Oh, call me Merry Christmas and strap me on a reindeer(16:59)....crack me the hell up! Love you guys! Merry Christmas!

[@cruisegal4991]

You two are hilarious, very typical for over indulgence during the holidays. Imbibe with goodies until you feel like puking, love it. And Ben's sayings are off the chart. Really enjoy your vlogs, these last two have been your best. Which is a lot considering the fantastic quality of your vlogs. Thank you for sharing your holiday.

[@AudreyMealiff]

Love Ben's sayings! He came out with an exclamation about Anne Boleyn at one dinner, maybe on the Virgin cruise, it was hilarious!

[@Cruisewith]

THank you for watching Sherry

[@evelyngrammar]

Potato pancakes with applesauce - I've eaten them for decades! And sometimes I switch it up with sour cream. Yum!

[@lizcademy4809]

Latkes ... yummy!

[@susie9893]

Both is a great combination

[@emergcon]

Reibekuchen?

[@karenzirk6800]

OMG you made my Sunday. All the sausage talk. Great belly laughs! Big Hugs to you both!

[@jackiecrerar2997]

I am enjoying this river cruise so much more than the large cruise ships for sure! Great scenery and food and not loud crowds. Thankyou for taking me aling😃

[@danielbobberson9849]

Ben has absolutely the most amusing way with words...I love these videos. You guys really know how to have fun and love that you take us along. Thanks.

[@vickielopresti5767]

Yes, i took all nine different cups that i had my Gluhwein in, home with me as souvenirs....i have boots, a snowman, and other Christmas themed mugs, that hand on the wall, above the mantel in our diningroom! The 2 Christmas market cruises were my 2 favorite River cruises. Vickie from SE Pa USA

[@nuuya]

@2:57 Cognac is for France what Whiskey is for Scotland. (Cognac is a Brandy from the region "Cognac". Champagner is a sparkling wine from the region "champagne" also in France.) @11:47 yes. It's true. You get bored of castles. I live in the vally (a few miles north of Rüdesheim) and the last time I visited a castle was 2011/12. I think. @22:50 Reibekuchen/Kartoffelpuffer. Engl: potato fritter. potato pancake.

[@joyceroth7211]

A German Christmas market is on my bucket list. That's for fueling my dreams.

[@rickbolt4386]

You guys are an absolute delight to watch! It feels like we're actually there with you as you describe the sights, the smells, the food and everything you're experiencing! Such a fun pair to 'travel' with!

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks Rick! Happy to have you along with us.

[@PaisleySnail1932]

Ben getting in the hot tub: oh my God it burns 😳 David: yeah! 😀😀😀

[@priscillapd]

Was legit sad when the video ended! That was phallicly fabulous!

[@jillthomas1842]

I love you guys, you are so adorable. This Floridian couldn't do the cold.

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks Jill!

[@rjc1579]

Spent ten years living in Deutschland. Thanks for bringing back all the memories.

[@Cruisewith]

Our pleasure. Such a lovely country

[@quilterizzy9645]

You guys are so funny and cute together.

[@jayoneill1533]

“I think I’m gonna to have to blur this out.” Ben, you are one funny guy !!

[@sharonlangton6521]

2 foodies found their "Christmas Heaven" ENJOY GUYS !!

[@rocketbackhander6280]

Ben: "Oh my god it burns!" David: "YEAHH!" 😆😆😆

[@karenbryant3923]

Loved this! You guys are such "foodies" and so entertaining! Learned a new word (pissoir).

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

We loved the Rudeshein coffee on our river cruise. My father is German and, as a vhild, we'd have pork roast, potato pancakes, sauerkraut, and homemade applesauce for many winter Sunday dinner.

[@erikagholston6610]

You guys are pros at traveling. I love how you will try everything. I need to be more adventurous.

[@toddb6576]

Glad to see you Rhinding up the year with some holiday festivities. "Holy Mary mother of cased ground pork"

[@cookiemonsteroncruise9073]

I'm again 😂😂 The German Cookiemonster... The Potato Pancakes ("Kartoffel Puffer" in German) are so awesome. 😍😍😍

[@Cruisewith]

They did say the german names but not confident enough to get them right lol .

[@tacoandmemes6890]

Thrilled beyond words for Part II. Thank you so much!! Will be watching it on the big screen later, and not my phone...your videos are cinematic works of art. 🌹🌹

[@susie9893]

Yeah I learned my lesson after the first 1 and watched on my tablet which is at least 6x the size of my phone screen

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

“ well hand me a sack and shove me down the chimney” I really enjoyed this Christmas cruise! 🇨🇦

[@Cruisewith]

Oh I am stealing this!

[@victoriawolf6890]

OMG loved the Deutsch Food P@rn! I'm spent! Loved this episode! This river cruise is on our bucket list. Can't wait! Fingers crossed the great unpleasantness is over in 2022. Happy holidays to you both!

[@queenb9280]

Haha...Call me Merry Christmas and strap me to a reindeer. I DIED!! LOVE IT!

[@teriraia]

You guys are hilarious. "I.ve got a whole pig on my plate" - so funny. Love the ways you love each other and love food also!

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

19:15 The chocolate banana and Ben trying to keep it together....🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shardin3451]

Another wonderful video full of fun & fabulous food! All those goodies you have to eat but it's been said that one must suffer for one's art. Wishing you & all of my fellow fans all things merry & bright this holiday season & only the very best in 2022. Calm seas & blue skies ahead.

[@gusifer3230]

Thanks guys, I may have just booked a Christmas market river cruise for next year! Alsace and Germany for 5 days! Got the same kind of room you had so I can lie in bed and watch the world go by. So excited 😁

[@irenedavo3768]

This December ?

[@sharonwhite1985]

Thanks for taking us with you - love a German Christmas market!

[@vincesanin4221]

OMG! My wife and I were laughing so much! Your funniest video to date! All the food looked scrumptious.....we're dieing to go there for the holidays.....thanks!

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks Vince

[@marleneyoung6575]

This is your best cruise. Beautiful Christmas markets. Love it.

[@brendaforsythe6469]

You guys make my day ….every day Thank you for being you!

[@southerncaladygolfer8651]

Two of my favorite people! I look forward to your videos every week. You always make me smile. ❤️

[@lindaroland8226]

Well, call me Christmas and strap me on a reindeer, lol, because this video was absolutely fabulous! It’s so lovely that you both take the time to take us on these journeys with you. I have particularly loved the videos from the river cruise. The scenery, the market, the food…all so enjoyable to see. Thanks again, for this wonderful video.

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you so much Linda!

[@BrunneronTour]

I am freezing my Jingle Bells off............. You made my day! Thank you and merry Christmas!

[@tracytrebilcox]

This episode is so funny to me. Mexican churros in Germany being used to dip into chocolate, a chocolate banana that was first developed on Balboa Island in California, and bread bowls originally used in San Francisco for clam chowder as a way to use up the sourdough from Boudin's. How the heck do the two of you stay so slender??

[@peterpaigefanqaf]

The potatoes pancake is called Latka . It is one of the foods to celebrate Hanukkah. Most eat it with apple sauce or sourcream. I'm not Jewish myself but have them every year to celebrate the 8 nights of oil.

[@larrymcconlogue5960]

Omg Guys. This trip looks like so much fun. You guys are so funny we would love to vacation with you both. Thank you for sharing this special Christmas trip with us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you both.

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you 🤗

[@ChristopherDimitriousPhanara]

How much fun! I would love to visit Germany one day. Thanks Guyzzz!

[@davidsheets1092]

My wife and I enjoy watching your vlogs about cruising. Long time subscribers. We are waiting for this new strain of covid to exit out of here before we start cruising once again. But in the mean time we wanted to wish bothof you, Ben & David, a Very Merry Christmas and have a safe and healthy New Year. Donna & David Sheets

[@Cruisewith]

Merry Christmas Donna & David!

[@KnightsArmory]

My wife and I are watching all yalls videos before we go on a cruise soon. Informative and funny. Keep up the great work 😁👊

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you!

[@seleyav.7101]

10:13 You are not totally wrong with "deutsche Suppe", David! Some restaurants and pubs here in Germany make a joke and describe beer as "Kaltes Schaumsüppchen von Hopfen und Malz auf Bierdeckel" - cold frothy soup of hops and malt on a beermat.

[@mmc9828]

We booked a Viking cruise, Christmas on the Rhine Amsterdam to Basel departing November 25th. Can't wait!!

[@Cruisewith]

Have a great cruise

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Your ebullience and insight has made my Monday morning (here) bearable! Thank you for the video!

[@warrenwolf4690]

[@MencyNars]

[@brianb2837]

Awesome the adventure continues thanks Ben and David!

[@JaJa-qt5sf]

We were on AmaMagna ship this year. Was amazing. Ama Waterways has the best crew and food. You should try AmaMagna because it is differwnt than any other river ship.

[@chulita097]

I think this is the classic episode of your adventure. 😂❤️❤️❤️ Bravo!!!

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks!

[@msdove61]

So Beautiful there love seeing all the Christmas lights. Oh my gosh Ben you have the absolutely amusing way with words, you make my day! And David you are so cute, I love watching you guys.

[@davidlyon4226]

Never seriously considered a river cruise before seeing this, but you nuts have me thinking about it now.

[@sarahbailey6996]

I love you two you are both so funny and it’s great how you both bounce off each other xx

[@lisaanderson8235]

You two are having so much fun and I feel like I'm right there with you! I drank a tasty beer while watching so I could join in the Christmas cheer. 🤭🍺🎄❤️

[@susie9893]

I was drinking an apple cider. It felt like the thing to do

[@Cruisewith]

Love that! Cheers!

[@bigkevin9076]

I want to wish the both of you , Oscar and his parents a very merry Christmas and a happy healthy and blessed new year, keep making these great videos the world needs more people like you two.

[@powerofnow73]

You guys always make my day ,the words you use just make me 🤣🤣😂😂💕💕

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

My memorable spots in Mainz were Roman artifacts in town. There is a subterranean excavation in a very modern shopping center in Mainz that is very uniquely presented.

[@johnhenfrey5936]

Lovely to see you are having a great time Lads. Wow you really put some food away in that Market.

[@katrinastreeting6452]

Really enjoying this Christmas River Cruise, the markets look wonderful, but really you had me at Gluhwein!

[@eleanor4482]

Loving the unique sights on this cruise especially the bed facing the outside. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2022. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@Cruisewith]

Happy Christmas too!!

[@charliedavenport9609]

Awesome guys! Both of you are way too funny! So enjoyed! Thanks for Sharing

[@michellemann941]

[@mattrohbock9019]

Thank you for bringing a smile to my face every week!

[@barbb]

Potato pancakes with applesauce is amazing. All the food looks amazing. Will have to look at these Christmas-market cruise. Thank you. Merry Christmas

[@Cruisewith]

The best thing that we ate the whole cruise.

[@texasboy5117]

That has to be one of the prettiest rivers in the world! We already have our second trip booked for the same cruise. Marry Christmas from Texas!

[@Cruisewith]

Happy Christmas !!

[@johnstoutley2046]

I was so glad to see this part of your River Cruise. Maybe one day we will get there. Maybe not at Christmas, but maybe in 2023 in the fall. But thanks for your detailed vlog. Hope you continue to have a great cruise. And Christmas and New Year greetings to you both.

[@Cruisewith]

Happy Christmas John!!

[@jodura3363]

I know I sound like a stuck record. You both are hilarious. Give great reviews. Love your down to earth….enjoy life attitude

[@jenniferbaragar8254]

Yum time featuring Ben & David! Well done!

[@karenjensen2345]

I totally want to go on a European Christmas Cruise now!

[@TheRelizabeth]

Anyone else here in June 2024? 😂😂❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐

[@lokizig]

It's now October 2024 and I've just found it 😂x

[@glenyswoodruff]

Just found this I was wanting them to go here, they already did.

[@pegedey1291]

Thank you for more Christmas 🎄 it is just so lovely. And oh you were cold ! Tea good warm up !

[@duchessofst.andrew7210]

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄❤ Ben and David from the Hills of St. Andrew 🙋🏻‍♀️❣🥳🎁🎊🌈

[@zenkakuji3776]

This was one of the most challenging of your videos to watch because, the more I watched, I just wished more and more that I could have gone on that cruise and experienced the magic of the Christmas market experience! Next year's holiday season awaits. Merry Christmas to one and all 🎄🛳️

[@susanhurtado8787]

So much fun. Really enjoyed this video. You made me happy. Thank you

[@Cruisewith]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lynneshrode2927]

OMG! I loved this video, what fun. It reminded me of our trip to the German Christmas markets 4 years ago. Thanks for letting us tag along and get into the Christmas Spirit!

[@marjielalonde3875]

So excited for this video and it was wonderful, thanks guys! Hilarious with all the sausage😂

[@sheenab6569]

Looks like you two are in a Hallmark movie 😆. Looks beautiful 😍

[@stevebartley628]

I’ve spent about 20 days ( and I hope 6 more next year ) in the first town that you show, which is Bacharach. Great town

[@jeangrice5462]

What a lovely Christmassy video. I feel like I've been on the cruise with you.

[@Cruisewith]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sweetcookies618]

Watching you guys makes me feel like I'm on vacation too ..unfortunately I can't taste the food though..😂😂

[@catherineb6561]

even I felt a bit sick after watching your food-stravaganze at the winter festival.

[@wendysmith2743]

Thanks guys for a fabulous video. Oh my gosh the food looked absolutely delicious. Take care.

[@pamelachan7004]

We call the food that David was eating in the beginning the “home wrecker “. Love going for the Christmas markets.

[@chrisevans6471]

I’ve been watching your videos for a while and you make me laugh every time. Your absolutely hilarious.

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you so much Chris!

[@JCF072344]

Thanks for taking us along. We "did" the Rhine several years ago in November on Viking and I recall getting back to the warm ship after a cold excursion. By the way, watching you indulge doesn't make me fat, although maybe it does.

[@cflores9275]

Call me Mary Christmas and strap me on a reindeer. 😂 Priceless.

[@104Margie]

How fabulous was that Christmas market!!!! The food looked phenomenal and your descriptions priceless! Love you guys! We love Oceania. The food is a cut above. Hopefully you'll go on one. Riviera and Marina especially and the brand new Vista in 2023.

[@debwelsh2564]

I want to spend just one day with you two guys! Well, maybe 7 on a cruise with you. I’m drooling over all the savory German delicacies. 😝💗

[@vickyb5935]

GUYS, I`m envious as you`re eating my favorite Christmas market sausage - the long thick roasted sausages!!! Didn`t do any markets this year but hope next year will pan out - continue to have fun and Merry Christmas!!!!

[@Cruisewith]

Merry Christmas!

[@LindySellsHomes]

Let’s be frank :), you guys are a hoot to watch. Thank you for a peek into your day.

[@debbieklockner153]

Thank you guys for another beautiful Christmas video. It was a lot of fun watching you guys enjoy the Christmas market, I can’t wait for Christmas now!

[@maryv.4476]

Once again: FABULOUS !!! Thank you and a very merry christmas and happy, healthy new year to Ben and David!!!

[@Cruisewith]

Happy Christmas Mary!!

[@ForeverYeung]

Love your video. Each week I’m waiting for your new video. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good job presenting it.

[@sitchad]

German food done well is really good. Not so good for you, but once in a while it's fantastic. I am envious of you guys. Ben, I agree apple strudel is the best. What a fun time you guys.

[@lakegirl3637]

What an amazing trip! Thank you so much for taking us along! Merry Christmas!

[@rlhubert]

You two are just the most entertaining! Love watching you both❤️

[@jeanfish7]

German food is wonderful, but I gained the most weight in Japan of all places!:)
