what is wrong with people. trolling and saying nasty thing. i think you 2 are not bad looking at all. and so you are 2 gay men. hwat is the big deal with thhis. yoe are gwown men. people need to mind their own biz
I was heartbroken (but not surprised) to hear about the ugliness you both are experiencing. This is my first time commenting but we have been watching you since a few shorts months after you started your channel. I hope someday we bump into you both on a cruise! We never book a cruise before searching your channel for past reviews. LOVE THE NEW HOME! That espresso machine is to die for! xxoo
I love the normal videos. I do not like the clickbaity titles at all. I find them annoying. I actually just go to the creators I follow each week to find their videos, and search for topics I am interested in so the clickbaity titles don't do anything for me at all.
Guys, I am going to reiterate what a few people said. I am a 35-year-old conservative, white straight male and I love your channel. All those people leaving hateful comments can get lost. We all have different lifestyles and we are free to disagree on some things, but everyone should be judged on the content of their character. You guys rock!
As a conservative straight man I have to say this. Please don’t change. Please keep being the Ben and David that I love watching every Sunday. You guys helped me and my wife during lockdowns. PS. I keep telling my wife if we ever cruise with you guys I have to have a meal with you! You guys are one of my favorite couples to watch.
I was going to say the same thing as a conservative straight white woman - I can't IMAGINE anyone being critical of you, especially these days. It's so much easier to just click the video off.
I'm sorry guys that u r going thru this. I'm a 74 yr old white woman, a former nurse living in Florida that really appreciates your honesty, the content of showing me all your trips & the joy & humor & love u put out to everyone. I laugh out loud with your humor & jokes & at some things that are very British that delight me. I want a world where we can all love whomever we wish. Your love as a couple comes thru in such a positive joyous way. I don't watch any other utubes regularly as I watch you both. Please know there are so many people like me & don't give up making honest content we all love. This world can be harsh & you guys are my highlight now that my cruising days are over. Thank you.
Well said. I love to watch their videos and especially when I’m having particularly painful day ( I have an injury/ illness that means constant pain). I think they are so sweet with their families and each other. Does me such good. Better than any medicine! 😊
I love you both and would be thrilled to bump into you on a cruise. We're 5 * HAL cruisers and feel it's a great value. So sorry for the shade....piss on them!
You two lovely people are at least one of the reasons I cruise. My husband and I love meeting new friends like you both. Next round is on me. Hugs and ❤.
You know what I liked seeing? How a family went on a cruise with two wheelchair using children and how THEY experienced not just the ship itself but also the land voyages etc. I've probably seen 1000 cruise videos (many yours!) and never seen that. THAT was incredible both in terms of your insights as to accessibility as well as how not just 85 year old grandma in a scooter (as is cruise tradition) but two KIDS can still get around and navigate cruises and have a blast! THAT's what I loved seeing and why I'll never unsubscribe
Yes! As a special ed teacher, the kiddo's I teach are so full of energy and curiosity, but often their physical or sensory needs stop them from going places and doing things. That video would have helped SO many parents with decisions about travelling on ships.
Im a straight married man. I love you guys just the way you are. I adore the interactions, comments and everything about you. Your channel is without a doubt the best in the category you serve. Keep doing what you do! Much love guys🎉
Be loud, be proud, because I'm sure there are plenty of friends out here loving every single thing about you two and your content. We might not be as vocal as the lousy trolls, but we are here. p.s. you have set up a BEAUTIFUL new home. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I hardly ever comment on these videos, but I was moved to comment on this one. My wife and I love your videos and look forward to watching every Sunday. Please don't change anything that you're doing. We love the content and we love you guys.
Agree, I watch every post with my wife as well, and we love love love what you guys do. Please keep being you and sharing your joy with us. Love is Love and we love watching you guys keep it up. Ignore the haters
My husband and I started cruising after 40 years of working hard. The two of you and a couple of other vloggers gave us the courage to start a new vision for our lives. Thank you and keep up the good work. You never know how your content can change a life.
One of the reasons yours is one of only a couple of channels I ALWAYS watch is because you are genuine - genuinely yourselves, genuinely honest, genuinely entertaining, genuinely kind. Please don't ever change.
I agree, it does not make a difference to me what the caption is as I watch all your videos regardless. Also dont care if you gay, straight, green, black, white, yellow, alien or anything else because its you that makes the channel not what you look like or anything else.
Please don’t ever change, you are my comfort channel. I love you both so much, your sense of humour and your personalities bring me so much joy. I hope to bump into you on a cruise someday. Happy cruising!!
I am a 73 yr old WF widow, I recently lost my wonderful hubby of 54 years, and I have watched every one of your videos. I was hooked once I found your channel a couple of yrs ago, so I went back and binge-watched them. I do not understand what ppl give you a hard time about or why they feel so free to do so. It doesn't matter to me which cruise you take, what kind of cabin you stay in or what the title is. I love your style of showing me what the experience is like and your energy is beyond compare. The humor is fantastic even when it's just a little naughty wink moment that would go right over a child's head, it makes me giggle. I watch videos for entertainment. If I wanted drama I would watch the news but I gave that up long ago. Sometimes your video doesn't show up for me but I know the schedule so I just go to your pg and find it. I adore both of you as I'm sure many other ppl do also. Just keep being you and we'll always find your videos. I don't understand what YT is trying to do but as with anything in life I don't need to understand others mindsets. Congrats on your beautiful new home. I would love to join to be able to see more of it but being on a retirement income does not allow that. I'm looking forward to the new adventures on your horizon. Thank you for sharing your life with us and...ships ahoy!
Same here! I love these guys. I am not much of a cruiser and now my life makes travel difficult. I watch cruise videos and many other types of videos for entertainment. Ben and David, i will search you out so you don’t have to worry about YT pushing your content out to me!
Stay the way you are with long content videos. Your channel is a binge watching channel. When new folks find you, most go back and start watching from the beginning, like I did. I watch your channel for the education of cruising, I have never taken a cruise but my wife and I are saving up to try our first one thanks to you.
You guys are so charming. It makes me furious that anyone would say un-nice things. I was never even interested in going on a cruise until I happened upon you and now I look forward to watching all your videos and going on a cruise one day.
Ben/David - I am so sorry you have received horrible comments. I find such joy in your channel, your travels, your adventures, your reviews. Please pay no attention to those who seek to destroy ..the only ones they denegrate are themselves.
Don’t leave. Your videos helped me get through cancer and now that I am in remission, I watch to get my Ben & David fix. I love watching your videos with your family. Ignore the negative Nancy’s you both are awesome!
What I like about your channel is that despite never having been on a cruise, nor do I intend to, I come back to watch you guys because you are friendly and funny! :)
Narrow-minded people aren’t your audience anyway. We love you guys and will be intentional about liking and commenting more to help offset the negative energy. Thank you for the honesty in this video and over the years. Cheers to this new season, gents.
Anyone leaving negative or homophobic comments must be miserable with their own lives. The two of you are lovely, your jobs (even though I know its still hard work) are an absolute dream, you have built a lovely home, and you both seem like genuinely kind people. I have been watching for years and in the back of my mind, knowing how gross the internet can be, have hoped that people have not been homophobic towards you two. I can't stand the thought of it. Just know that the majority of us love you and you are a positive corner of TH-cam that is appreciated and loved!
It is how TH-cam is. I remember when I tried to make a channel, I got hate comments with less than 200 views lol. It didn't go anywhere and I got out of that hobby.
I’m 62 year-old middle-class white woman with two grown beautiful and professional children who were raised to love all people. Be who you are and remember, the haters don’t hate you. They have miserable lives and are only trying to get a rise out of people. Keeping being exactly who you are. I absolutely adore your videos just as they are!
To be honest, I first saw you on your Disney cruises because I’m one of those “Disney Adults”. I’ve stayed because of you both. I love your kindness, humor (corny puns and all) and genuineness. Watching your videos makes me happy and takes me away from the stresses of life, if only for a little while. For every troll and hater there are so many more of us who truly think you’re awesome. Keep creating and I’ll keep watching!!! Much happiness with the new home and have a blast on your upcoming adventures!!
I’m a conservative straight woman and I absolutely love your videos. You make me laugh, you tell the truth and you’re a lovely couple. I don’t think you need to change a thing only do what makes you happy you both happy. ❤
TH-cam are crazy. Your videos are amazing. 68 year old woman here who loves watching you, your content and your relationship. May be one day I’ll even go on a cruise. Xx
Its a shame you felt a "reset" was needed, but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. My wife and I love you as a couple and as presenters. You publish valuable, factual views about the ships and their services, always in an entertaining way. Smiles cross our faces!
New member here. My wife and I LOVE your videos. DO NOT GIVE UP! Haters can cram it with walnuts! Know that there are TONS of people rooting for you! Keep on being amazing!
I’m a 76 year old lesbian in a 48 year marriage. I LOVE your videos! And, we love cruising! Especially loved your recent videos with your nephews and their challenges with cruising.
I'm 75, live in Michigan, USA, and absolutely love you guys. I love the longer videos, and don't care at all what the title is. As soon as I know it's you guys, I'm clicking on it. Your reviews are so fair, and your tours are so thorough, I love it! Please don't change your formula. It's perfect.
What I don't understand is why those trolls waste their time watching videos that bother them so much. Way to take the high road, and who cares what they think?
We are avid cruisers and I subscribed to your channel BECAUSE of your "unique" dynamite dude duo chemistry! I love how respectful you are to one another, to fellow cruisers and the crew! You are informative, funny, articulate and just overall great watching. There will always be a troll who can't just scroll just to be an a--h---! Sooooo... "Ahoy mates, I'm pirating your channel because you're both absolute treasures!" Get it? Got it? GOOD!
You all could use your Ben-isms as titles. Like when Ben eat something tasty and he proclaims, " Madonna upside down on a pogo stick that's good!" Some creators have the it factor most don't, you guys do so I'm sure you'll figure it out. 👍
As someone who has watched you through 2 pregnancies, dont ever change. Ive watched you guys through so many midnight feeds, pump sessions, sleepless nights. You are support in more ways than you'd think. Dont ever change. My oldest, 6yr old even recognizes you You guys are a staple in my house
I am a 61 year old straightish non cruiser.. I would never take a cruise. I get sea sick, sometimes even watching you cruise. But yet here I am. I watch for your personalities and everything about the 2 of you and your adorable family. The parts I enjoy the most are the food, and routine of the trips. I could listen to either of you read the phone book, so much personality. Please ignore the haters, you are for sure my favorite couple to watch.
@@katajha831 Same here. Wouldn't cruise again at 60, and I live in a cruise port. Don't drink because I'm in recovery. Don't eat because I'm on Mounjaro. 😂 Still love watching their cruises.
So glad you guys are sticking it out! You're my #1 channel for cruise videos. You guys have a great balance of helpful content and your fun personalities. ❤
First - I love your personalities. Second - I really enjoy you sharing your experiences. Third - your new home is beautiful. Last - If you stopped, I'd really miss both of you!
My husband and I can only afford to infrequently cruise so we live vicariously through TH-camrs such as you. You give us great pleasure watching you cruise and being your lovely selves. We especially love your kindness and protection of Steph during her journey. Please continue being yourselves.
You two are my wife and I Sunday evenings, please never change! We love any length of video as long as it exists! Otherwise at the end of our weekends aren't the same without you both!
I love you both just the way you are! You’re positive, honest, well spoken, and your love for each other is evident and so sweet. This straight old senior loves your videos!
I normally stay out of the comment section. I wanted to drop in to say- please don't change your lovely selves. It is so nice to have the Queer community (my community) represented. I really love the new house!! Keep being you.
I love that you guys have remained honest, and I know I can trust your reviews! your character and humor is a bright light in the world, so keep on being yourselves!
What I see is two handsome, intelligent, personable gentlemen whose videos are informative, entertaining & well thought out. You do you. I enjoy you just the way you are.❤❤
You guys are some of the sweetest, most respectful, truthful, most polite, kindest, good natured people out there. Try to not pay any attention to nasty people. Excited about your upcoming cruises! Keep on rocking it!!!
Hi from San Antonio, Texas! At 77, I’m past my cruising days but religiously watch all your videos because you make me happy with your genuine kindness and your sometimes goofy humor. Please don’t change any more than you have to, to satisfy the TH-cam Algorithm Monster. Love from one of your biggest fans.
Please don't change. I love you guys. Unfortunately, the haters are going to hate. For every negative, there are 10 positives. You tube needs to pull their heads in
I am impressed and entertained by the constant influx of witicisms. Love these guys, but don't punish me and call me a delinquent, but I just subscribed. Onward and upward. Many more!
The two of you are very upbeat and honest. You find a way to highlight the negative without being nasty. I love the 2 of you and your how you interact with each other. I am a "boomer" and I am proud to be a subscriber!
You both are like sunshine on a cloudy day. PLEASE continue this channel and more importantly, just continue to be you! Because that is what you both do best.
Please please please don't change!! As Billy Joel said, I love you just the way you are!!! People who don't appreciate you two are welcome to take the plank off the ship!!
Hi guys. I'm a 73-year-old white conservative Christian. Your videos brighten my days. I see two very happy people who bring happiness to others. Negative people are unhappy people, and that is not you. Much love❤you go with what makes you happy
TH-cam takes everything people hate: clickbait, extreme overreacting, those awful “shorts”, insane luxury that’s completely out of reach (sponsored is the worst), and just jams it down everyone’s throats. THIS GARBAGE UNDER PERFORMING FOR A REASON TH-cam! Don’t go slapping an algorithm on it to make it work, just chill, let people like what they like! YT should consider the success of the Great British Bake Off and how many comments center on comfort watching, catching up with old friends we don’t know IRL, learning about things we maybe can’t experience on our own because we’re caregivers or people battling really tough medical conditions. Anyway, we hear you, and we love you. I immediately blocked a cruise creator YT was pushing on me, who was commenting on other cruiser’s appearances (assuming they were trying to be funny) but it was just awful. You two are just so lovely and have wonderful production values, and I appreciate that immensely.
What *I* love about your videos? Your GUT HONESTY in what you see/feel about the cruise line, ship, experience! i.e. your June 2024 Magic (10 years later from your first EVER cruise) video: you guys did NOT pull any punches on the issues you encountered (filthy cabin, odd mix-up with other people *maybe* assigned to your cabin).
Never apologise for being you. Your subscribers will always know when your videos drop and we never miss out on seeing your hilarious, honest reviews. You’re both amazing; keep to your values and ignore the haters. ❤
I watch your videos every week and learn so much from you both. I love your warmth and kindness, but especially appreciate your honesty. Thank you for all you do.
I love your "real" content. TH-cam needs to stop playing with that dang algorithm because most people get annoyed with those shock/negative videos. It gets old. You two are so refreshing and authentic. ❤
Scoot is owned by Singapore Airlines, it’s a great low cost carrier! We love your channel and we love you both. A wonderful example of love and partnership ❤
My mom and I just started watching your channel, and we love it! I think we must have binged the channel for the whole day today, lol! Thank you for sharing your journeys with us! You guys are the perfect mixture of informative and fun. Much love!
I wish TH-cam would listen to the masses. Most of us hate clickbate. Love your videos just the way they are, and even if you have to change your video titles, I will still watch. Your both great, and I love your humor!
I’m a 70-year old conservative, straight women who discovered your wonderful channel in the spring when researching for a cruise to Alaska. I have been following your videos ever since. You are kind, funny, honest, informative, and I love the spark and the happiness you share with each other. Never, ever change. I encourage my friends to watch your channel when they are looking for cruise ideas and hope they pass the word on. I will be there to watch you, dumb clickbait titles or not!
Me too! Old lady, white, conservative and totally IN LOVE with Ben and David, wish you lived in my neighborhood (I’m in the USA). I will be sure to look for their videos
I can't tell you how happy I am for your new home, and your exciting year. To heck with the haters, you are both such wonderful ppl, and I for one appreciate you both.
Love your videos please don’t change a thing. If anyone has a problem with you it’s their problem not yours. Don’t let them get you down. Can’t wait for your next adventures. Love to you both. xx
You are you, and that is perfect. You don’t need to be anything less of anything, because who you are is what makes you fun to watch. Love your sense of humor and the way you treat each other with consideration. The earth needs more of that kind of kindness. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your content!
So sorry to hear about some of the awful comments. TH-cam should pull its finger out and do something about it. Be yourselves, don’t ever change. It’s one of the reasons I ❤ your channel.
I've always heard that the more popular you get, the more trolls that you get, too. Must mean that you're doing something right! ❤ Thank you both for the excellent, quality content that you give us.
We love you and your channel just the way you are!!! We really appreciate everything you do!! We love each and every one of your videos simply because of you!!!
You've always been perfectly honest with us about the cabins, the food and the excursions. Thanks for taking us into your confidence about the behind-the-scenes scenes stuff too. Sending love and a strong vote for continued long-term content!
you guys are just awesome! you got me through my foot surgery last year and now i'm hooked. i can't even imagine what it's like to deal with trolls and just shrug off the nasty comments , you are stronger than me :)
Don’t let the trolls get you down. It makes me sick that you guys have to deal with homophobia. I love your videos and I’ve learned so much. You do you! And I’ll keep watching. Peace.
I don't have any complaints about your channel. Y'all cheer me up. I love both of your accents! Y'all have a great sense of humor! I love watching your family when you have them on! Your mom and the kids are a hoot!!! I wouldn't change a thing!
You two could fill up theaters if you ever choose to do a speaking tour - maybe to promote the amazing book you'll write someday! 😊 Keep being yourselves - we love you! 🥰

I can't stand the innuendo. Disgusting
I was heartbroken (but not surprised) to hear about the ugliness you both are experiencing. This is my first time commenting but we have been watching you since a few shorts months after you started your channel. I hope someday we bump into you both on a cruise!
We never book a cruise before searching your channel for past reviews.
LOVE THE NEW HOME! That espresso machine is to die for! xxoo
Love your videos. Aloha from Hawaii. ❤
@@TaraCatoggeit’s all click and bait. I subscribe so I check my favorites daily.
You asked...simple answer. We want YOU! Your humor, your honesty, your excitement, your sense of fun, your lovely relationship. Please don't change.
Perfect post! ❤❤❤
Love your new place! Looking forward
to your Australian cruise. I never read titles; I just look for " Ben and David"
and watch whatever you post.
Well said, Holly. You have spoken for the majority.
This!!
Absolutely agree. Stay as you are.
We watch every video you post. Please don’t change. We like you just the way you are.
❤
Change is good. But don't change you. Keep taking us places we can't go.
I agree 100 %
Couldn’t agree more!❤
Right on, don’t change ❤️🇨🇦❤️
I love the normal videos. I do not like the clickbaity titles at all. I find them annoying. I actually just go to the creators I follow each week to find their videos, and search for topics I am interested in so the clickbaity titles don't do anything for me at all.
Yeah, the click bait titles are pretty juvenile. TH-cam is trying to become tiktok.
Me too
Well said!
We hate them too! We always make sure the video content matches the title if we go for a strong title! We don’t want our viewers being disappointed.
Same also
Guys, I am going to reiterate what a few people said. I am a 35-year-old conservative, white straight male and I love your channel. All those people leaving hateful comments can get lost. We all have different lifestyles and we are free to disagree on some things, but everyone should be judged on the content of their character. You guys rock!
Don't EVER change guys, love you exactly how you are.
I will never understand people who spend their time spewing hate. Please know there are tons of us who watch you with joy.
Oh, and enjoy New Zealand - it's amazing!!!!
As a conservative straight man I have to say this. Please don’t change. Please keep being the Ben and David that I love watching every Sunday. You guys helped me and my wife during lockdowns. PS.

Don't you mean thar they are one of your fravorite(!) couples. 😀
YES! This is me, conservative and straight, but I love these guys! Do not change! We love you!
agree.....but we shouldn't have to label who / what we are. it doesn't matter to people who are not still back in the Stone Age.
Same they crack me up and really fun videos.
David and Ben, you guys are soooooo loved. Never stop being the people you are. We all look forward to your podcast.
I'm sorry guys that u r going thru this. I'm a 74 yr old white woman, a former nurse living in Florida that really appreciates your honesty, the content of showing me all your trips & the joy & humor & love u put out to everyone. I laugh out loud with your humor & jokes & at some things that are very British that delight me. I want a world where we can all love whomever we wish.
Your love as a couple comes thru in such a positive joyous way. I don't watch any other utubes regularly as I watch you both. Please know there are so many people like me & don't give up making honest content we all love. This world can be harsh & you guys are my highlight now that my cruising days are over. Thank you.
I agree wholeheartedly. The guys are a highlight of my week. I follow many travel vlogs and Ben and David are my favs also.
I agree! We can all come from different walks of life and still love each other! Ben & David make me laugh and educate me at the same time.
Well said. I love to watch their videos and especially when I’m having particularly painful day ( I have an injury/ illness that means constant pain). I think they are so sweet with their families and each other. Does me such good. Better than any medicine! 😊

One of the reasons yours is one of only a couple of channels I ALWAYS watch is because you are genuine - genuinely yourselves, genuinely honest, genuinely entertaining, genuinely kind. Please don't ever change.
I dont care what you caption your videos. I watch you two because you're relaxing to watch. So do whatever you have to do. I'll still keep watching.
I agree, it does not make a difference to me what the caption is as I watch all your videos regardless. Also dont care if you gay, straight, green, black, white, yellow, alien or anything else because its you that makes the channel not what you look like or anything else.
Ditto!!! Their title could read “come watch paint dry and grass grow” and I’ll still watch!
Please don’t ever change, you are my comfort channel. I love you both so much, your sense of humour and your personalities bring me so much joy. I hope to bump into you on a cruise someday. Happy cruising!!
This 73 year old white straight Canadian gal lives vicariously thru your travels. Please keeps it up. Love you two and your fun personalities 💖
So, are you tossing them a bone, letting them know who you like to have sex with? Wow! What difference does it make who you like to have sex with?!
We, an 80 year old Illinois couple, truly enjoy your travels, your families, your videos, and your new house! Keep sharing your adventures. ❤
I hope the two of ye have many years of happiness in your new nest. Don't change as you are what we the fans love and want.
DO NOT CHANGE A THING. You are wonderful to watch because you are authentic, funny, and a little bit cheeky. We want to watch you being you!
Two of the best videos that I have seen on TH-cam are 1) Ben’s Mom’s first cruise and 2) the cruise with your nephews.
Thank you !

💯!!! That was me. I found you guys a few months ago and watched almost every single video.
You guys are so charming. It makes me furious that anyone would say un-nice things. I was never even interested in going on a cruise until I happened upon you and now I look forward to watching all your videos and going on a cruise one day.
You like how he pretends to have a coffee with an empty cup. LOL what a goose.
Ben/David - I am so sorry you have received horrible comments. I find such joy in your channel, your travels, your adventures, your reviews. Please pay no attention to those who seek to destroy ..the only ones they denegrate are themselves.
Don’t leave. Your videos helped me get through cancer and now that I am in remission, I watch to get my Ben & David fix. I love watching your videos with your family. Ignore the negative Nancy’s you both are awesome!
Do NOT change. I swear if Ben stops his sausage innuendo, I will scream 😂
😂 Agreed!
Agreed!
Or ball shaped foods! 😂
What I like about your channel is that despite never having been on a cruise, nor do I intend to, I come back to watch you guys because you are friendly and funny! :)
I’m always here for Ben’s food quips. Don’t let other peoples ignorance and negativity take away from your happiness and success. You’re both awesome.
Narrow-minded people aren’t your audience anyway. We love you guys and will be intentional about liking and commenting more to help offset the negative energy. Thank you for the honesty in this video and over the years. Cheers to this new season, gents.
Anyone leaving negative or homophobic comments must be miserable with their own lives. The two of you are lovely, your jobs (even though I know its still hard work) are an absolute dream, you have built a lovely home, and you both seem like genuinely kind people. I have been watching for years and in the back of my mind, knowing how gross the internet can be, have hoped that people have not been homophobic towards you two. I can't stand the thought of it. Just know that the majority of us love you and you are a positive corner of TH-cam that is appreciated and loved!
Nothing riles the trolls more than a handsome gay married couple living their best life
It is how TH-cam is. I remember when I tried to make a channel, I got hate comments with less than 200 views lol. It didn't go anywhere and I got out of that hobby.
I’m 62 year-old middle-class white woman with two grown beautiful and professional children who were raised to love all people. Be who you are and remember, the haters don’t hate you. They have miserable lives and are only trying to get a rise out of people. Keeping being exactly who you are. I absolutely adore your videos just as they are!
To be honest, I first saw you on your Disney cruises because I’m one of those “Disney Adults”. I’ve stayed because of you both. I love your kindness, humor (corny puns and all) and genuineness. Watching your videos makes me happy and takes me away from the stresses of life, if only for a little while. For every troll and hater there are so many more of us who truly think you’re awesome. Keep creating and I’ll keep watching!!! Much happiness with the new home and have a blast on your upcoming adventures!!
I’m a conservative straight woman and I absolutely love your videos. You make me laugh, you tell the truth and you’re a lovely couple. I don’t think you need to change a thing only do what makes you happy you both happy. ❤
TH-cam are crazy. Your videos are amazing. 68 year old woman here who loves watching you, your content and your relationship. May be one day I’ll even go on a cruise. Xx
Its a shame you felt a "reset" was needed, but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. My wife and I love you as a couple and as presenters. You publish valuable, factual views about the ships and their services, always in an entertaining way. Smiles cross our faces!
New member here. My wife and I LOVE your videos. DO NOT GIVE UP! Haters can cram it with walnuts! Know that there are TONS of people rooting for you! Keep on being amazing!
I’m a 76 year old lesbian in a 48 year marriage. I LOVE your videos! And, we love cruising! Especially loved your recent videos with your nephews and their challenges with cruising.
Please don’t change. The reason I watch you is because you are so down to earth. A shame you aren’t allowed to be normal. 😢❤
Love you guys hang in there will support you !
I'm 75, live in Michigan, USA, and absolutely love you guys. I love the longer videos, and don't care at all what the title is. As soon as I know it's you guys, I'm clicking on it. Your reviews are so fair, and your tours are so thorough, I love it! Please don't change your formula. It's perfect.
I agree with you!
What I don't understand is why those trolls waste their time watching videos that bother them so much. Way to take the high road, and who cares what they think?
Bring your beautiful nephews back. They are lovely boys!!!
We are avid cruisers and I subscribed to your channel BECAUSE of your "unique" dynamite dude duo chemistry! I love how respectful you are to one another, to fellow cruisers and the crew! You are informative, funny, articulate and just overall great watching. There will always be a troll who can't just scroll just to be an a--h---! Sooooo... "Ahoy mates, I'm pirating your channel because you're both absolute treasures!" Get it? Got it? GOOD!
You all could use your Ben-isms as titles. Like when Ben eat something tasty and he proclaims, " Madonna upside down on a pogo stick that's good!"
Some creators have the it factor most don't, you guys do so I'm sure you'll figure it out. 👍
I like that
This is the way! 😊
Great idea
Brilliant!
Brilliant way of playing the algorithm 😊
As someone who has watched you through 2 pregnancies, dont ever change. Ive watched you guys through so many midnight feeds, pump sessions, sleepless nights. You are support in more ways than you'd think.
Dont ever change.
My oldest, 6yr old even recognizes you
You guys are a staple in my house
I am a 61 year old straightish non cruiser.. I would never take a cruise. I get sea sick, sometimes even watching you cruise. But yet here I am. I watch for your personalities and everything about the 2 of you and your adorable family. The parts I enjoy the most are the food, and routine of the trips. I could listen to either of you read the phone book, so much personality. Please ignore the haters, you are for sure my favorite couple to watch.
@@katajha831 Same here. Wouldn't cruise again at 60, and I live in a cruise port. Don't drink because I'm in recovery. Don't eat because I'm on Mounjaro. 😂 Still love watching their cruises.
So glad you guys are sticking it out! You're my #1 channel for cruise videos. You guys have a great balance of helpful content and your fun personalities. ❤
First - I love your personalities. Second - I really enjoy you sharing your experiences. Third - your new home is beautiful. Last - If you stopped, I'd really miss both of you!
My husband and I can only afford to infrequently cruise so we live vicariously through TH-camrs such as you. You give us great pleasure watching you cruise and being your lovely selves. We especially love your kindness and protection of Steph during her journey. Please continue being yourselves.
I also live vicariously through their adventures…
Don't change! You're loved exactly the way you are ❤
My wife and I love your content. Your personalities and honest opinions make your channel unique and special. Thank you for what you do!
Haters gonna hate. We watch you guys BECAUSE you're cheeky, silly, and make us smile. Don't change a thing, see you on Utopia!
You asked. Don't change. It's not broken and doesn't need fixing. I love living vicariously through you, especially when you include family trips. Xxx
You two are my wife and I Sunday evenings, please never change! We love any length of video as long as it exists! Otherwise at the end of our weekends aren't the same without you both!
I love you both just the way you are! You’re positive, honest, well spoken, and your love for each other is evident and so sweet. This straight old senior loves your videos!
I normally stay out of the comment section. I wanted to drop in to say- please don't change your lovely selves. It is so nice to have the Queer community (my community) represented. I really love the new house!! Keep being you.
Here here ! 🌈
My dear boys. I just want to hug you both and remind you that peace and love will prevail.
No more hate and division.
We're NOT going back.
You guys are who you are and you both are AWESOME!!❤😊
I love that you guys have remained honest, and I know I can trust your reviews! your character and humor is a bright light in the world, so keep on being yourselves!
What I see is two handsome, intelligent, personable gentlemen whose videos are informative, entertaining & well thought out. You do you. I enjoy you just the way you are.❤❤
You guys are some of the sweetest, most respectful, truthful, most polite, kindest, good natured people out there. Try to not pay any attention to nasty people. Excited about your upcoming cruises! Keep on rocking it!!!
Hi from San Antonio, Texas! At 77, I’m past my cruising days but religiously watch all your videos because you make me happy with your genuine kindness and your sometimes goofy humor. Please don’t change any more than you have to, to satisfy the TH-cam Algorithm Monster. Love from one of your biggest fans.
I LOVE Y'all. We ❤ cruising, Celebrity & Holland America and I trust your opinions. Please don't leave 😢
Please don't change. I love you guys. Unfortunately, the haters are going to hate. For every negative, there are 10 positives. You tube needs to pull their heads in
Don’t ever change!!! Don’t be “less gay” be you, I love you. I’ve taken “paint me gold and call me Oscar” as my own 😘
lol !
Fly me to the moon and call me an astronaut, don't change.
😂🤣😂
I am impressed and entertained by the constant influx of witicisms. Love these guys, but don't punish me and call me a delinquent, but I just subscribed. Onward and upward. Many more!
The two of you are very upbeat and honest. You find a way to highlight the negative without being nasty. I love the 2 of you and your how you interact with each other. I am a "boomer" and I am proud to be a subscriber!
You both are like sunshine on a cloudy day. PLEASE continue this channel and more importantly, just continue to be you! Because that is what you both do best.
Please please please don't change!! As Billy Joel said, I love you just the way you are!!!
People who don't appreciate you two are welcome to take the plank off the ship!!
I would never take a cruise BUT only watch because you guys are so cute! Remember, "They hate us because they ain't us!" Xoxo Darlene
Hi guys. I'm a 73-year-old white conservative Christian. Your videos brighten my days. I see two very happy people who bring happiness to others. Negative people are unhappy people, and that is not you. Much love❤you go with what makes you happy
I feel the same! I'm a 48 year old white conservative. I absolutely love these guys. They make me laugh!!😊
Very well said 🙏
Just stay the way you are. Your videos are delightful and informative. Thanks for all you do.
I'm a 60-year-old white liberal, so you have your political bases covered. 😅
God believers are so dumb
TH-cam takes everything people hate: clickbait, extreme overreacting, those awful “shorts”, insane luxury that’s completely out of reach (sponsored is the worst), and just jams it down everyone’s throats. THIS GARBAGE UNDER PERFORMING FOR A REASON TH-cam! Don’t go slapping an algorithm on it to make it work, just chill, let people like what they like! YT should consider the success of the Great British Bake Off and how many comments center on comfort watching, catching up with old friends we don’t know IRL, learning about things we maybe can’t experience on our own because we’re caregivers or people battling really tough medical conditions.
Anyway, we hear you, and we love you. I immediately blocked a cruise creator YT was pushing on me, who was commenting on other cruiser’s appearances (assuming they were trying to be funny) but it was just awful. You two are just so lovely and have wonderful production values, and I appreciate that immensely.
These guys show large aspects n areas of each ship. I feel like I'm right there🎉
What *I* love about your videos? Your GUT HONESTY in what you see/feel about the cruise line, ship, experience! i.e. your June 2024 Magic (10 years later from your first EVER cruise) video: you guys did NOT pull any punches on the issues you encountered (filthy cabin, odd mix-up with other people *maybe* assigned to your cabin).
Hi Ben and David! I'm glad you're sticking with TH-cam! I love your channel!
Hello from Tampa FL USA. Please stay the way you are. Love your authentic selves. My dream trip is Australia and New Zealand can’t wait
Never apologise for being you. Your subscribers will always know when your videos drop and we never miss out on seeing your hilarious, honest reviews. You’re both amazing; keep to your values and ignore the haters. ❤
I watch your videos every week and learn so much from you both. I love your warmth and kindness, but especially appreciate your honesty. Thank you for all you do.
I love your "real" content. TH-cam needs to stop playing with that dang algorithm because most people get annoyed with those shock/negative videos. It gets old. You two are so refreshing and authentic. ❤
Scoot is owned by Singapore Airlines, it’s a great low cost carrier! We love your channel and we love you both. A wonderful example of love and partnership ❤
I am a 73 years old conservative woman and I love you both!! Don't change we love you! My husband loves you too!
My mom and I just started watching your channel, and we love it! I think we must have binged the channel for the whole day today, lol! Thank you for sharing your journeys with us! You guys are the perfect mixture of informative and fun. Much love!
I wish TH-cam would listen to the masses. Most of us hate clickbate. Love your videos just the way they are, and even if you have to change your video titles, I will still watch. Your both great, and I love your humor!
I’m a 70-year old conservative, straight women who discovered your wonderful channel in the spring when researching for a cruise to Alaska. I have been following your videos ever since. You are kind, funny, honest, informative, and I love the spark and the happiness you share with each other. Never, ever change. I encourage my friends to watch your channel when they are looking for cruise ideas and hope they pass the word on. I will be there to watch you, dumb clickbait titles or not!
Me too! Old lady, white, conservative and totally IN LOVE with Ben and David, wish you lived in my neighborhood (I’m in the USA). I will be sure to look for their videos
I can't tell you how happy I am for your new home, and your exciting year. To heck with the haters, you are both such wonderful ppl, and I for one appreciate you both.
Love your videos please don’t change a thing. If anyone has a problem with you it’s their problem not yours. Don’t let them get you down. Can’t wait for your next adventures. Love to you both. xx
You are you, and that is perfect. You don’t need to be anything less of anything, because who you are is what makes you fun to watch. Love your sense of humor and the way you treat each other with consideration. The earth needs more of that kind of kindness. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your content!
So sorry to hear about some of the awful comments. TH-cam should pull its finger out and do something about it. Be yourselves, don’t ever change. It’s one of the reasons I ❤ your channel.
I've always heard that the more popular you get, the more trolls that you get, too. Must mean that you're doing something right! ❤ Thank you both for the excellent, quality content that you give us.
We love you and your channel just the way you are!!!
We really appreciate everything you do!! We love each and every one of your videos simply because of you!!!
Don't quit, guys, your part of our Sunday funday every week. ❤
You've always been perfectly honest with us about the cabins, the food and the excursions. Thanks for taking us into your confidence about the behind-the-scenes scenes stuff too. Sending love and a strong vote for continued long-term content!
DON’T change!!! You are the only cruise channel I still watch. You are a joy to watch. Hope someday to cruise with you. ❤
you guys are just awesome! you got me through my foot surgery last year and now i'm hooked. i can't even imagine what it's like to deal with trolls and just shrug off the nasty comments , you are stronger than me :)
Don’t let the trolls get you down. It makes me sick that you guys have to deal with homophobia. I love your videos and I’ve learned so much. You do you! And I’ll keep watching. Peace.
Well said! I love their humour and authenticity. As for their sexuality, I don’t care!
I don't have any complaints about your channel. Y'all cheer me up. I love both of your accents! Y'all have a great sense of humor! I love watching your family when you have them on! Your mom and the kids are a hoot!!! I wouldn't change a thing!
Thank you so much!!
You are so precious, love all your content.❤😊
You two could fill up theaters if you ever choose to do a speaking tour - maybe to promote the amazing book you'll write someday! 😊 Keep being yourselves - we love you! 🥰
