to rude passengers as Carnival people. Sorry, but too many drunken parties and rowdy kids running in the hallways at midnight is why we take Viking or Oceania cruises. I cannot imagine hearing such redneck types on our cruises. But in fairness, you guys said they were unlike all the other lovely passengers.
Very true but one of these days when I take a cruise, I think a quiet cruise is what I would want. The reason why I enjoy viewing this channel.@@therantingmum7872
I'm hoping to do my first Transatlantic later this year, but have been nervous about the sheer number of sea days one after the other. Great to see how you passed the time, and what a ship to do it on!
Lucky you both, Ben and David. You must’ve cruised with other well-known TH-camrs. Lucy and I embarked P&O Arcadia in Southampton on the same day to Zeebrugge but our port of call was changed to Rotterdam due to high wind towards the Belgian port. Fraser@Sea was on our ship but we never met him. June
I love the Crossing. But you have to really make sure you know what you're getting into. Research is your best friend to avoid possible disappointment. If you're going to cross the Atlantic during the winter months and you easily get seasick then you're going to be in for a horrible week especially if you're not on QM2.
It’s not they can’t get new crew, they are slow on purpose to save money. I was on MSC in Nov and most of the crew all said they had friends waiting still to come back.
done transatlantic 3 times. No great problems though the last time was choppy. Having previously gone across Bay of Biscay in really rough weather we learned that spending more time in bed really paid dividends. Our first transatlantic we had two choices, on P&O to Southampton via Bay of Biscay or on Marella to Malaga. The choice was made easier because with Marella we could fly back to Birmingham as opposed to getting back for Southampton and then to the a departure airport. A double bonus.
In relation to your neighbors ruining your dinner, I had to ask to move tables on my last cruise because the table next to mine was saying extremely homophobic and racist things, and I'm queer and it was devastating. The servers were very kind about it
My friend and I did the ropes course on the Vista. I'm terrified of heights, but, like Ben, I was glad I did it. I also like to bring my own snacks - just in case. You never know if you're going to be hungry in the middle of the night. LOL
HI Ben, Hi David! Your videos are always so much fun to watch. My son always brings his own pillow when he decides to travel with us. Many people travel with certain things they like.
If you don’t buy the wifi can you use the app to book your reservations? As I saw you booked your reservation with the main dinning room, but what if you don’t by the wifi? Keep smashing it guys, love your style of filming x
Hello, Ben and David. Kudos to you both for doing the ropes course! I definitely couldn’t do it. I have an awful fear of heights. I don’t blame you all for being annoyed with the rude comments from the other table in the MDR. If I ever go on another cruise, I would enjoy the transatlantic experience. I love the sea days. By the way, have you all ever been on a Panama Canal cruise?
Everyone is feeling the pinch in these hard economical times, maybe we have had the good times for so long we have become too used to it. Great cruising really enjoy your vlogs.
I never tried a transatlantic, maybe one day. But looks like a lot of fun stuff to do on the cruise. So unfortunate about the lousy party during dinner. That’s so rude. Thank you for the video ! Can’t wait till the next one.
This is definitely on my bucket list. I loved watching all your antics. Laughed pretty hard. So sorry you had to deal with those nasty drunk people when you were having dinner in the MDR.
Sorry you had those rude passengers at mealtime and that there are staffing shortages. Looks like you're still having a good time anyway despite those setbacks. 🍻 cheers!
Thanks for the video. You guys are making me consider trying Carnival again. I was on the Pride about 8 years ago and was not impressed, but this ship looks great. And the food reviews are intriguing, especially with Royal's food decreasing in quality.
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for being our designated camera operator, Ben. I'm proud of you for going on that playground. I wouldn't do it! Sorry you had such a horrible experience on the dining room. I would have asked to be moved. Or better yet, they should have been escorted out. Food to be delivered to their rooms!
You guys are a trip. If I need a chuckle I find you......pillow castle I LOVE THAT! LOL😂 I do the same thing. It's not weird. I've watched a lot of cruisers and besides Laura & Fain you guys are my fav.
7 days at sea may seem like a long period to some but in comparison, the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier was deployed for 321 days during 2020-2021. What makes this deployment especially notable is that Nimitz spent more than 10 months at sea WITHOUT any port calls due to the worldwide pandemic. This deployment by Nimitz was the longest deployment by a US Navy warship since the USS Coral Sea did 329 days (which included port calls) in 1964-1965 during the Vietnam war era. Long deployments for Sailors are routine and are expected during our tenure but I salute the entire crew of Nimitz for such an extraordinary accomplishment. Bravo Zulu. I enjoy your videos because you have an excellent mix of information, scenery, and humor while presenting your travel experiences. Be well and keep the content coming. Thank you.
@@kennixox262me too. Air force brat and air force veteran. In japan the air force had us one per room. In the same type buildings navy was 4 per room.
I love watching your videos! You both are so funny and entertaining 🎉 & very informative 😊 I’ve only been on 1 cruise ever, back in 2015, The Independence of the Seas Eastern Caribbean cruise. I hope to go on another soon! I’ve been slacking 🙃😳😬. But I love watching your videos you both are very fun.
Loved watching you spend your day on board - especially in the splash zone. I can’t do those tube things - too confining… but it was so fun watching you both. And then why do you torture yourself on the rope course! Looking forward to more Vlogs from this cruise. Thank you
Last ever Carnival cruise had a loud, boisterous, and inappropriate group of Aussies who swore around children and talked through the entirety of the special Christmas program by the crew. The security team actually pulled them out from dinner one evening. We looked to avoid them the rest of the cruise.
I did a transatlantic cruise several years back and the weather after we left Miami was so bad that our planned stop in Bermuda was cancelled as the entire island shut down. To make up for it, we stopped in the Azores, and what a treat that was! I would do another transatlantic in a heartbeat!
I too clean up my cabin before I allow a cabin Stewart to come in. I'm not saying that my cabin is messy but I am saying I've got laundry hanging up and stuff spread out. As much as I like my cabin stewards I would really rather not have them have to come in and move things around in my cabin. I am not one who wants new towels every time I use 1 and it seems like the cabin stewards are trained to keep giving us new towels.
We are scheduled to go on this ship in November 2024 (so far away 😭😭), but still super excited. It'll be me, my husband and our at that time 10 and 12 year olds...it will be our first Carnival cruise, we have only done Royal! And then my 2 sisters and my aunt will be with us and will be their first cruise ever!!! This video was so fun, i love you two so much 💜💜💜
Have you ever done a transatlantic on Cunard? A very different experience as it is a bit of a throwback to the old ocean liner days which had some good experiences and some not so good experiences but overall worth the experience.
I was watching your video kind of dozing, and then went into a laughing fit when you said the powdered sugar isn’t cocaine! You woke me ! I love your funny comical, quick ways of talking.
I did the ropes course on the Norwegian Getaway last year, and i am absolutely afraid of heights. I was terrified the whole time but it was a blast and im glad i did it! Were there any spots with Ziplines? Where you basically launch yourself across a gap? There was on the Getaway. And even spots where you can walk out onto a beam over the water entirely!
We have just done a transatlantic crossing from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona, on board Cunard Queen Elizabeth, honestly boys don’t bother with this one, unless you are 80 odd you will be filing your nails on all the sea days, so boring. I thought the Cunard line was a little more upmarket but definitely not worth the money spent, very poor. Definitely a thumbs down for this cruise company. They couldn’t even be bothered responding to any feed back.
I love the swells and high seas! The best part of the adventure at sea. P.S. carry your own TSA compliant - Corkscrews (with no blade). Carry-On Bags: Yes. Checked Bags: Yes.
I am bummed. We were on the Mardi Gras in December. My daughter was unhappy with the ship. All she did was complain. I was on a wheelchair and at her total disposal. She was up earlier. Than me. She didn’t like the barbecue, or the Chicken. She tried enchilada that was horrible too. She didn’t like how the show were set up. I did get to go a comedy show. It was bad. It lasted 30 minutes. All those people packed in for a show that was not only very funny, and over in 1/2 hour. The only thing she did like was the Magnolia Bar(very plush). It had a trio from Argentina😅 They were ver very good. For me, I couldn’t believe that people in the front just talked and talked, when the tr played. It was so rude! I’m at the age that my mouth opens when perhaps I observe rude people. But,I held my tongue. I did go to the Casino for a couple of hours. Fun, fun. It was right before dinner. I asked her to leave me at the craps table & she did. I could breathe. Had a great time up & down. To make dinner, I had to quit, Down $24. Much less than playing the slots, I was at the table almost two hours & had a great time! Our main man had to leave for early dinner. I had double my money, but I was having so much fun! A $24 loss for 2 hours makes me think I paid very little for great entertainment 😰✋🦻🏿
Excellent vid, really enjoyed sharing your experience and looking forward to the rest of this series as we've just booked Celebration for next year. "Power Rangers doing the splits!"...about spit out my drink lol You guys crack me up! And...you guys have really got to eat some real bbq somewhere down south. Pig and anchor is meh at best. I get that you don't have that really in the UK so you don't have a good way to judge it. You'd probably just die and go to heaven eating the real thing.
For some reason this video was not connecting with my brain that you were on a Carnival Cruise. I kept wondering how this cruise was seeming so subpar for Royal Caribbean but then everything finally clicked and I realized you two were on a Carnival ship. I completely understand all of the issues you ran into with service on the ship. I am not a fan of Carnival and never will be.
Hey boys glad you're enjoying your latest cruise, we have been following you for the past couple of years...I've noticed you use the term complimentary often...but surely that means free of charge, I'm sure there is nothing free on a cruse as you pay a small fortune for the privilege.... loving you vlogs...keep up the good work..Graham and Jason
David you look fantastic however have you thought about dying your shaved head hair white blonde with your dark beard in my humble opinion would look amazing
Research purposes??? You kill me Ben! Too funny!!!! You can always ask for another table if you're being offended by fellow cruisers. DO NOT hesitate to ask, "You have not because you ask not" My motto on board any ship. I have yet to be denied!
Stuck at sea for 7 days? For me that would be cake compared to being at sea in the Navy where I had to endure 128 straight days at sea doing figure 8's in the ocean. I would take this over sleeping in a coffin rack and any of the food on the ship.
...BON-VOYAGE ... enjoy ... enjoy ... enjoy ... stay flexible to people's needs in these ports ... but enjoy ... REDNECKS ! ... OMG ... call somebody ... thought they said "Everybody"... my bad ...
Unfortunately I could not eat that omelette. My omelettes and scrambled eggs must have the yolk and white whisked so no white egg can be seen. I'm too fussy lol
I hope you guys do a Carnival Jubilee after it launches in Dec 20203. We have a group going Oct 2024 for our 35th class reunion. It would be great to have your opinion on the ship…. Love watching you guys. You make my day brighter. 🌞
Hey there! Thanks for your support and kind words! We're glad to hear that you enjoy watching our videos and that we brighten your day. Your class reunion cruise on the Carnival Jubilee sounds like a fantastic plan! While we can't guarantee that we'll be able to review that specific ship, we'll definitely keep it in mind for future content. We appreciate your suggestion, and we'll continue sharing our experiences with you. Have a wonderful time on your reunion cruise in 2024! 🚢😊🌞

'Eating healthy on a cruise'?! I never heard such foul language in one of your videos! LOL! Lovely ship. Thank you for this one! Have a gala day.
Thanks for being so understanding of the staff. It is hard working in a restaurant or any guest service job without all the necessary staffing.

NEVER say never! Even a 3 day is a dream I believe you will ❤
Saying Never will make it Never!!!🙄
One of my all-time favorite videos from you! Loved seeing you guys goof around in the playground area!
Unfortunately Carnival attracts “red necks” like flies to poo. That is one of the many reasons we will never sail with Carnival.

I hope to go on another soon! I’ve been slacking 🙃😳😬. But I love watching your videos you both are very fun.
Loved watching you spend your day on board - especially in the splash zone. I can’t do those tube things - too confining… but it was so fun watching you both. And then why do you torture yourself on the rope course! Looking forward to more Vlogs from this cruise. Thank you
Need an update, love your commitment to research 😂😂😂, I didn’t know you had to pay for on board things like the rollercoaster
Last ever Carnival cruise had a loud, boisterous, and inappropriate group of Aussies who swore around children and talked through the entirety of the special Christmas program by the crew. The security team actually pulled them out from dinner one evening. We looked to avoid them the rest of the cruise.
I did a transatlantic cruise several years back and the weather after we left Miami was so bad that our planned stop in Bermuda was cancelled as the entire island shut down. To make up for it, we stopped in the Azores, and what a treat that was! I would do another transatlantic in a heartbeat!
Another great video! Thanks guys, really enjoy watching your videos, so fun & informative...
I too clean up my cabin before I allow a cabin Stewart to come in. I'm not saying that my cabin is messy but I am saying I've got laundry hanging up and stuff spread out. As much as I like my cabin stewards I would really rather not have them have to come in and move things around in my cabin. I am not one who wants new towels every time I use 1 and it seems like the cabin stewards are trained to keep giving us new towels.
really enjoyed this video. thank you for doing it for us. are trans atlantic cruises less or more costly?
We are scheduled to go on this ship in November 2024 (so far away 😭😭), but still super excited. It'll be me, my husband and our at that time 10 and 12 year olds...it will be our first Carnival cruise, we have only done Royal! And then my 2 sisters and my aunt will be with us and will be their first cruise ever!!! This video was so fun, i love you two so much 💜💜💜
Have you ever done a transatlantic on Cunard? A very different experience as it is a bit of a throwback to the old ocean liner days which had some good experiences and some not so good experiences but overall worth the experience.
Not yet. Its on the bucket list.
I was watching your video kind of dozing, and then went into a laughing fit when you said the powdered sugar isn’t cocaine! You woke me ! I love your funny comical, quick ways of talking.
I did the ropes course on the Norwegian Getaway last year, and i am absolutely afraid of heights. I was terrified the whole time but it was a blast and im glad i did it! Were there any spots with Ziplines? Where you basically launch yourself across a gap? There was on the Getaway. And even spots where you can walk out onto a beam over the water entirely!
We have just done a transatlantic crossing from Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona, on board Cunard Queen Elizabeth, honestly boys don’t bother with this one, unless you are 80 odd you will be filing your nails on all the sea days, so boring.
I thought the Cunard line was a little more upmarket but definitely not worth the money spent, very poor. Definitely a thumbs down for this cruise company. They couldn’t even be bothered responding to any feed back.
Not necessarily red necks...but in the US we would call them everything obscene and nothing decent.
Fanta on the balcony sounds divine. ❤😅
You 2 are so funny can’t wait to see you try the go karts on viva make sure to record it it will be amazing
I love the swells and high seas! The best part of the adventure at sea. P.S. carry your own TSA compliant - Corkscrews (with no blade). Carry-On Bags: Yes. Checked Bags: Yes.
I love every week seeing your uploads, thank you for all the great content and keep being awesome ❤
I am bummed. We were on the Mardi Gras in December. My daughter was unhappy with the ship. All she did was complain. I was on a wheelchair and at her total disposal. She was up earlier. Than me. She didn’t like the barbecue, or the Chicken. She tried enchilada that was horrible too. She didn’t like how the show were set up. I did get to go a comedy show. It was bad. It lasted 30 minutes. All those people packed in for a show that was not only very funny, and over in 1/2 hour. The only thing she did like was the Magnolia Bar(very plush). It had a trio from Argentina😅 They were ver very good. For me, I couldn’t believe that people in the front just talked and talked, when the tr played. It was so rude! I’m at the age that my mouth opens when perhaps I observe rude people. But,I held my tongue. I did go to the Casino for a couple of hours. Fun, fun. It was right before dinner. I asked her to leave me at the craps table & she did. I could breathe. Had a great time up & down. To make dinner, I had to quit, Down $24. Much less than playing the slots, I was at the table almost two hours & had a great time! Our main man had to leave for early dinner. I had double my money, but I was having so much fun! A $24 loss for 2 hours makes me think I paid very little for great entertainment 😰✋🦻🏿
Try Marella!
Excellent vid, really enjoyed sharing your experience and looking forward to the rest of this series as we've just booked Celebration for next year. "Power Rangers doing the splits!"...about spit out my drink lol You guys crack me up! And...you guys have really got to eat some real bbq somewhere down south. Pig and anchor is meh at best. I get that you don't have that really in the UK so you don't have a good way to judge it. You'd probably just die and go to heaven eating the real thing.
Ben, you were on a roll with the puns. "Shania Twain riding a horse" I watched this three time and laugh my buns off each time. #lovethecheeseypuns
For some reason this video was not connecting with my brain that you were on a Carnival Cruise. I kept wondering how this cruise was seeming so subpar for Royal Caribbean but then everything finally clicked and I realized you two were on a Carnival ship. I completely understand all of the issues you ran into with service on the ship. I am not a fan of Carnival and never will be.
My husband too, loves that gentle rocking!
On the Carnival Celebration is the water slides , ropes course and the golf course is complementary?
Hey boys glad you're enjoying your latest cruise, we have been following you for the past couple of years...I've noticed you use the term complimentary often...but surely that means free of charge, I'm sure there is nothing free on a cruse as you pay a small fortune for the privilege.... loving you vlogs...keep up the good work..Graham and Jason
David you look fantastic however have you thought about dying your shaved head hair white blonde with your dark beard in my humble opinion would look amazing
It's so middle class...where's the luxury? Seven days of living in a mall with no way out!!!
Research purposes??? You kill me Ben! Too funny!!!! You can always ask for another table if you're being offended by fellow cruisers. DO NOT hesitate to ask, "You have not because you ask not" My motto on board any ship. I have yet to be denied!
My fave: Don’t ask. Don’t get
Stuck at sea for 7 days? For me that would be cake compared to being at sea in the Navy where I had to endure 128 straight days at sea doing figure 8's in the ocean. I would take this over sleeping in a coffin rack and any of the food on the ship.
Great video gentlemen.. I have a different technique opening wine without corkscrew. Simply use the handle of a spoon to push the cork into the bottle
Very enjoyable looks like you had fun. Around 100 days till my next cruise.
...BON-VOYAGE ... enjoy ... enjoy ... enjoy ... stay flexible to people's needs in these ports ... but enjoy ...
REDNECKS ! ... OMG ... call somebody ... thought they said "Everybody"... my bad ...
I'm sorry you had a bad experience when you were at the main dining room. That is why I haven't been on a Carnival Cruise in years.
Ok. I need a translation - when David said he didn’t want the attendant moving his smalls, what does that mean?
Britishism for underwear. 😊
Unfortunately I could not eat that omelette. My omelettes and scrambled eggs must have the yolk and white whisked so no white egg can be seen. I'm too fussy lol
I hope you guys do a Carnival Jubilee after it launches in Dec 20203. We have a group going Oct 2024 for our 35th class reunion. It would be great to have your opinion on the ship…. Love watching you guys. You make my day brighter. 🌞
Hey there! Thanks for your support and kind words! We're glad to hear that you enjoy watching our videos and that we brighten your day. Your class reunion cruise on the Carnival Jubilee sounds like a fantastic plan! While we can't guarantee that we'll be able to review that specific ship, we'll definitely keep it in mind for future content. We appreciate your suggestion, and we'll continue sharing our experiences with you. Have a wonderful time on your reunion cruise in 2024! 🚢😊🌞
I loved hearing you two laugh on the slides. Nice to see yous having fun.
