I live and depend on benefits so there is no way I will ever be able to afford a cruise, so I live vicuriously through you and other cruisetubers.

I was on the same ship and bumped into Ben and David at our first port of call. They were so kind to me as I nearly lost it! Then I saw David the very next morning while we were both picking up a coffee. We had a nice visit, but I didn’t see either of them again throughout the 10 days. I’m loving this video, of course!
"Fly me to the moon and call me Neil Armstrong." Good one! Even though that song is now stuck in my head 😅 Then, " [gasp!] Martha Stewart behind bars!" Has anyone ever made a list of all Ben's food review quips (Well, sometimes they aren't in the food segments, but you know what I mean)? A Google doc, spreadsheet, or clip reel, perhaps? I love how he always comes up with a new one 💛 ... I've seen a lot of Sun Princess tours, and this video is the first to bring up a practical point I haven't seen mentioned before. I can't believe Princess decided to make people walk through a smoky casino to get where we need to go! I'm allergic to smoke! I thought with the crew-served buffet that Princess was indicating they care about their passengers' health 😪

Do it! I used to be terrified to cruise! My biggest fear was drowning, so the idea of being at sea.... scary but it was the best experience ever! Before we even got off rhe ship I asked when we were going again haha, been in 8 now and got the next one planned
🤣 The media offline when David talked about the pillows falling off the bed 😂
I love the toned-down color palette of that ship. Most ships are so bright and busy. This looks elegant and calming.
My favorite cruise dessert is the white chocolate bread pudding on the Disney Fantasy with the Disney creme brulee cheesecake coming in a close second.
Ben any good buffet will not let you reuse the same plate because of the risk of cross contamination. eating utensils easily transfer germs to your plate. If they let you reuse your plate, germs can be transferred to the serving tongs or even the gloved hands of the sever.
Crispy sausage advice - when you're back at home, Air Fry some Cumberland sausages, first for 8 minutes on normal Air Fry mode, turn them and give another 8 minutes. Then, choose Max Fry and do 5 minutes before turning them and cooking for a further 5 minutes. They come out an absolute treat, with a nice crispy outside, but still nice and chewy textured inside. Game changer, for me. Love sausages that are well done.
A Ben and David vlog on Sunday is always worth waiting for! We have been excited to hear your thoughts and comments of the new Sun Princess. We will be sailing her in November and can't wait! A perfect day here in southern Ontario-sunny and warm, so we switched up our viewing to the patio, accompanied by our favourite beverages! Cheers guys! Always a pleasure.
I used to toss and turn in my sleep, and my Dad called me a "cranky sleeper" 😂 Thanks for bringing that memory back. Excellent video! ❤
"I'm a bit of a thruster at night...no? What would you call it? A tosser?" " My egg's perfectly cooked, I've just burst everywhere..." DAVID! I'm so used to Ben having the double entendres, but your innuendo game is ON POINT during this video!!! And with the perfect, wide-eyed, innocent face as well. Well done!

Fav desserts: 1. Carnival Melting Cake - super chocolaty, warm, molten midde. 2 Baked Alaska on HAL Alaskan cruise, it's not on all of the HAL itineraries. Swiss meringue so firm yet creamy, delicious ice cream and base cake layer was wonderful. All components are delicious, but the meringue "takes the cake". 😉

Hi Ben and David. Thank you for this video. It was very informative. I was very happy to see Princess invited you and doesn't require you to sign a contract. High 5 Princess! As always thank you for all you do and all the hard work that goes into putting these videos out. ❤❤
My favorite desert is always bread pudding, with a bourbon or rum sauce, my Granny made it great, takes me back 50 years. I've been on ten cruises & my favorite bread pudding was on a Celebrity ship & runner up was on a NCL cruise. I'll be on the MSC Seashore in two weeks checking on their bread pudding & in December the Sky Princess getting that bread pudding.. Can't wait. 😁🛳
So interesting, thank you both 😊
Great video, thanks guys!
Thank you so much for this tour. You cabin looks absolutely lovely!
I struggle with this ship! Some areas are beautiful, some look very cluttered, and some look almost clinical.
Great trip with you both! ❤️ Good luck with finding your new home!
My fav desert is a crème brulee...anywhere! The Edge did a good one and so did Quantum! 🙂The ship looks a bit beige for me but looks lovely and bright. My partner is almost blind so bright ships are for us {T'is why we didn't like Edge); I like the idea of the night light - we have them at home.
I’m travelling on the Sun Princess for 21 days next Saturday on my 1st crusie…it’s been wonderful getting a view on the Cruise world with you. It’s good to see your walk thru of the Ship! ✨🙌💕
Love the detailed info re: the kitchens and food planning. Thank you!
You guys are utterly charming. I'm not a cruiser but watch all your videos. You guys are not only great, honest ambassadors for the cruise industry, you're great honest ambassadors for cruisers. It takes real professionalism, enthusiasm, and character to master both. And you do so splendidly.

So glad to see power outlets on both sides of the bed! As a CPAP user, this is an enormous plus. It's really inconvenient to plug it in across the room, continually worrying about tripping over the cord. The color scheme of the room is beautiful. Love the soft, muted colors. Not sure if I like the balcon situation. I like being able to look right down into the sea.
So glad to see the bridge!
I am so blooming hungry...great video guys. I may have to try Princess again, who knows
As always, a wonderful video that I thoroughly enjoyed! Thank so much, boys. 💞 I was feeling a bit lonely today so being able to have your friendly company was especially appreciated! 🤗 Btw my fav dessert on a cruise ship would have to be a tie between a chocolate lava cake and a vanilla Mille feuile, with the icing done to perfection with the little wavy stripes and all!
