    I know TH-cam wants shorter videos but I and I think lots of your subscribers love the longer videos.
    Many of us will never get to these places and want to see as much of them as you can show us.
    Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
    I love that you chose an excursion that is a loving animal sanctuary.

      males like longer videos according to stats: longer, harder and uncut.

      @ I know you are being sarcastic.
      I will be nice and just say TH-cam pushes creators to do shorter videos because people anymore tend to have short attention spans. But in videos like Ben & David they make you feel like you are with them. I have watched them for a good while and they used to do longer videos, which a lot of us that enjoy their content really appreciate. I wanted them to know their subscribers enjoy their videos and the longer the better, TH-cam may be right about some, just like you may be right about some men, but not all.

    David - it is not stupid to get emotional about the wonders of nature and it’s beautiful creatures! I did an orangutan adventure and was able to feed them and it is something I will remember for the rest of my lifetime. Conservation cannot be underestimated as it is needed now more than ever.

      We have an orange orangutan as a prior and newly presidential elect here in the states. I'm still emotional over it and will carry that emotional scaring for the rest of my life. Conservation of democracy cannot be underestimated as it is needed now more than ever.

    • @hanspeter1886
      @hanspeter1886 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      Unfortunately this is still not ideal for the elephants! Of course it's better than them being ridden or stuck in zoos but this still seems like a tourist attraction. What benefits do you think the elephants have from being washed/ walked down a path by humans/ touched by humans? The elephants would probably much rather be around other elephants and spend their time how they want without being disturbed by humans. As a rule of thumb - if you can touch the animals it's probably not really a sanctuary.

      Absolutely! I used to live in Vietnam. My friends and I used to absolute give it to tourist who were showing off their pics to their elephant rides. Do not contribute to the exploitation of these wonderful creatures. And don't ride Ostriches either while I'm on it.

    There is no shame to have tears when introduced to such magnificent animals. Seeing the loving way they are treated is making me share some tears too. We had a large, white owl crash land into our busy a few years ago. We thought he was injured but he only wanted to nap. I cried seeing him up so close. It was a reminder from above that any living thing must be treated with respect.

    Further to our post on your part 1, this 3-part series on the cruise was 100% on point. The visits to India were a highlight and touched upon all emotions and senses. The poverty was striking as well the charm and resilience of the people. I'm not sure I'd go back but I'm glad that I visited. The chaos at boarding in Dubai, the inefficient Indian immigration process, the poor quality of the onboard food, the amazing entertainment, the great staff that Royal Caribbean has, the rudeness of the Russian group, the stunning stops in Phuket and Penang, and the end in super Singapore; you captured it all. Thanks and happy sailing.

      Poverty?
      Where exactly?
      You assume those busy middle class people going to offices in Mumbai, those shops with active businesses on the streets to be in poverty?
      Yes I agree there are some who sell their items right on the street because they are poor but that's not what you see everywhere. Moreover in this video which shows Kerala I never spotted what you say is poverty. Have you seen Kerala's cities like Kochin? They are extremely clean, wealthy.
      I mean you can say anything?
      Moreover those huge skyscrapers in Mumbai, beautiful buildings, train stations, the main Street which looks great with trees, traffic signals, full of cars: all these show a thriving economy.
      Yes now slums were shown in that Mumbai vlog. But let me tell you Indians billionaire Adani who is rebuilding the Haifa port in my country Israel has undertaken a massive project to redevelop Dharavi into a modern enclave. And the project as far as I know has started.

    The schedule is the sort of cruise which really does appeal to me. Not so much as a 'cruise' but more of a 'voyage'. Very sorry to hear that the crew was being mis-treated. They work very hard, I am sure, and they are woefully underpaid. Very likely under-tipped by the abusers too, if tipped at all. Glad you spoke up for them, on board and here on your channel. Thank you for the video!

    It is a little like seeing whales performing tricks at SeaWorld and then seeing them in the wild, swimming free. It is an emotional, awe- inspiring feeling.

    Hi David,
    I'm a huge fan of your videos on cruise ship travel reviews and vlogs. A suggestion: there is Cordelia Cruises which plies between Mumbai and Lakshwadeep Islands. You can try it in the future. Your series on India was amazing! I'm from India, and I loved watching your experiences.
    I just wanted to clarify two things. India isn't a very poor country - most of us are middle class. Around 200 million out of 1.5 billion people live below the poverty line. The busy people you saw in Mumbai were mostly working middle-class individuals.
    Also, India hasn't had any famines in over 80 years. We have a flourishing agricultural sector and surplus food, and we even export food.
    I hope you had a wonderful time in Kerala and Mumbai! Your vlogs on Phuket and Singapore have finalized my decision to visit those places on vacation. And little Oscar is so cute and smart!
    Stay safe and cheers🥂.

    I just LOVE your vids… I haven’t cruised as much as you and we don’t get as many options for cruises from Australia but I have just come off a P&O cruise on Pacific Encounter and would LOVE you to do a cruise with them and rate their ship! I think everyone on the ship would love you to rate this one…. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏🏽

    Little Teddy is too cute. He has your eyes Ben. Good heavens Ben you have lost half of yourself on your weight loss journey. How does David like his younger looking thinner model of his husband??!! I'm sure he's so proud of you.

    I live on Dissabillity in Sweden so I will probably never be able to afford a cruise so I live vicuriously through cruisetube, dreaming of a 12-14 night sunny cruise on Princess.

    I'm so glad y'all got to visit the elephant sanctuary! I've been fortunate enough to visit an elephant rescue here in Oklahoma (of all places!) and it was the most amazing experience. Thank you for inviting us along on all of your adventures!

    Oh my what wonderful memories, the elephants looked amazing and loved how you all became emotional with them, is it just me or do they always look like they are smiling? beautiful animals.
    We took a short cruise on Anthem and got to see We Will Rock You and agree it was one of the best shows we've seen on any cruise.

      Thank you! Elephants really do have such a special presence, and we agree-they always look like they're smiling! 🐘 So glad you got to see We Will Rock You on Anthem; it’s such an incredible show, isn’t it? Definitely a highlight for us too! 😊

    Wow guys this has to be one of your top videos EVER! Seems like a spiritual experience took place.
    As for Royal and their food, yes it has gone down I agree 100 percent! And Ben you said it, the food tastes cheap. I don’t cruise for food, but I also don’t appreciate being served low quality stuff. My girlfriend and I are not chefs, but we cook at home and can do better than a lot of what they serve, and there’s absolutely no excuse for that!
    I’ve been on four classes of royal ships between 2022 to 2023 and I liked them all, but the food got progressively worse. I don’t think I’m getting back on until it’s improved, especially for what they are charging these days. By the way Ben, your brother is looking thinner too since I met him on the group cruise. You guys look great!

    The elephant is absolutely beautiful, and Oscar is the sweetest thing. I'm sorry you have had some bumps this cruise. But I think a walk with an elephant makes up for a lot.❤ Loved this video. I didn't want it to end😊

    Beautiful itinerary and amazing ports.
    You must love cruising that much that although you see cut backs everywhere, you still go on them. You pay a lot of money, every year more, and still they cut back on things. For that amount of money, land options are becoming more and more interesting.
