hi love you both i discovered your videos last month and i am addicted! i am senior and suffer from severe anxiety so i do not travel however i am seeing the world thru your yes so thank you! sending much love from your adopted gram in Ct xoxo
David I love you. Your fear of heights is the same as my deceased husband, (Charles). He would do anything for me, including heights just so I could laugh at him. He has been gone for 9 years and your video today brought a smile on my face…
Please can you do a tour of the medical facilities/hospital on a cruise. I’m a midwife/nurse and I always want to know what the medical facilities are and what they look like. Thankyou
@@clarehagley2165 You should post this in the main thread, not in a comment thread. They’ll probably never see this because it looks like a reply to the OP of this comment, and not to them or their video.
I don’t know if it was because you guys were so genuinely excited or what, but it felt like you were carefree and really showing your true selves - what a wonderfully entertaining vlog ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that our excitement and genuine selves came through in the vlog. We always aim to share our authentic experiences and bring joy and entertainment to our viewers. Your support means a lot to us, and we're grateful to have you as a part of our community. We'll continue to bring you more entertaining vlogs in the future. Thank you again, and happy cruising!
@@Cruisewith I can always tell it is the true you two, that is what brings me back to your video's, you are the real deal! And being stuck at home so much, who wouldn't want to laugh and enjoy good videos?Your content is most excellent, I am subscribing now! Btw, I am a pilot, but out of medical so I do not fly much unless with a friend, I used to be heavy into aerobatic's in the 1980's.....I could give Ben a ride that would make him kiss the ground every time he stood up! lol
Welcome to my home! I’ve lived in Alaska for 58 years. It was amazing watching you see Alaska for the first time. I take all this beauty for granted, seeing it everyday, is no big deal to us. You did a well advising to dressing in layers, for the weather- it can change at any moment. As far as coming across a bear don’t worry, you don’t have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun at least one of your friends. Sorry, that’s an old joke in rural Alaska!😂 P.S. You were in the middle of nowhere. Hoonah is a small village, totally unaccessible except by sea.👍
David's face going down that zipline was so funny and Ben's too, but it did look awesome, when my wife said Ben and David are in the fisherman's daughter I had to ask what she was watching. Sunday wouldn't be the same without Ben and David love these guys.
Took my elderly mother on an excursion. Saw so many animals she said are we in a Disney documentary. It was a bucket list treat for her. So glad we made that happened.
New slogan for our 49th & largest state here in the US - “Alaska: The Land of Fires & Lumberjacks. Treat Yourself” 😂 Seriously, fabulous vlog as always. You can put the cedar blocks in your closet or your dresser to keep away the moths. Between Ben on the sky rider in fear & David on the zip line in full scream, I’m in stitches! You two have put a big smile on face with every video of this cruise, so thank you! This old girl needs to start saving her pennies; you’ve inspired me to look into taking this journey myself!
Haha, I love the new slogan for Alaska! "The Land of Fires & Lumberjacks. Treat Yourself" - it's catchy and fun! I'm glad our vlog brought a smile to your face. Saving up for an Alaskan journey sounds like a fantastic plan. It's truly a remarkable destination that's worth experiencing. Happy cruising! 😄🚢
YES. Went to the far North for the Aurora and no light pollution so to see STARS TO THE HORIZON. Anchorage to Fairbanks into the Arctic Circle to Coldfoot, Alaska on the Dalton Hwy. Oh. MY. Glorious!
I went on a cruise on celebrity x to Alaska in 2005 with my grandparents, it was INCREDIBLE easily one of my favorite memories!! Sadly a year later my grandma died from a very aggressive form of cancer, she was like a mom to me. And my grandpa passed just last year. I will treasure those memories forever. I definitely cried through most of this episode, thank you for this video.
Oh my goodness! I'm a fan of all your videos but this one was my favorite to date! My 8yo daughter and I screamed with laughter and squealed with excitement through practically the whole video! Well done on that zip line experience. We actually had to watch that part twice. Thank you for always bringing laughter and adventure to our Sundays!
What an adventure guys, I just loved it. Alaska is so great and the bonus of going in May is that the swarms of mosquitoes haven’t arrived yet. Another bonus is that the locals have just weathered a long winter and are very glad to see the tourists return. I can’t wait until the next episode.
I'm sure some people like when the tourists come back, but I don't lol. Hardly any tourist knows how to drive yet still do in huge RVs that hog parking lots and the road. It's pretty funny when they ask if they can exchange US currency to Alaska currency though.
That gondola up to the zip line is no joke! I laughed so hard at Ben's banter. My husband was like "do you notice how all the gondolas coming down are empty?" LOL Just like us, and you, I'm sure many people zipline down, but at the time it was hilarious. Fear does that to you. P.S. I have the "I survived" T-shirt. ;)
Haha, that's a funny observation! The gondola ride up to the zip line can definitely be an exhilarating experience, and it's completely understandable to have a mix of excitement and fear. It's great that you and your husband were able to have a good laugh about it. And kudos to you for conquering the zip line and earning the "I survived" T-shirt! It's a fun memento to remember your thrilling adventure. Thanks for sharing your amusing story, and I'm glad you enjoyed watching our video!
I love how you over came your fear of heights!! Your a total bad ass lol!! After watching your video of Alaska now I'm definitely putting it on the list of places to go!!!
So jealous of all the wildlife you saw, especially the bear and the inquisitive little sea otter poking it’s head out of the water. We’re off on a cruise to Greenland shortly so hoping we get a few whales too.
Been a fan of your videos for a long while now. We are doing Alaska in 2 weeks time and seeing the joy and excitement on both of your faces makes us all smile and want to join in. We even treated ourselves to 2 t-shirts of yours. Breakfast dessert and Banana slap. If you knew us, you would understand that they are a perfect match. Out of all the phrases, you picked the best. Can't wait for next weeks episode and see what else you both get up to. No Sunday is complete without a bit of Ben & David in your life.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our videos bring you joy and excitement. We hope you have an incredible time on your Alaska cruise! And we're glad you found the perfect t-shirts to match your personalities. We appreciate you being a part of our cruise adventures and we can't wait to share more with you. Stay tuned for next week's episode! Happy cruising and enjoy every moment of your upcoming trip!
So good I had to watch it twice! I think I had a smile on my face the whole video. I don't like the cold and I thought Alaska was boring from all the other video vloggers I've seen but yours has made me really want to go. You guys really do a great job of bringing locations to life for us. Thank you so much
Another great video!! I would like to mention to others that although many of these excursions are expensive you can experience Alaska on a budget too. There are many videos out there for families who have limited funds.
Just came across your channel! I am now going to go back and watch all the episodes I have missed out on. You make cruising such fun and your zest for life is a tonic. My husband and I will be doing our first ever cruise next year and your vlog has made me so excited for it. We are from South Africa and will be flying to the US to join a party of people for one of my sisters-in-law’s special birthdays. Happy sailing guys and keep up the excellent work 🤗🤗🤗
Okay it’s the character development of Ben and David for me 🫶🏽 conquering heights and enjoying the experience in the process. I’m so happy for you guyssss!! 🎉🥳👏🏽 19:01
Alaska inner passage was our first cruise on Celebrity Infinity about 8-10 yrs ago. It was absolutely amazing. Saw whales and eagles. No bears. Went to a husky sledge training camp and got to pet lots of puppies!
I've been to Alaska twice. My favorite part was sailing through Glacier Bay. Sailing through ice bugs, we saw so many seals and watched chunks of ice fall from the glaciers. It was all amazing.
Smiling like a fool watching you guys zip down a mountain, your joy is infectious. Have been lucky enough to go on 3 Alaska trips{HAL, HAL,Princes} highly recommend, the beauty is majestic.
This was the trip I wanted to see you guys do and O. M. freaking G. I was not disappointed! Watching your excitement and enjoyment was wonderful. The scenery was amazingly beautiful and it was so much fun to watch both your joy. I so want to visit Alaska one day. My favourite video of yours so far
Darlings!! I’m thrilled you are getting this Alaskan adventure in. By far, it continues to be my favorite. Tears flowed each day, from seeing such exquisite beauty….then the yummy food! Thank you for sharing~it brings me back! ❤
Hey David, you know that mint jelly you put on your lamb at Easter? It’s actually apple jelly with mint because mint has no pectin and will not jell on its own.
Went to Alaska 1999, was also amazed at the beauty in every direction. Best for me was the stop in Juneau, where we took a small plane up to Denali. The entire mountain was cloud-free, so we had incredible views. Pilot said we were extremely lucky, because very often the mountain is obscured by cloud cover. The plane had a service ceiling of about 13,000 feet, but because it was so clear it seemed as though we were right up at the peak. Just amazing!
Wow, your experience in Alaska sounds absolutely incredible! Seeing Denali with clear skies must have been a breathtaking sight. It's true that the weather can be unpredictable in Alaska, and being able to enjoy unobstructed views of the mountain is truly a stroke of luck. Small plane rides offer a unique perspective and allow you to appreciate the grandeur of the landscape. We're glad you had such an amazing time and were able to make lasting memories. Alaska is truly a remarkable destination.
When I cruised to Alaska, on the Princess Dawn, I was amazed at the beauty of this state. I would stand on the upper deck of the ship and actually felt like I was a having a religious experience!! Our ship stopped in Glacier Bay, and did a 360 degree turn. We watched the glaciers, whales and dolphins. It was June. Just sweatshirt weather. Unforgettable!!
A quick observation that I made a couple of years back, if you carry an umbrella in Juneau, AK, you're a tourist! Ha ha! But it's often true! You wear appropriate rain gear and don't let the rain stop you from doing too much, otherwise, you'd never do anything!!
OMG! This was amazing. My daughter is planning an Alaska cruise with NCL for 2024 and she MUST see this video!! I will get hooked to your channel the same way I am! Happy Cruising!
Wow, that's amazing! Your daughter is gonna love this vid! Share it with her and she'll be super stoked for her NCL Alaska cruise in 2024. We're here to help and entertain, so happy cruising to you and your fam! Thanks for being awesome! 🚢😄
REAL apple jelly is lovely. That stuff in the tub, not so much. Warning, Alaska is addictive! I’m headed there again soon. The scenery is just so beautiful.
My wife and I stumbled across your channel and can’t get enough! We now want to go on our first cruise. Thank you for the kindness and positivity you give the world with your videos.

It makes my heart happy to see you y'all experience Alaska for the first time and how happy you are taking it all in. It makes me want to go back again soon. I will never get tired of the scenery and wildlife.
My favorite thing we did in Alaska was taking the train from Anchorage to Denali. We were there over Labor day, and they had the first snow of the season
You two are the best! I lived in Alaska for six years. Ita amazing, isnt it. We had bears and moose in our back yard regularly. Salmon dip is unbelievable.
I have been to Alaska many years ago on a cruise. The scenery is like nothing else I have ever seen. Such majesty and grandeur! One of my favorite things to do was in Juneau was go on an excursion called The Gold Creek Salmon Bake. It was at the spot at the base of this huge waterfall where they first discovered gold in Alaska. There was all you can eat Sockeye Salmon cooked for you over on open fire pit. They had all the trimmings and it was so delicious! We then were handed mining pans and were able to pan for gold in the creek! I actually found some! We then stopped by the Red Dog Saloon for some adult libations on the way back to the ship. What was your favorite thing in Alaska?
THANK YOU!!!! We just got back from Alaska and booked the zip line in Icy Straight based on how much we loved your reaction during this video! IT WAS EPIC!!! Thank you again!
You're very welcome! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing time in Alaska and enjoyed the zip line experience in Icy Strait Point. It's truly an exhilarating activity, and we're so glad our video inspired you to try it out! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we hope you have many more fantastic adventures in the future. Happy cruising! 🚢😊
I must say, an Alaska cruise is at the top of my to-do list after seeing your vlogs! Just wow. The scenery is breathtaking. I don’t know if I could muster up the courage for that zipline though!
I was in Alaska May 2023 and absolutely loved it! I’m going back again in May 2024 on Norwegian bliss and I can’t wait!!!!! It is absolutely gorgeous up there!
Having lived for many years in Labrador, Northern British Columbia and Northern Alberta, I took most of it all for granted. Your enthusiasm has made me realize how much I had in my own back yard. Love your videos🛳
This brought back some nice memories. Did my first cruise ever in May and loved Alaska. Went on the NCL Jewel on the Premium package so did a few excursions that were paid for by the credit. One was a bus trip up to the Canadian border on the road opposite the train tracks. The driver was hilarious and told us that both the road and train tracks cross a major fault that was easy to see in the mountain side. That was a bit unnerving. I loved Alaska and can't wait to return.
That was nothing short of fabulous, the multitude of experiences on that tour - the wildlife alone! The zip line was incredible and appreciated the accessibility shout out, well done fellas! Just hope Stef found a toilet! One of your best, but I keep saying that! You are incredible. Ben, great American accent. David, fantastic sunglasses. And more bears 😂
Have only just found your channel recently and I must say I’m watching as many as I can and this one was gold 🙌🏻the zip lining I just about peed my pants 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for all the feedback I’m absolutely loving it. Please come down under to cruise 🛳️
Born and raised in Alaska. Moose in the back yard, had to watch my dogs safety. I miss the mountains and I appreciated them everyday. Miss the clean air and water Now in Seattle. Great you’re having a wonderful time
Sounds like you have some amazing memories of Alaska! Moose in the backyard and being surrounded by mountains must have been quite an experience. While Seattle may be different, I'm glad to hear you're still enjoying your time there. Clean air and water are definitely something to appreciate. Thank you for sharing your Alaskan roots with us! 🏔️🦌🌲🌊
You two are absolutely the funniest! So informative and absolutely entertaining! I love you both!!! We are going to Alaska May 7-14, 2024 and you made us so much more excited for our trip!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and all the love! 🥰 We're thrilled to hear that you find us funny, informative, and entertaining - that's the best combo! 😄❤️ We love you too, and we're so grateful to have you as part of our cruise community!
It is amazing up there cannot wait to be back in about a month. The look on Dave's face is priceless. So which do you like better Alaska or the Fjords?
I went to Icy Strait Point, Alaska on the Norwegian Encore in September 2022 because there was a rockslide in Skagway which is where we were originally supposed to go. I'm very glad that we got to go there instead because I took the gondolas and did the zip line like you! This was an amazing experience, especially because I got to do it with my family (and I'm a thrill seeker so this was perfect)! Glad you're enjoying Alaska!
Awesome guys!! Sailed on Encore early June 2023 and the cruise was amazing! Was the trip of a lifetime. Alaska is truly incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone considering it.
I have been to Alaska! We took an exciting river rapids ride on big inflatable rafts. We really enjoyed native arts and the indigenous peoples'totem pole museum.
Thank you so much for this video. I just got back from Alaska and like Ben, I'm absolutely terrified of heights. It's only because he said he had such a good time on the zip line that I decided to give it a go. What an incredible experience! It wasn't scary at all! It was so much fun, I would have gone right up again to do a second run, if it had been possible. Honestly, the high speed gondola ride was way more scary than the zip line. Thanks. I never would have tried it if I hadn't seen your video. Cheers!
We are watching all the videos from months past to catch up! Wish we’d known about your channel a long time ago! (Love cruising!) We really appreciate you both and the great work you do!! Love your channel!!!😊❤

It’s Ben who’s frightened of heights. But David’s facial contortions were priceless. Ben froze into a gape the whole way down!
Please can you do a tour of the medical facilities/hospital on a cruise. I’m a midwife/nurse and I always want to know what the medical facilities are and what they look like. Thankyou

Best ever Alaskan photos - animals, nature, and excursions.

Ben, you crack me up. You are hysterical. Watch your videos over and over. Love you 2 🎉
I've been to Alaska twice. My favorite part was sailing through Glacier Bay. Sailing through ice bugs, we saw so many seals and watched chunks of ice fall from the glaciers. It was all amazing.
One of my bucket list things was seeing a glacier calf. Finally did it in May at Hubbard. It was awesome!
Apple jelly is wonderful!

I absolutely loved this vlog! It was a joy watching you two having an absolute blast at your first stop in Alaska. Thanks for bringing us along!!!
It makes my heart happy to see you y'all experience Alaska for the first time and how happy you are taking it all in. It makes me want to go back again soon. I will never get tired of the scenery and wildlife.
My favorite thing we did in Alaska was taking the train from Anchorage to Denali. We were there over Labor day, and they had the first snow of the season
I grew up with my Grandmother's homemade apple jelly. It's getting harder to find and I'm always excited when I do. Miss her homemade jelly
The wild life in this video made me soooo happy. Thanks for bringing us along. Marvelous!
Omg, David’s expression made my day! Love this vlog , Alaska is on my list 😊
OMG it's Ben and David with Dee and Jay, my two favorite cruise channels!!!!
You two are the best! I lived in Alaska for six years. Ita amazing, isnt it. We had bears and moose in our back yard regularly. Salmon dip is unbelievable.
I am so glad you enjoyed my home state. Alaska is beautiful. It never gets old living here. Enjoyed seeing your video and excitement.
I have been to Alaska many years ago on a cruise. The scenery is like nothing else I have ever seen. Such majesty and grandeur! One of my favorite things to do was in Juneau was go on an excursion called The Gold Creek Salmon Bake. It was at the spot at the base of this huge waterfall where they first discovered gold in Alaska. There was all you can eat Sockeye Salmon cooked for you over on open fire pit. They had all the trimmings and it was so delicious! We then were handed mining pans and were able to pan for gold in the creek! I actually found some! We then stopped by the Red Dog Saloon for some adult libations on the way back to the ship. What was your favorite thing in Alaska?
THANK YOU!!!! We just got back from Alaska and booked the zip line in Icy Straight based on how much we loved your reaction during this video! IT WAS EPIC!!! Thank you again!
You're very welcome! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing time in Alaska and enjoyed the zip line experience in Icy Strait Point. It's truly an exhilarating activity, and we're so glad our video inspired you to try it out! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we hope you have many more fantastic adventures in the future. Happy cruising! 🚢😊
I must say, an Alaska cruise is at the top of my to-do list after seeing your vlogs! Just wow. The scenery is breathtaking. I don’t know if I could muster up the courage for that zipline though!
Clearly you both are delighted with Alaska. I can't recall either of you being so animated. It's a special place. I contemplate moving there.
OMG!!!😂 died of laughter!!this is an AMAZING video!!! THANKS!!!
I was in Alaska May 2023 and absolutely loved it! I’m going back again in May 2024 on Norwegian bliss and I can’t wait!!!!! It is absolutely gorgeous up there!
Having lived for many years in Labrador, Northern British Columbia and Northern Alberta, I took most of it all for granted. Your enthusiasm has made me realize how much I had in my own back yard. Love your videos🛳
Wow what a day!
This brought back some nice memories. Did my first cruise ever in May and loved Alaska. Went on the NCL Jewel on the Premium package so did a few excursions that were paid for by the credit. One was a bus trip up to the Canadian border on the road opposite the train tracks. The driver was hilarious and told us that both the road and train tracks cross a major fault that was easy to see in the mountain side. That was a bit unnerving. I loved Alaska and can't wait to return.
Thank you for sharing. You both made me smile. There is NOTHING like Alaska
We make jelly out of anything here! I love it...
OMG I absolutely love them every single video that I watched of these two
Thank you!
The crepes on NCL are just the best. I love the variety on the buffet. On the Escape, there is an Asian noodle station, too.
Oh how I enjoyed this! what a dream adventure. Thanks for sharing, I felt your fear of heights man!!!💜
That was nothing short of fabulous, the multitude of experiences on that tour - the wildlife alone! The zip line was incredible and appreciated the accessibility shout out, well done fellas! Just hope Stef found a toilet! One of your best, but I keep saying that! You are incredible. Ben, great American accent. David, fantastic sunglasses. And more bears 😂
Alaska is absolutely stunning, overwhelming constant beauty everywhere, and the people are so friendly!
Your enthusiasm has me so excited.
OMG!! You were very courageous!! That zip-line was high!!!! This video was so good. I felt like I was traveling with you.
I can so feel your excitement seeing the whales and other wild animals - Alaska is a place I’d never thought of to go?
We lived on Kodiak Island Alaska for three years. My dad was stationed there in the navy. We had bears, seals, otters, Fox, and tons of salmon.
Thank you guys I love you both.
Have only just found your channel recently and I must say I’m watching as many as I can and this one was gold 🙌🏻the zip lining I just about peed my pants 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for all the feedback I’m absolutely loving it. Please come down under to cruise 🛳️
Your excitement is contagious. I have a 14 night cruise next Aug with Regent Seven Seas and I am so excited already. Thanks lads, love you videos.
Born and raised in Alaska. Moose in the back yard, had to watch my dogs safety.
I miss the mountains and I appreciated them everyday. Miss the clean air and water
Now in Seattle. Great you’re having a wonderful time
Sounds like you have some amazing memories of Alaska! Moose in the backyard and being surrounded by mountains must have been quite an experience. While Seattle may be different, I'm glad to hear you're still enjoying your time there. Clean air and water are definitely something to appreciate. Thank you for sharing your Alaskan roots with us! 🏔️🦌🌲🌊
over 100 cruises, wow, i am envious...your blogs are great and improve all the time
Beautiful video! As soon as my daughter is old enough Alaska on a Disney cruise here we come. I will be stealing chili con carne!
I grinned like a fool through the whole video....I love that you loved it so much!
You two are absolutely the funniest! So informative and absolutely entertaining! I love you both!!! We are going to Alaska May 7-14, 2024 and you made us so much more excited for our trip!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and all the love! 🥰 We're thrilled to hear that you find us funny, informative, and entertaining - that's the best combo! 😄❤️ We love you too, and we're so grateful to have you as part of our cruise community!
This made me miss AK so much. I lived in eagle river for 3 years 2011-2014 and would do anything to move back!!!
It is amazing up there cannot wait to be back in about a month. The look on Dave's face is priceless. So which do you like better Alaska or the Fjords?
I went to Icy Strait Point, Alaska on the Norwegian Encore in September 2022 because there was a rockslide in Skagway which is where we were originally supposed to go. I'm very glad that we got to go there instead because I took the gondolas and did the zip line like you! This was an amazing experience, especially because I got to do it with my family (and I'm a thrill seeker so this was perfect)! Glad you're enjoying Alaska!
So fun to see your excitement with Alaska! It’s an amazing place!
Awesome guys!! Sailed on Encore early June 2023 and the cruise was amazing! Was the trip of a lifetime. Alaska is truly incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone considering it.
I have been to Alaska! We took an exciting river rapids ride on big inflatable rafts. We really enjoyed native arts and the indigenous peoples'totem pole museum.
I’m from Alaska! Love seeing you enjoy my backyard. Love your channel! ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I just got back from Alaska and like Ben, I'm absolutely terrified of heights. It's only because he said he had such a good time on the zip line that I decided to give it a go. What an incredible experience! It wasn't scary at all! It was so much fun, I would have gone right up again to do a second run, if it had been possible. Honestly, the high speed gondola ride was way more scary than the zip line. Thanks. I never would have tried it if I hadn't seen your video. Cheers!
I loved all the flowers in Alaska. And the giant ornamental cabbages!
Thank you for sharing!
We are watching all the videos from months past to catch up! Wish we’d known about your channel a long time ago! (Love cruising!) We really appreciate you both and the great work you do!! Love your channel!!!😊❤
my absolute favorite cruise has been to Alaska each and every time
The rush from zip-lining - just wow!
