Thank you Ben &David for your cruise review.I am a Maitr'd on Norwegian and I feel very proud of my company when you appreciate my company's operations.
Meeting the staff on NCL is one of my favorite parts of cruising. Everyone is so fun and friendly. And even best of all, I can get to know people from all over the world. Can't wait to see you guys on this ship in December :)
Really glad to see the hair drier, David will be needing that. The bathroom is perfect, you can have one sitting on the can, one is the shower and another brushing their teeth all in private. Greece is a fantastic place and Athens is wonderful. And it is clear test cruising is the way to go.
Very well-put-together video. Loved the camerawork, editing and music. The entertaining , laid-back presenting style makes you want to book the cruise to the places mentioned.
An epic installment! I used to often tell TH-camrs I enjoyed that they should go on television. I never say that anymore. Financially, there is no comparison. Even today television can be incredibly lucrative. But if you did a TV show you would lose much if not all of your control of your content. I would think twice, though the benefits may outweigh any disadvantages. Thank you for the video!
So excited to watch your vlogs on this trip! This was the last ship we were supposed to sail on, in May of 2020, to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from High School. Three weeks in Europe (everyone’s first time there except for my husband), including a two week cruise on the Jade. So many sad hours that we didn’t get to go! Cruising the Caribbean later this month and again in October but can’t wait to try for Europe again! Have an amazing time on board and thank you for for all the wonderful videos you put out!!! ❤️
Thanks for an awesome video. I am booked on Jade in a few months and this makes me very happy. I’ve sailed Jade before, and it’s great to see her again
So happy to see that you finally had time to compile this great video about your adventure on the Norwegian Jade. I'm looking forward to sharing it with the other Facebook folks on the Jade
Your content is really impressive. Love watching your videos. Just got off a cruise with Don and Tony. They were so friendly. Would love to cruise with Ben and David. Hopefully some day. Thanks for all your hard work guys, for our benefit.
My wife and I just sailed the Jade the 8th to the 15th, and cant agree more with everything you have said. Justin was great on the piano. We enjoyed him so much we caught his performance a second time!
Have been anxiously awaiting this video...it was great! 30 days to go until I am on the NCL Encore to Alaska and 87 until I am on the Epic, heading from BCN to Greece...first time for both! Thanks so much for a preview of Athens...can't wait!!
Nice tour. Sea shell, sea shell, sea shell!! Video tour of the food looks tasty and delicious. The beach looks relaxing and Rhodes looks like fun. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful adventures.
The porthole cover is a simple hinged window cover. Metal ones are storm covers to protect the port hole from heavy seas. They’re also called deadlights because they block light from entering and, in the case of military and merchant ships, prevent interior light from getting out which affords protection from enemy fire in times of armed conflict.
Thank you Ben and David! I’m going on my first cruise on NCL Jade next year, the name and the fact that it is a Greek Island cruise made it the perfect option for me! I’m already looking forward to future cruises thanks to your videos :)
I was on the Norwegian Jade for a cruise of Greece and Turkey that left from and returned to athens. It was a wonderful ship and a great experience. Because of the nearby war we lost the ports of Odessa and then even Romania and Bulgaria. But we gained a second night in Istanbul which was great. The only complaint I had about the Jade was that the Cagney's steakhouse was supper for an extra cost restaurant.
I'm glad you enjoyed the whole experience! I'm very happy to see what the ocean view cabin looks like. I'll be on the Pearl next June in an ocean view cabin. I was worried about the size of the cabin, but it really isn't as bad as I was thinking it might be.
I am So Glad NCL is back! We caught Justin Golen on the Gem before the pandemic - always an awesome show- i am booked on NCL in May and wishing i had dared to book sooner- thanks so much for sharing- i love your channel!!!
I cannot wait to be back on NCL. We did their Arabian itinerary in Nov 2019 & Rhodes was amazing. We're in hard lockdown - can't go more than 5kms from my front door -so seeing that majestic Rhodes wall again has just made my night
I so enjoy your postings.. you are such a cute couple and your postings are so informative with a personal touch … hope to be back cruising soon .. what a wonderful treat if I ever end up on one of your trips … keep them coming and Wyoming both days filled with sunshine!!!! 🙋♀️
This is another fine video. I agree with the others. Your editing is impeccable. I appreciate all the tips, this time, the ones about the COVID testing were very helpful to hear. I love the sound of your voices. Bon voyage!
Cindi Lauper! Loveit! I've been on the Jade in the Caribbean. I'm so glad to see NCL back on and I have booked for March 22 on the Pearl (Caribbean) and The Epic in September 22 (Mediterranean)
Great run down guys very professional. Jade was our first ever cruise in 2017 and we’re getting on her again for the third time on Sunday. Looking forward to our day in Rhodes after seeing your video. Thank you 😊
I can't believe how uncrowded the sites are now!!! Great time to go and see these amazing islands and cities in Greece. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always...KK
How Fantastic Boys! Greece is 1 of my favorite places on Earth and I cannot wait to get there again! So I am bound for Miami Sunday for my Monday 1st cruise back from the pandemic on MSC Meraviglia-wish me luck- the embarkation on the first cruise was almost 4 hours!!! I can't wait! Enjoy Iona that ship’s on my cruise bucket list! ***
You guys had me in tears, after 6 rebooked bookings we are going on the Epic 9/12 I agree been on many but still feel Norwegian is the best, looking forward to the new ship the Prima, working to save for cruising with her in 2023
I was on the Jade just a couple of weeks after Ben and David and also had a most enjoyable time. I should mention that I have some mobility issues and the buffet staff were extremely proactive in helping get my food to the table. Definitely I'd recommend this cruise on the Jade.
Hubby and I will ask staff to remove any mini bar items, including chargeable waters from our room at the beginning of our stay. It gives us more room/bench space/fridge space which we prefer and has the added benefit of preventing unwanted/incorrect charges on our bill.
Can’t wait to be back on NCL. Was due to go this month but cruise was cancelled - BUT rebooked next year on the brand new NCL Pr1ma- Sooooo excited !- just love your vid blogs guys - so informative
Really enjoyed this trip summary. I have enjoyed the NCL Jewel class sized ships in the past and was glad to see the Jade brought up to speed with some nice enhancements. I must say that your journey to Greece has emphasized my desire to visit the Mediterranean. So glad it went well for everyone. Thanks for sharing 🙏😎
Hello, gents! New subscriber here. Love the videos, and so happy to see our community represented! Have had wonderful experiences on cruise ships, but must say we were disappointed in our last NCL experience - a 7-day Med cruise on Norwegian Epic. Lots of up-charges - even for some of the entertainment! We do agree, though, that Norwegian has some of the best food at sea. Keep up the great work!
" Please don't dance.. It's so 'cheesy'. My darling Ben, we know that your heart was dancing like it was in a Disco, when you were almost aboard... Great vlog as always, guys! Thank you so much🌈🌈🌈🌈

Norwegian forever. Great job crew
You guy’s editing skills are officially off the chart. These videos are such a pleasure to watch.
I agree. Is Ben a Hollywood editor?
Agreeeed
Amazing editing!
You need a full show on TV, amazing !
YES!!!!
I like it when David dances 😄 Dance like nobody is watching David! You're such a sweetheart
Cindy Lauper. ..that coffee wants to have some fun 😅😅😅 brilliant ❣
The cover on the port hole is called a "Dead light"
I call them storm cover
I call them a porthole cover.
Sweet Christina Aguilera 😂 you guys are great! Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures with the rest of us.
Always cracks me up when David points out the Hairdryer. LOL
Dance David dance with joy!!! It's a very human expression!!! Thanks Ben and David for a very interesting trip
The edits on your videos are immaculate. Greece is gorgeous and vintage, thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for sharing! Your ports of call were amazing and you 2 Crack me up! Always fun to watch you! David has a lovely dance! 😊
So envious. After 20 cruises with NCL and booked on three next year, we were thrilled to see this. Thank you so much. You made our day😃😃😃
Really glad to see the hair drier, David will be needing that. The bathroom is perfect, you can have one sitting on the can, one is the shower and another brushing their teeth all in private. Greece is a fantastic place and Athens is wonderful. And it is clear test cruising is the way to go.

Always find these guys fun to watch. Easy listening and attention to detail.
I get so excited when I get a new notification for one of your videos. You guys are great! Cheers!
WOW WOW Greece looked beautiful, great job mates!!!

also David's Hawaiian shirt is amazing.
You chaps give me hope that cruising will be back as a fantastic holiday option as it was.
I love the new vlog. You both look so nice and sharp! The sun has done you well. Thank you for sharing. Much love from the USA. 💋

This just makes me want to cruise with Ben & David
Excellent in all aspects! I could feel the sun & sand between my toes despite living in a -40° climate right now. Thank You so very much!
Excited to see NCL back as also your on the same ship I am booked on this December 🤞🏾
Thanks for an awesome video. I am booked on Jade in a few months and this makes me very happy. I’ve sailed Jade before, and it’s great to see her again
Hi guys the port hole cover is called a Deadlight it was always shut in rough weather. Reminds me of my crew cabin many years ago on P&O.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Love that class of ship NCL offers.
So happy to see that you finally had time to compile this great video about your adventure on the Norwegian Jade. I'm looking forward to sharing it with the other Facebook folks on the Jade
Thanks guys I love Norwegian 15 times ! Love the crew! You two guys are great!!
Rhodes looks stunning! Thank you for sharing!!
Your content is really impressive. Love watching your videos. Just got off a cruise with Don and Tony. They were so friendly. Would love to cruise with Ben and David. Hopefully some day. Thanks for all your hard work guys, for our benefit.
Jade was my wife and my first ever cruise and it started our addiction.
Waiting another 200 days until we cruise again on the Disney Wonder.
Thanks for the preview of the pre-board testing process. Leaving on the NCL Encore to Alaska on Friday.
The two of you always do a wonderful job. I always enjoy watching you. Great information.
Welcome back Ben and David..relax and enjoy your cruise with Beautiful Norwegian Jade..
I’m booked on 2 NCL . Glad they r sailing again ..
My wife and I just sailed the Jade the 8th to the 15th, and cant agree more with everything you have said. Justin was great on the piano. We enjoyed him so much we caught his performance a second time!

This was very fun to watch. I'll be boarding the Jade in just a week with Atlantis, and I'm even MORE excited now! Cheers!
Thank you Ben and David! I’m going on my first cruise on NCL Jade next year, the name and the fact that it is a Greek Island cruise made it the perfect option for me! I’m already looking forward to future cruises thanks to your videos :)

Absolutely a great review of the Jade. You really should have a TV travel show.
Thank you for this video! I’m sailing on the Jade in October. It’s my first cruise, and I’m so excited!
Have a wonderful trip! We are set to sail on the Gem in October!
15 years ago I honeymooned in Athens. Thank you for bringing back the wonderful memories. I hope to go back one day.
I'm glad you enjoyed the whole experience! I'm very happy to see what the ocean view cabin looks like. I'll be on the Pearl next June in an ocean view cabin. I was worried about the size of the cabin, but it really isn't as bad as I was thinking it might be.
I am So Glad NCL is back! We caught Justin Golen on the Gem before the pandemic - always an awesome show- i am booked on NCL in May and wishing i had dared to book sooner- thanks so much for sharing- i love your channel!!!
I love the details!! I cannot wait to be back to sailing! Thanks Gentlemen!
I watched the entire cast’s rehearsal process a few months ago! They are sooo amazing!
I love you guys videos the best of any cruise ones. You actually take us with you so we have a full experience. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
You are both so honest and appreciative. Thank you! so much fun to watch ya'll having fun.
The Jade was my first NCL cruise and my second cruise ever. I'm so glad to see it again in this video and see the updates! Thanks for posting
Cover for a port hole is a deadlight

We are on the NCL Prima in August of next year. So looking forward to it! Until then, I’ll cruise vicariously through you. Keep up the good work!
Cindi Lauper! Loveit! I've been on the Jade in the Caribbean. I'm so glad to see NCL back on and I have booked for March 22 on the Pearl (Caribbean) and The Epic in September 22 (Mediterranean)
Hi guys, great video and fantastic Cruise .
I don't think that was birds you heard in Athens but Cicades which are like Crickets .
Great vid guys. Thanks for creating and keep us informed.
Hello, Ben & David I totally enjoyed your walk-through on the Jade my daughter and myself will be boarding in May. Thanks for the tips and updates.
Thank you. Hope you and your daughter have a wonderful cruise on the jade.
my first cruise was on the Jade back in 2009
Glad you guys enjoyed your cruise! Have to admit I was a bit jelly - we loved Rhodes and wished we were there!!!!
Great run down guys very professional. Jade was our first ever cruise in 2017 and we’re getting on her again for the third time on Sunday. Looking forward to our day in Rhodes after seeing your video. Thank you 😊
Brilliant video, as per usual. I love how you were so complimentary towards the crew. ❤
I had pretty much the same room years ago. I was quite impressed!
I can't believe how uncrowded the sites are now!!! Great time to go and see these amazing islands and cities in Greece. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always...KK
You have to love those sea shells. Thanks for all the info. You two are awesome.
You two are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE cruise vloggers!! I can’t wait for the next video!!
Another great vlog, we're due to board the Jade in January '22, Cape Town to Dubai hopefully, was last on her in 2012. Keep up the good work!
love love love the Jewel class ships. (even though I have only been on Jade and Pearl). this is making me homesick :)
Thanks for the video, so nice to see NCL cruising again! How did you wind up on a test cruise?
Thank you for the video. Wonderful! Enlightening!
Oh I love Jade. Perfect size ship for me. Check out the thermal suites!
TheJade is the same size as Pearl & Jewel . So easy to get around .

NCL is my favourite!
You guys had me in tears, after 6 rebooked bookings we are going on the Epic 9/12 I agree been on many but still feel Norwegian is the best, looking forward to the new ship the Prima, working to save for cruising with her in 2023
Is it from barcelona
We're booked on this aswell... Our first cruise since january 2020.
I was on the Jade just a couple of weeks after Ben and David and also had a most enjoyable time. I should mention that I have some mobility issues and the buffet staff were extremely proactive in helping get my food to the table. Definitely I'd recommend this cruise on the Jade.
Hey Ed, thanks for your comment. It's really nice to hear about your experience on the jade.

YES YES MY 2 FAVORITE ♥️🤗🌈 I'm enjoying always waiting for your video to come because I know you have something good to see and your jokes ♥️♥️♥️😂
Thank you Ben and David for sharing what I can expect. Going on NCL Breakaway Oct 31st. I'm super excited.

I have 70 cruises … most all on NCL . I’m booked on the PRIMA IN 2023 .. the GEM in April 2022 .. transatlantic for both …
I'm so happy for you!
