    this is the same that happened with youtubers and slot channels. it took time with some casino's to allow filming. some still don't allow it. people need to call ahead and confirm what the rules are. you can always ask. the only thing they can do is say no. and work with them slowly.

    Does Bermies sell women's bathing suits (or only men/boy swim trunks)? Just wanted to say I'm glad you guys got some resolution AND are working with MSC to try to get a compromise between all travelers involved!! In the US, those caravans look like what we call "mobile homes." Unfortunately, many people here look down on mobile homes; they don't know what they're missing!!! They can be BEAUTIFUL!!! Just like tiny homes!!! Congrats on selling the house!! I can't wait to buy one! And I think it would great if you guys let us see your house hunt. A little "international HGTV" from Ben and David!!

    While i partially agree with this I also see it from the other side. Any large company is going to have issues with employees not handling things properly on occasion. No matter how much training you are going to have new employees or employees having a bad day. Dealing with the public is not easy. Most clients are great, but there are some that are completely vile, and if you're not careful those people can taint your mood. I never judge a company on these bad employee interactions, I judge the company on their reaction to it or in some cases non reaction.

    This is my problem with the situation. The only reason this was rectified was because of the publicity that it got. Had Ben and David just been everyday cruisers or KZreadrs who were lesser known, this wouldn't have been resolved in this manner. For this reason I will not cruise with MSC until I know this is the rule and not the exception.

    I am a cancer patient and my husband has severe leg problems. We let MSC know this before our NYE Cruise on the Divina and requested wheelchair embarkation. We are platinum on Carnival and have only taken a few RCCL and NCL cruises and they have been extremely wonderful. MSC however almost put my husband and myself in the hospital because of the horrible lines we had to wait in before getting to the wheelchair line. Then, there were so many severely disabled people who had been waiting hours to get a wheelchair, we decided just to walk slowly. Again, after 25 plus cruises, the lines were the worst! They are NOT handicap friendly! Never again- this was just a poor start to a horrible cruise from beginning to end.

    I'd probably be uncomfortable around them while filming, simply because their filming personas seem to be the really extroverted Infectious! Boisterous! Energy! sort that like... for my personality being around people like that for extended periods of time is exhausting. But it's not like they're the only people in the world who do that! And anyone who is going on a vacation in a place where other people are going on vacation should do so with the understanding that it's not just about them. If people near you are being too chattery and excitable, that's a you problem, not a them problem.

How do you deal with an irate passenger complaining about people filming even if those people are being very discreet and respectful? Glad they’re implementing training and hopefully they work well with you guys to come out with guidelines for passengers wanting to film (beyond the level of regular vacation photos and videos) so everyone can be on the same page. Given all of that you’ll still get people who are not happy about something and you just have to do your best to be respectful and give them space. It’s a balance for sure.

    Ben and David, congratulations on your move back North and your life change, it's a wonderful thing to be closer to your families. They must be delighted. Like you I have very happy memories of caravan holidays as a teen. We had no electricity too, just gas lights and propane cooker and a walk to the shower block and toilets. It was in the middle of nowhere and we'd wake up with the caravan surrounded by sheep. We used to walk up a hill and through the forest to get to a medieval castle where the dungeons had been converted into a bar and restaurant and entertainment space. Everyone from the surrounding villages and quite far away would come (because there was nowhere else) and the atmosphere was brilliant. To this day, I remember them as great and unforgettable holidays.

    I’m glad that MSC is training their entire ships and crew that is needed. Also, I’m happy to see when you film you you do not interrupt other passengers enjoyment on the ship. . I noticed when I was for the first time in blue Lagoon in Iceland a few months ago that there were many KZreadrs but of course, maybe some of them were not KZreadrs and they were actually in the water going back-and-forth filming and I was just trying to relax in the water, of course now blue lagoon is closed because of the volcanic eruptions

    I’m a longtime subscriber but I don’t comment often (always 👍🏼) but I wanted to say I’m happy to hear MSC has refunded and are making steps to institute changes going forward with video and photo taking on their ships. I’ve never considered your vlogs to be intrusive to other passengers, actually, I don’t even ever notice them because you are so respectful to keep the focus on you guys or the content your sharing. When people are in the shot, they are in the background and not the feature so I don’t really ever notice them because I’m focused on what you’re sharing, but enough of that. Loving the caravan and the beautiful seaside holiday. Your caravan is spacious, modern, and lovely. Thanks for giving a grand tour. Your nephews are absolutely precious and seemed to enjoy being on the vlog. Thank you! Looking forward to your next adventure!

    I am glad to hear that MSC and you reached a mutually beneficial agreement and resolved the issue. I am a photographer (strictly a hobby) and love taking photos of my journeys. However, I can absolutely understand and respect that certain people really do not want to be photographed. Why they don't want to be photographed is none of my business. They don't. Enough said. In this video, vlogging, Facebook, TicToc, and Instagram existence of ours, where it seems that every mundane happenstance needs to be on video, it's almost as if people don't have the right to ask for privacy any longer. I am very relieved to know that you recognize people's right to not be photographed if they don't want to be. A lot of KZreadrs and bloggers unfortunately do not respect the privacy of others. There has to be a balance.

    I’ve gotta admit that I agree with you there. While I understand that there’s no expectation of privacy when you’re out in public, I still think it’s good manners to avoid recording or taking photos of random people going about their daily lives or holiday or whatever. It’s one of the reasons why I enjoy videos from these guys; they make an effort to be subtle and respectful of the privacy of other passengers aboard or when they’re out on trips.

    So glad you are showing these types of British vacations to everyone. As a dual citizen it is rather hard to sell Americans on a caravan holiday. You say caravan and they are like what? so then the other way to say it is a...trailer. Telling Americans hey you wanna do a weekend down the seaside in a trailer park of sorts that has all these cool activities, food and fun things to do? They immediately give off this look like....trailer???? But now with this they can see it and understand it a little better. My mom's whole side lives in UK and I am turning 40 this year and we go on Haven holidays every year. Thank you!
