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!

@Ben&David Fun Fact The Bunker Barge came from Rotterdam yesterday which is crazy considering Fawley Oil Refinery is only down the water

Is Iona the same design as the new Carnival Mardis Gras?

[@Cruisewith]

@@chuckoneill2023 yes its the same ship type!

[@AltDavidMiscavige]

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!

[@salmon9950]

The way David looks at Ben with so much love ❤

[@jaynebassett4632]

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 💕💕💕

[@paulatrahern1336]

I could not love this more! It was so fun to watch and I loved hearing how you met.

[@bettyrowe1981]

I've been binge watching you guys on youtube; I can't resist your humour!

[@brendaforsythe6469]

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 !❤️❤️

[@TabithaJones-rg9ig]

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.

[@tactical_cat]

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.

[@neitherdreaming]

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.

[@susans7458]

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.

[@zenkakuji3776]

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.

[@rmonogue]

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.

[@ruralrayne]

We finally got the Ben & David origin story we’ve all been waiting for! So happy for y’all

[@Kayw434]

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!! 🎉

[@med6399]

You 2 are the coolest & cutest ‘cruise raconteurs’! Really loving your work - (since I recently found it on KZbin)! Your care & love for each other just ‘glows’! Well done!🎖🎖🎖🌹🌹🌹😎😎😎♥️♥️♥️🚢🚢🚢

[@LONESTARINDIE]

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 ❤️

[@celia61597]

It's my favorite cruise channel too. I love how it feels like we're right there with them.

[@LONESTARINDIE]

@@celia61597 they have the best personalities!

[@celia61597]

I've never been on a cruise but I think it would be a dream come true to take my first cruise with Ben and David!

[@darlenelynch7481]

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! ❤😊❤

[@user-og5mv4gn6s]

Love the pics of the young Ben and David! Such handsome young lads. Love and best wishes for a long and happy life together! ❤❤❤

[@wendyjenkins1559]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SWEETIE BLESSING TO YOU HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉🎉🎂♥️♥️♥️♥️

Gloria Estefan in my mouth…🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely a classic line. Love it.

[@Danno1983]

@Ben&David Happy bIrthday n Anniversary... Yesterday waz my bIrthday

[@jdbhouston]

Happy birthday, Ben, and happy anniversary to you both! Thanks for being such a marvelous couple, and bringing us all the fun cruising!

[@susie9893]

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

[@andrearuiz6244]

Absolutely loved to hear how you both met and adore the photos. Happy bday Ben and happy anniversary to the both of you. ❤️

[@vacationmode6286]

Soup of the day - Bloody Mary that was super funny!

[@ToughLoveMD]

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

[@lizdyson3627]

Happy Birthday Ben. But fancy forgetting how long you and David have been married, Happy Anniversary guys. xx

[@CarolHeney]

Happy Birthday, Ben, and Happy Anniversary Ben and David!!

[@user-kj9su1qm6v]

I am born and raised in the USA and love chips and vinegar. Love your channel.

[@thomaslower5375]

Happy Birthday, and Congratulations to you both, alway watching, Thomas from Saint Augustine Florida 💜🛳️💜🛳️💜🛳️💜🛳️💜

[@kimnovak8985]

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.

[@sarahbailey6996]

Oh how lovely for both of you,it’s so lovely seeing your old pics just beautiful xx

[@danakruse7325]

Loved the differences. And that you mentioned kids club on Norweign which my friend is in charge of. Happy birthday Ben.

[@jillponce2802]

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.

[@sharonm.2453]

Your story is so beautiful, I'm crying! 💗💗💗💗💗

[@charliedavenport9609]

Congratulations and happy birthday! Those fish and chips looked great. The ship looks comfortable.

[@teresadebillot5788]

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 🌈

[@desireehall6156]

Happy anniversary to the both of you

[@beachgirlbecs8178]

Loved hearing the history of Ben & David, you two were so cute

[@BrycenTara]

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.

[@cherylloshinskie6049]

Happy Birthday Ben and Happy Anniversary to you both!

[@renarettinger8523]

I love love love watching you guys! Thanks for sharing those adorable photos

[@donnavelosa2835]

Loved seeing your photos from your life together!

[@rmonogue]

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!

[@shelaghrobertson8286]

I feel the same way Robin, only, I don't suppose I will ever cruise, yet I really enjoy Ben and David's trips 💖😃

[@lisablaszczyk8071]

Just adore you both! I get giddy when I see a new vlog go up😊

[@robynpinto2606]

You guys are so lovely . Happy belated birthday and anniversary. Many many happy years together and cruising 💙❤️💙❤️💙

[@mamnan8953]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY such a well suited and amazing couple.

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.

[@sean65xjrurwin61]

Absolutely lovely to see your wedding photos , you guys are fantastic and lift my spirits every time I watch your posts on KZbin. 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.

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!!

[@laurai9179]

Happy birthday Ben and happy anniversary to you both fro Austin. I love your channel and the way you include us in your life and cruises. Thanks for all the fun times and great information.
