Birthday and Anniversary Celebrations On Board P&O Iona!
We're onboard the brand new P&O Iona on her Maiden Voyage. It's Ben's birthday and our wedding anniversary! So join us onboard for fireworks, yummy food, and celebrations! We also take a look at the differences between a British and American Cruise Line experience. You may be surprised by some of the differences in food, entertainment, and the type of people who cruise compared to cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival, and more!
Plus at the end we give you our honest opinion on P&O Cruises Iona - what was great and what wasn't so great!

David decorating the room while Ben snores is relationship goals. You two are the cutest.
Your marriage is a beautiful partnership that we all have the privilege of witnessing thru your channel here. Congrats, and may there be many more!
The way David looks at Ben with so much love ❤
I've been binge watching you guys on youtube; I can't resist your humour!
OMG!!! Look at you two from all those years ago, what a handsome pair!! Looking fantastic guys, hope you had a lovely birthday and happy anniversary 💕💕💕
My husband passed away 7 years ago tonight…..you guys are JUST what I needed to stay in the present and not wallow in the past. Thank you for sharing so much with your viewers I always feel like I’m right there with you !❤️❤️

I am late to this party...so sorry about your husband. How are you doing now? I hope you have met someone new...as you said you cant wallow and life goes on.
I could not love this more! It was so fun to watch and I loved hearing how you met.
What an exquisite wedding couple, and just as delightful 7 years later. Thank you so much for helping this L.A. travel agent learn more about P&O.
Your most romantic video ever...and I loved it. The way David looked at Ben in the first chat was so sweet. And the photo memories...awwwww.
Congratulations to both of you! And congrats to Ben for making it around the sun one more time! What a great way to celebrate life 😊 Really appreciated the content. I wish all cruise lines adopted putting a kettle in the cabins regardless of the routes. Thanks again. Ciao.

I agree! I’m not the only American who prefers tea to coffee most of the time. I even sewed a tea bag caddy for my bag so I can bring proper tea to restaurants that serve only Lipton. I brew loose leaf tea at home.
Even though this is 2 years old. I love knowing both of you. What a wonderful story. Very happy and very belated Birthday and Anniversary.
We finally got the Ben & David origin story we’ve all been waiting for! So happy for y’all
You 2 are the coolest & cutest ‘cruise raconteurs’! Really loving your work - (since I recently found it on KZread)! Your care & love for each other just ‘glows’! Well done!🎖🎖🎖🌹🌹🌹😎😎😎♥️♥️♥️🚢🚢🚢
Happy Birthday, Ben! Thank you both so much for sharing your story. Loved hearing how you hooked up. As a retired person I've never cruised so it's so much fun living vicariously through your vlogs. I came across your videos yesterday and have already watched 12+. Keep crushing! ❤😊❤
I've said it before but it bears repeating: I'm not a cruise person but I watch Ben and David just because they're so much fun. So lovely to see a married couple still very much in love after 8 years (now, I caught this video a year later). So sweet! I can't believe those old photos of the 2 of you, you look like such BABIES. Also, I've heard you guys reference that Disney Cruise as your first ever cruise but I had no idea it was your honeymoon! (This explains a lot imo). Thanks for sharing a bit of your story with us
New to your channel, I just love you guys, this is now my favorite cruise channel, congrats on your anniversary! Happy belated Bday Ben 🥂🍾 I always feel like I am right there with ya’ll on the ship, ❤️ much love from Texas ❤️

@Ben&David Happy bIrthday n Anniversary... Yesterday waz my bIrthday
11/23 What a sweetheart Ben is!! Looks like a fabulous birthday celebration!! Really enjoyed hearing about the differences in British and American cruise lines! Very good vlog!! Enjoyed it from beginning to end!! Thank you Ben and David!! 😊 Happy Anniversary!! ❤ Happy Birthday Ben!! 🎉
Happy Birthday Ben. But fancy forgetting how long you and David have been married, Happy Anniversary guys. xx
Upper 50s through upper 60s and sunny is a nice time to sit in the sun. Love it. It’s the people who get out in the super hot weather (90 and up) to sunbath or tourists who go to Disney World in the summer that baffle me. Nothing pleasant about that. I would have totally sat out on that deck though with a blanket and a book. Perfect.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SWEETIE BLESSING TO YOU HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉🎉🎂♥️♥️♥️♥️
Happy birthday, Ben, and happy anniversary to you both! Thanks for being such a marvelous couple, and bringing us all the fun cruising!
Happy Birthday and Anniversary! From your newest Patreon Engineers and someone who married the lover of her life on her birthday as well, many, many more happy years to you both! You have given us so much joy over the past few years, and we hope to show you the best of Bermuda if you ever cruise to our shores! Warmest, Amy, Mike and Ronan
Love the pics of the young Ben and David! Such handsome young lads. Love and best wishes for a long and happy life together! ❤❤❤
Have a very Happy Birthday & Happy Anniversary. 🍾🍾
Absolutely loved to hear how you both met and adore the photos. Happy bday Ben and happy anniversary to the both of you. ❤️
I am born and raised in the USA and love chips and vinegar. Love your channel.
Gloria Estefan in my mouth…🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely a classic line. Love it.
Loved the differences. And that you mentioned kids club on Norweign which my friend is in charge of. Happy birthday Ben.
Belated happy birthday and anniversary. Never change please, you are so funny and down to earth. Always trust your opinions and know you can appreciate the differences in cruise lines and nationalities, not just say "its terrible" when it's simply a different culture or taste xx 🌈
Happy belated Birthday Ben and Happy Anniversary Ben and David! I loved those frames you wore David, while singing to Ben in the opening. It was such a delight to see you share those pictures of when you were 7 years younger and getting married. I love all of the cruise videos you share with us.
Happy Birthday! It’s my birthday as well. 🎉 🎂 🙂
I always enjoy vicariously coming along with you on your cruises . Your endless cheer and great editing result in fun to watch videos that make me look forward to cruising someday. Keep it up!

I feel the same way Robin, only, I don't suppose I will ever cruise, yet I really enjoy Ben and David's trips 💖😃
Congratulations and happy birthday! Those fish and chips looked great. The ship looks comfortable.
This just made me smile through the whole thing. Happy birthday 🎂 and Anniversary 🎉to you both!. Love hearing your story. May you both continue to be blessed with good health, fun travels and warm sunny 🌞 sea day's! Cheers to you both!💖
Awesome video. Agree with the seats located outside the rooms and also where the smoking area is situated. Hope they take your feedback on board.
Happy Birthday, and Congratulations to you both, alway watching, Thomas from Saint Augustine Florida 💜🛳️💜🛳️💜🛳️💜🛳️💜
My husband and I also got married on his birthday! Of course, he's the one who forgets our anniversary!
Just adore you both! I get giddy when I see a new vlog go up😊
Happy Birthday Ben and Happy Anniversary to you both!
🌈👏🌈👏🌈 Congratulations David and Ben on your Anniversary and Birthday. I just love your interaction with each other. As always an honest upfront extremely informative vlog.Thank you again for this lovely vlog.🌈👏🌈👏🌈
OMG Ben you have stayed the same but David has changed over the years! I totally agree about the kettle, it is the same here in Australia and cruises to Australia, we love our coffee and tea, I even go out and get fresh milk from the first port of call as the long life stuff just isn’t the same!!
Wow! You guys looked like movie stars when you met. The photos are all beautiful! Happy Anniversary,,, two years ago LOL. I am a bit late to the party. What a journey and what a love story,
Soup of the day - Bloody Mary that was super funny!
Happy belated birthday Ben 🎂🎉🎁🥳💝 for the other day 🥂🍾🍷🍹🍹🍸🍸 and happy 7th wedding anniversary too for both David and Ben. Congratulations 👏👏👏👏 guys.
You’ve probably heard that Australians are coffee snobs. It’s true ,absolutely true. It’s one of the things most cruise ships get wrong when cruising the South Pacific. A rubbish cappuccino equals a down the drainachino . It’s the one thing Carnival here got right. The other thing is the Australian love of seafood. We love it . We’d be quite happy to sit in front of a bowl of prawns or a lobster or a nice piece of fish . The cruise lines before covid all realised this about the Aussie cruiser . The other one is we start drinking alcohol early in the day but we stretch our drinking over a long period of time where Americans will start drinking later and drink heavily over a shorter period of time . I had this conversation on my last cruise on carnival with a crew member a few years ago.
I love you guys!! Hubby and I met 43 years ago in university. I love a great couple's story!! Thank you!!❤❤
I’m a big old queen of 53, so I can say from experience that it does get easier ❤
Happy Birthday Ben , have the best Birthday ever 🍾🍾🍾🍾🎁🎁🎁🎁🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂💐💐💐💐😘😘😘😘😘😘🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢
Now I want a Kettle when I go on our next cruise! So wonderful….
Loved hearing the history of Ben & David, you two were so cute
Happy Birthday, Ben, and Happy Anniversary Ben and David!!
Just so you know... Of all the KZread channels I subscribe to, yours is the highest quality when it comes to production value. The audio, video resolution, and understanding your surroundings when filming is all outstanding. Kudos!

Happy Anniversary! Yes us Americans dress very much more casual than the UK.
I so enjoy traveling virtually with you both. Cheers from the Bay Area in California......
Belated happy birthday Ben! Your love story is so cute! I also met my husband in university 24 years ago and it still warms my heart thinking about it, even after 15+ yrs as a married couple :) I love watching your videos as I find them well made, with constructive and honest reviews. My husband and I love cruising, particularly in Viking and I would not have even thought of P&O prior to watching your video... hmmm... now, I'm curious...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY such a well suited and amazing couple.
I love yalls love! but even more so I love the friendship between you two! happy almost anniversary and birthday!
Vinegar on hot chips.. HECK YEAH😋 LOVING your videos guys. I'm hooked ❤
Absolutely lovely to see your wedding photos , you guys are fantastic and lift my spirits every time I watch your posts on KZread. Keep up the great videos lads and if you're ever slumming it in Blackpool I'll see you for a drink !! Shame you moved to London though. London vacuums up talent from everywhere and leaves the north poorer.
Happy Birthday Anniversary guys! All the best from Ohio, USA. I'm watching your video at 12:30 a.m. of your dinner and my mouth is watering. I'm so hungry now. 😊
Love you guys. We are celebrating 8 years anniversary i July on Wonder of the Seas, and its our very first cruise. Looking very much forward. I always get in a good mood from your videos. Have a great summer, Ben and David. Best regards from Andreas and Marko.
I love love love watching you guys! Thanks for sharing those adorable photos
Happy belated birthday Ben and belated Anniversary I love your videos as I love the 2 of you warm my heart you definitely show love and respect for each other hugs and kisses from Canada
David's so thoughtful! 😁 Happy Birthday Ben!🎈🎂Happy Anniversary!👥
I love the photo at 15:17 - you look like a cute 80s Synth Pop band, in the best sense of the word.
What a fantastic birthday and anniversary!!! You looked like such babies when you met. Still look like babies. I love that you enjoy yourselves through. That dinner looked freaking delish
Happy Birthday Ben!!! Happy Anniversary to the two of you. Loved the video, it gave me the cruise bug again. ❤️
Happy Birthday Ben! Happy Anniversary Ben and David! 🛳🥳🎂🎉🌊
It just doesn’t get any better. Thank you for sharing your life and experience. You two are the best!!!
Omg, um, hello, I knew I saw something in that crooked smile. On another note, I do very much enjoy watching you both from the U.S. and vicariously dreaming about my next cruise! Good luck in all your endeavors, and please keep posting your videos.
Loved seeing your photos from your life together!
You two always bring smiles to my face!
Having grown up in Minnesota I can relate with being out at 40 degrees Fahrenheit we were in shorts then in the spring.
You guys are beautiful people 😊❤Thanks for sharing your beautiful story and photos. I am thankful for your videos and fun energy 😊
Happy Birthday Ben and Happy Anniversary to the both of you.
Media studies at uni. That explains the high production values. Top job lads.
Happy belated birthday Ben and happy anniversary to both of you .Looks like you had a amazing time Lovedv the photo's and storey about when you first met and i'm from Newcastle so HOWAY MAN LOVED IT X
Congratulations on seven years of marriage and happy birthday!
Happy anniversary guys, and belated happy birthday Ben, I'm sure you had great time. And you are spot on the 1st thing I do in the morning is put the kettle on, even before I look at my phone, probably because I need a Tea before I'm properly awake!!. Always enjoy watching your adventures, and always laugh out loud when Ben has a foodgasm when he eats something tasty
