GOOD afternoon ben and david! i l ilve thru your eyes since i am a senior and suffer from anxiety sending much love from your adopted gram in Ct xoxo
David "getting a taste of David's sausage!" I'm dead! I'm still giggling!! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🤮 🤮 gross
@@LVPB Homophobic hater!!
“Doesn’t taste like what jt looks like” is exactly my thoughts on many “sausages”. 😅
@@LVPBoh grow a sense of humor. Life suck less when you suck more.
"The ship is really moving... Oh we're in port!" LOL 😅😅😂
He said "STAB ME WITH A FORK & CALL ME A MICROWAVE" 😂😂😂😂😂
Good one guys!!
Yep didn’t get that one 🤷♀️
They need to make a video of all of Ben’s food comments.
Hahaha. I had to laugh about u dropping ur medallion through the hole on the lift (elevator in America). When I was 16 me, my cousin and my best friend went to Myrtle Beach in SC to a nursing conference with my mom. She was at the conference and we were going to go out to eat. When we got on the elevator I dropped the keys (the only keys) down that hole. We freaked out. Didn't know what we were going to do. That's when we found out that they could stop the elevator on a higher floor and go through the basement to get the keys. We didn't tell my mom about it for years....lol.
I love that saucy smirk Ben gives when he's tossed off a cheeky remark. 😂😂😂😂
Yes 😂
Hi Ben and David - I cannot believe it I’ve had my medication already and your notification bell flashed up so I can watch your Vlog/video video straight away - I’m just saying hello now in case I don’t get a chance later if one of the carers or nurses comes in - as you know I love my Sunday nights because you can always make me smile and feel better - I hope you had a good week - I’m not too bad just my multiple Sclerosis has flared up so I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow - I’m going to start watching your Vlog/video. Have a good week. Thanks once again for all your hard work and putting the Vlog/video up - sending loads of love and loads of hugs to you both. ~ Xxx Xxx
Hello Louise. I watch Ben and David too they are such good fun and I always find myself laughing. I hope your health is improving take care. Lots of good wishes to you x Jo
Louise, I understand why you enjoy watching cruise blogs like this in spite of your medical issues. I have them too, but i love Ben and David! Please take care and have a good day.
❤
Car-tah- HAY-nah
Always take care of your medalion
I loved Cartagena, (Cart-a- hay-na). I thought it was beautiful. I sat and enjoyed a cigar while just soaking it all in. I was solo, I got lost, (I have a a cognitive impairment that sometimes causes forgetfulness and disorientation), and accidentally came across an ancient coliseum. But I was prepared with a map downloaded to my phone, and it got me back.
It’s actually “car-tuh-hay-nah”. There is no “y” sound at the end since the “n” is merely an “n” and not an “ñ” or “enyay”.
@@bettygreenhansen OK. I fixed it.
@@Lord.Kiltridge perfect!
I wish they'd make some effort to learn to pronounce the names of the places they visit. They went to Puerto Rico and called the city "San Joo-Ann" 😂
Between david sausage and the dessert I think this might be the cruise for adults😂😂only.
Your guys humor has me laughing out loud. 🤣
SAUSAGE 😂
Having watched them for a couple years now, I've decided they're so effective since they're a modern version of the comic team Laurel and Hardy.
I find the lack of veggie options really frustrating- I recently sailed with NCL and quite often there would be no veggie options on their entire dinner menu. They said they could make adjustments to the meat options but most of the time all they could do was give me a plate of veggies with some fruit for pudding. It was very disappointing especially as we were in the haven. My mum pointed out that lots of meat eaters like to eat veggie every now and again too, so it makes no sense not to provide a veggie choice!!
Stay homr.
It must be even worse for vegans. My first vegan meal was at a place called On The Eighth Day on Oxford road, Manchester, uk. Back in the 1970s. It consisted of spring (bitter, dark green) cabbage with a neat soy sauce dressing. That put me off vegan ever since ;)
2007, checked into a hotel in Paris very close to the Eiffel Tower. They handed me an old fashioned metal key on a key chain with a big brass fob. And I promptly dropped it down the crack going into the elevator. Si bête.
I visited Cartagena (Cart - A - Hen - Yah) in 2016 on a transatlantic cruise. I went to the Roman Amphitheatre, which was only discovered in the 1980s. It was spectacular! Do go there next time you are in Cartagena.
Ah not yah, it’s a normal n not a ñ.
David cracked me up when you said where is O’Malley’s pub, and he answers in Ireland 🤣😂🤣👏
The funniest B&D breakfast, ever. Made my day. Thanks, guys.
Really enjoyed this one - it looks like Princess have done really well with the venues on this ship - it looks so refreshingly different to the rest of their fleet. It's a shame that they've launched the ship without all of the entertainment being 'good to go', but I'll be excited to see what comes in due course!
I am so happy you enjoyed the taste of David's sausage 😂. Those Bento boxes looked amazing ❤
haha
Losing stuff via the narrow gap of the elevator actually happens to more people than you think. It happened to me before too. 😂
Surprised David doesn't use the wristband option to contain the medallion or a lanyard/necklace style.
OMG, you guys crack me up. Watching you at breakfast, then having drinks by the pool and getting lost on the ship. 😂
You 2 are one of my favorite parts of Sunday!❤
😍
I would love to see yall do all inclusive resorts too 😊 I love watching yall❤
You are hilarious today, I love your breakfast description…
Between your cheeky puns laden Breakfast and you getting lost in the ship, you two are hilarious. I appreciate your honest review. ❤
This made me literally laugh out loud. Absolutely love and look forward to your videos!
The ship should have an onboard GPS system.
Tiddly Ben is a great addition to the channel. Once again a great video.
HP Sauce rocks. It is available in Canada and we always have some in the cupboard! Carta hayne ya.
You guys crack me up! Such wonderful senses of humor! 😂 I found your channel a few months ago leading up to our cruise on NCL Prima. Our cruise was month’s ago, but as soon as I see you post a video I watch it! Thank you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DAVID!!!
Since I was little watching "The Love Boat," I have dreamt of going on a cruise. I still have yet to make this bucket list happen...but you have convinced me that my first cruise should be on the Sun Princess. Thank you for the details! Looks like the two of you had such a fun & great time!!
We travel Princess a lot as our preferred line, and they play The Love Boat series on the telly on all the ships we've been on. It's quite nostalgic. We actually sailed on the original love boat for its final cruise out of Australia. It was a small ship, 500 guests, and no children.
The balcony was large with the depth for chaise lounges. Whereas these days you're lucky to get a couple of small seats with little leg room. The rest of the ship was a delight, not exactly like the show, but enough to feel sad that it was being sold off. The ships are getting too big for us.
I watched Love Boat as a kid as well. I’ve been on one cruise. It was a Caribbean cruise on Norwegian about 25 years ago. It’s not all that great honestly. The food was great, but that got old. There is a lot to do if you like getting drunk, eating too much, cheesey live shows, gambling, crowded swimming pools and shopping. I’m not a fan of any of that. Every single stop I wanted to stay off the ship as much as possible and dreaded going back on. Guess it depends on what you like to do on vacations. I do enjoy watching other people take cruises though. Go figure! 😂
LoL at getting lost trying to get to the Sanctuary. I LOL’d! 😅
Hi Ben and David, kar- tuh-hay-na is the closest in English. I love 5he decor of your cabin in this vlog. It looks lovely! Love the ship too. ❤
I now watch for Miranda references and I got a Little Britain reference as a bonus!
First happy birthday David! now a great watch to be sure
I love your videos. Your humor is so enjoyable and just the best! Cheers!
David that’s so funny about your medallion. One morning I was leaving my night shift as a nurse. I pulled my glove out of my pocket and bounce , bounce, bing the fob went down a storm drain.
I think they launched the ship to soon. There is so much thats not ready. I'm sorry, but if your paying full price for your cruise. Everything that the shipoffets should ready.
Happy Birthday David🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Looks like you two really enjoyed this cruise and this ship. You both are so enjoyable to follow. Appreciate your honesty. Love your dialogue.
Nothing better than watching your cruise videos while on a cruise! Keep making great cruising content!
I hope you can review her again in the future when everything is completed. Maybe the 14 day cruise on March 1, 2025 would be a good time to go again.
That is when we will be on her. 😂
Thanks for doing what you do! Not only do you provide so much helpful information, but you are definitely the most entertaining TH-camrs we have seen!
Interesting upload as always. Would be helpful if us have rated the food in two categories, first, the food included then the food that’s an upcharge, form your score, I guess the upchage food dragged up the included food score..
I think it’s a great idea to limit your choices for breakfast in the main dining room. Gets you in and out quick on a port day and if you want more variety hit the Eatery!!!
Yes, but instead of cutting out oatmeal, they should cut out bacon and sausage! That way I would have something to eat and those who normally eat a lot of meat could give thier arteries a brief break maybe. ;)
I would say if you are in a hurry go to the eatery- leave the dining room for those of us who do not want to"express" breakfast
We visited Cartagena on our first Mediterranean cruise and it was definitely one of the nicest places to visit . It looked very clean , well looked after and just a lovely historical place to visit . 😊
Happy Birthday David and as usual a great video.
Another fun video, gentlemen! My Sundays aren't complete without ship, food, and location reviews with a little humorous innuendo (try David's sausage 🤣) mixed in. Btw IF Cartagena, Spain is pronounced the same as Cartagena, Colombia (both Spanish speaking), then it's pronounced "kart-uh-HAYN-yuh."
Bad boy! They probably need to take on some provisions for the rest of your cruise. Hope you had a lovely time. Happy Birthday David, may you have many more, may you life be filled with love ,joy and many more cruises.😊
Wouldn't be a Sunday without Ben and David.
Thanks for the review! 😊
Happy Happy Birthday🎉
Glad you had a good time
David - don't feel bad about losing your medallion in the elevator. I had the same thing happen to the keys to our rental car in Ireland. Watched with a sickening feeling as they slithered into the crack after I dropped them. Fortunately, a maintenance man from our hotel was kind enough to fish them out for me.
Happy Birthday, David!
From David being a thruster last week and Ben trying David's sausage this week, I wonder what else do they actually put in the food on board. 😂
Good afternoon David and Ben. Look forward to crusing with you on Sunday. Breakfast looked delicious. Love the humor and smiles. You lifted my spirits. Love to you both, and God bless you.
You know, even though I’ve never been on a cruise and not sure I ever will, I still enjoy watching you guys. Love the food bits, innuendos and puns.
That was a great and very fair review guys! Thank you both.
Hi Ben and David... Oh my gosh Ben, going to try David's sausage!! 😄. Then to open your breakfast pastry, lol. Beautiful port! I think it's a shame they launch a new ship and it's not completely finished yet. Princess isn't the only one who does that but it seems like a lot of things weren't ready. Always appreciate your honest thoughts and reviews. As always thank you for all you do and the hard work to put these videos together. ❤❤
🎉 ❤ 🎁 Happy Birthday, David! 🎈🥂🍾🎈 Great cruise review, too.
Car-te-hey-na
Enjoy your review as always, and Ben’s polo shirt looks awesome!
It's pronunciation is Cart-eh-hen-yeah 😂 There's a movie that you guys can watch if you have time called Romancing the Stone with Micheal Douglas and Kathleen Turner. It was made in 84...but it's an all time favorite and I would live to see it ❤
Isn't that the Cartagena in Colombia, this is the one in Spain?
@@paulkeay5032 Um , I might be in the wrong place geographically speaking... lol. I don't think I remember hearing them say they were in spain.
@@paulkeay5032 Yeah they were definitely in columbia
@@paulkeay5032yep, they’ve just said they’re in Spain! (11:31)
A friend of mine is one of the production singers on the Sun Princess, and I know that they were working really hard to get the shows up as quickly as possible while making safety a priority. The theatres are always one of the last spaces to be completed on new ship constructions. And there is typically vital production equipment (usually still sitting in customs) that hasn’t made it to the ship in time for the first cruise. Then it takes forever to get that equipment to catch up with the ship in a future port.
Back to the ship for lunch? 😮
Nooo! There's some of the best Tapas bars/restaurants in Cartagena.
So tasty, so cheap.
We always do a Tapas crawl when we visit Cartagena.
Such a lovely City.
Terrific review!! You are both so good at giving us the best information about the ships!!
Thanks for your great review by the way!! Your vlogs are first rate.
Happy birthday David!!
Thank you Ben and David for this very informative review. I’ll be sailing on the Sun Princess in February and can’t wait.
Another great video guys! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!❤
I don't usually comment, but I just wanted to comment that in the last month or so I found your channel and have seen literally binge watched every video. Love the content!
Btw, are you planning a second channel, maybe a daily vlog? 👀
Great video as usual!
Oh my gosh .. you guys are the best ❤😂❤
Thanks for the vegetarian and vegan food reviews!! You are always so great about that (and everything)!!! Love you guys!!😊❤
Oh my!!! This is the cruise!! I know everything was not ready… but I hope you do this one again soon!
On my tv the food looked delicious !!
Happy cruising😊
HUGE SHIP!!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Car- te- hen- ya. That's the best way to explain how to pronounce it. Love you guys!!
Thanks for the pronunciation tip! We appreciate the love and support.
Celebrity used to do the express MDR breakfasts in the Med at some of the big ports (Livorno and Civitavecchia) - when a lot of people were leaving early for full day tours of Rome and Florence. Didn't happen at other ports IIRC
Love you guys, booked our first ever cruise for next year on Princess, keep up the great vids 🙂 x
Thank you for the review.
Thanks! You all are so much fun- truly great content and editing! 😊
This review cracked me up, you both are hilarious. Love to watch/hear your comments while eating. It was a pleasure meeting you at the arena theater. Linda
Have you ever taken a Viking Cruise? It’s all inclusive and the food is amazing. There are enrichment lectures and great entertainment like a jazz combo and a guitarist. Room service is also excellent. No children on board. No nickle and dimeing you. The only thing I paid for was massages and those were $50 an hour.
That I might do. It’s pretty expensive as a solo, though. I looked into it three or four years ago.
@birbluv9595 yes, I bumped into Ben and David just as cruising was restarting after the pandemic and they were saying they had just been on Viking, and MSC Virtuosa before that. There is a vlog somewhere...2021 maybe?
Just got back from a crossing on Viking - San Juan, Puerto Rico to Barcelona. Loved every minute of it.
Hey Ben and David. Happy Sunday. Always appreciate your reviews. This ship is definitely on our list. Thanks for the scoop on how to get to the sanctuary. Hope you guys having an amazing weekend celebrating David’s birthday 🤗🎉🎈🎊🎁🎂. Have a great week 🤗
Thank you for the video
Can’t wait to sail on the Sun! Great review! Looks amazing, classy, and fun!
Happy birthday David. Love watching your videos prior to going on different cruises and cruise lines.
Ben, love your shirt!!❤❤
Great show guys, just booked our first ever cruise for next year 🙂🙂🙂Xx
Love you guys!!
Ben's face when he ripped open that pain au chocolate was hysterical. I'm wearing headphones and my husband whipped around when I scream laughed.😂
I look forward to each and every video!! I appreciate all that you do!! You are true professionals and provide the best reviews!! Love your humor and style!! (It was a treat to see this early with my daughter!) 😊❤
I liked all the video, you make me happy. I will never go on a cruise but I live seing you having fun. I especially liked the end of the video when you comment and seeing shots of you enjoying a moment of relaxation on the deck and having a meal . It is a nice finish.
9:53 one Sunday in daytime just after Covid when our ferry the Irish Ferries WB Yeates was coming into Dublin Port from Holyhead, we saw the Irish Navy with a lot of their vessels in Dublin Bay - we had to stop completely and drop anchor while they carried out certain manoeuvres and we could see everything from the Club Class Lounge, it was fascinating to watch, as it also involved the Irish Air Corps Fougha Majister Jets and Dauphin helicopters overhead as well
Great again guys - you crack me up with that 'tour' trying to find the sanctuary when you went around the corner and said 'oh there's the entrance and the guy closed the door!'
We are on this cruise. Hope to catch up if we see you wandering around. Been following your presentations for months, Steve & Denise
Love your review ❤
Thoroughly enjoyed
Great video, boys. Looking forward to reviewing our first Sphere-class itinerary this year.
Thank you for a great review. This makes me want to go on the Sun Princess.
Hi Guys. We just booked a Jan 2025 cruise on that ship - Signature suite. You give the best/funniest/most informative review. Cheers !!!
Thank you!! I am cruising with you two(in my mind).Please continue on!!!I appreciate you so much!!
