Please give the video a thumbs up and subscribe, it really helps us out to be able to create more honest and entertaining cruise content! Thank you so much!
It's called a Laundromat because of the "o-matic" craze in the states. Which would combine the function of a thing the the word automatic. So the building itself was originally called a Washateria but colloquially became a Laundrymatic. Which would get "shortened" to Laundromat.
OMG! I just can't get enough of you 2! The content is great,but being a (sadly)non-cruiser,I still watch(and anticipate your next video)avidly because of your personalities,your humour,puns,double entendere and Bens facial expressions. Love to you guys from an old Canadian lady who can relate to British slang.
You both have no idea how much I enjoy your videos. I’m a nurse in a very stressful environment and I watch one of your videos during every lunch break and can’t wait for the next! You are both hilarious, My husband and I would love to do a group cruise with you ❤😊
Laundromat is a combination of the words laundry and automatic (automat). I love to watch your videos and I adore your honesty. Thank you for keeping it real. I find your enthusiasm endearing.
You had me cracking up when that pistachio pastry flew out of your mouth. That 100% what would happen to me. Thanks for keeping that in the video. I really love the two of you! Your videos are both informative and very successful at making me smile.
I'm reading your comment three years later. I resemble your comment. Whenever I'm trying my best to eat daintily I always end up doing something like that.😅
My hubby & I have been watching you both for over two years, you both look SO happy again. The lockdown was so stressful - thank you for all your wonderful videos. It is so hard for all of us and your videos give us so much enjoyment!
Oh my! The 1st tea looked amazing and thank you so much for leaving in the messy cream bit...I had a good laugh because I've bitten into something and had it dump out the other side more often than I'd like to admit ;-)
I've just booked my first ever cruise on the Iona in 2024. Just come across your channel and OMG I love you two. So down to earth and so funny. The cream flying out of the cake had me laughing. I've chuckled on a few occasions you're both so funny. Thank you for a very informative and interesting video. I can't wait for 2024.
I love afternoon tea, and try to experience it at a new place every time I visit London. To have it at sea would be a dream! For me it's cream on the scone first, then jam on top. This is the way.
Great video! I may never cruise on some of the cruise lines you do, but I enjoy watching your all videos and experiences. You two are so funny and personable. Love you guys!
These videos are amazing. Thabk you. We have been trying to find real people doing blogs with honest opinions. Me, my husband and 2 boys are going next May on this cruise and this is a huge help to know what to expect realistically. Thank you guys. Xx
Recently found your channel! I absolutely love you both! Your video content is amazing! Your commentary and comedy are such a joy to watch. I love the honest reviews. Thank you for all the laughs!
Ive bought magnetic clips to put my paperwork together. Magnetic hooks too put them on the ceiling to hang long dresses on. You can request more hangers, body lotion and conditioner. You keep uttering about deck 8 but the balcony we had was double the sixe of yours. Theres privacy glass like in ambulances where you can see out but not in apart from night time. The balcony glass was quite hight up to my chest and the prom deck was lower than out balcony floor so only very tall people could see over choose the balcony cabin near the front right where the prom deck narrows. Nearer towards the front though the prom deck rises as you can start to see over the top of the balcony glass.
Out here in Australia we called laundry place a laundromat too and love your videos and they are very good help to keep me strong in keeping me going at the moment while in lockdown and my husband being very ill with stage 4 lung cancer as well as you guys make me smile 😊 and the Iona is absolutely beautiful
So much fun to watch your video. Translating from British to American English- priceless. Hilarious. We will be 3 New York ladies on Britannia in May. Promises not to toss any tea overboard. Such a bad joke...
That food for the epicurean afternoon tea looked fantastic. Definitely something to try. Thanks guys. Love seeing all the different cruise ships to compare lines.
About 30 years ago Princess and NCL and maybe all the cruise ships served a real afternoon tea, with waiters with white gloves, serving tea, bringing tea sandwiches, scones (nothing is better than scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream), etc. Those were the days! Loved looking at your teas here, even if not quite with the classics such as cucumber sandwiches, egg salad, and all the rest. I live in Las Vegas and I am hoping to soon go to the Bellagio casino where they have a Saturday afternoon tea. The last afternoon tea we had was at the Grand Floridian hotel at Disney World about 3 years ago. I am so hungry after watching you two eat! Keep up the good work! Too bad most vessels did away with the posh afternoon teas. Glad you found one!
I get so excited when I see a new video from you guys!! I wish you did one everyday. You do such a great job and I feel like I am enjoying the cruise right along with you. Hope you do another cruise with your family your nephews are so cute and I am sure bigger than the last time we saw with them and you.
Thanks for keeping the bloopers in, guys. Too funny with the pistachio pastry. Reminds me of when I had the same experience with a big fat cheeseburger while driving and the entire insides on my lap. It did not end well. Angrily, I threw it out the window (to teach it a lesson) and it hit a car driving behind me and started a little road rage from the other driver.
Instead of taking the large daily schedule with you, next time take photos of each page with your camera phone. Works for me! Great video, as always. It sounds like P&O have quite a few bugs to work out. Plus those dreadful balcony cabins would be a deal breaker for me. Not only can people see into the balcony and room, there’s not view when sitting on the balcony chairs! What’s the use?
Love you two. I look so forward to your videos. Especially on these new ships and when your talking about their food on board. Your channel is my favorite cruise channel. Would love to cruise around the UK.This ship is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.
No brown sauce on a British ship! Cue the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! My Mother was from Scotland, (Motherwell) and she put brown sauce, (A1 in America) on everything, a habit I picked up. As for Laundromat (US) there was a time when the customer had to do everything themselves. There was a restaurant in New York called the Automat where you picked your own food. BTW I love your videos, best description of cabins yet. Keep up the good work! And as always...MIND THE GAP!
Your breakfast description made me really laugh!! I, too, couldn’t find brown sauce. Your observations about the ship match ours exactly. That app??!!! 🤯🤯🤯
We live in Southampton, bring your washing round, I will make you a coffee while it's doing. Loving your video on the Iona, thank you, Gents. We have done a couple of the short trips on the Britannia and are due on Iona in January.
at first intro video made me laughed is that you said "come on come on" to the camera really FUNNY ha ha ha ..... a new cruise look veery nice abd a very fancy ..... and the food....... WOW is very interesting that they have "afternoon Tea" nice! Thank you. :)
The afternoon teas all looked delicious, they are really great value too but the first one looked the best! Haven't been on a cruise for nearly 2 years so we are living vicariously through your vlogs!
Got to this video late. Hope your both having a wonderful time and you have no idea we would love to share a breakfast with both of you on cruise in the future. So much to talk about with both of you and hope we don’t disappoint with our witty banter. Cheers to you!
Take the control panel off where the buttons are and in the back that will be a solenoid and a little screw in there that can lead a flat head screwdriver and you can just adjust the speed of the elevator with by turning the screwdriver in that screw
Hi guys, My wife and I always look forward to watching your videos as you say the truth and tell us how you really feel regarding the ships....Take care we waving from Sydney Australia.
You guys the opening was so good. I just enjoy following along. The balcony and the room itself is great. The storage yeah is terrible. The Tea Time….oooh la la. The food -
Lovely to watch as I got off it today 😊 web page was ok for us and worked ok for meals and entertainment so maybe been sorted out now. Same cabin , lack of drawers , didn’t like the wardrobe setting or bedside shelves . Bathroom superb size. Imagine 4 people in that cabin. ….😊 night light in bathroom was good at night . The tv can be pulled out and swivelled out to face the bed too.. we didn’t have a balcony light either
Your cabin Stewart will be happy to provide additional hangers (if you don’t mind wire hangers.). Started a 2020 180 day world cruise and no problem getting 30+ additional wire hangers.
I'm diabetic-sweet enough but that afternoon tea with savoury items looks good and healthy! I miss gammon-not popular here in Quebec. Just discoverd the Alpha brewery as great as Noctem and the one in Jean Talon flea market.
Please give the video a thumbs up and subscribe, it really helps us out to be able to create more honest and entertaining cruise content! Thank you so much!
I appreciate you and I'm sending you both a super big hug I'm sending you each one
The word is believed to be a combination of “laundry” and “automat,”
It's called a Laundromat because of the "o-matic" craze in the states. Which would combine the function of a thing the the word automatic. So the building itself was originally called a Washateria but colloquially became a Laundrymatic. Which would get "shortened" to Laundromat.
Thank you for the explanation
I'm going to start calling it the Washateria. Love it.
👍true!
Could it not simply be called...-laundry?...DIY laundry?...
& I thought I was done learning new things @ 38 lol
David: “…and the shower door swings both ways..” Ben: (muffled laugh)
You can always count on Ben for a well-timed giggle.
I love ben’s sense of humour 😂
❤ Thanks for the LOL on Ben and the Lychee Pearl Cream Pastry. OMG, so delightful. Well-played!

Same. I’m an RN and I decompress with their videos! Love Ben and David! ❤
NP here and new to their channel. Thank you Jesus for my new ASMR Booking the Christmas river cruise with my bestie as it will be our new tradition ❤

That look that Ben gives after one of his Corney jokes... 😀Priceless!
T-bones and toes, my two favorite topics 😂
My favorite parts of your videos is watching you guys eat. I love seeing the different foods across the pond.
that three level sandwich feast is the absolute definition of living it up! Ahhh guys! Go ahead Ben and David!!

You two are a jolly hoot! Thanks for your show and tour. A royal tea is to enjoy life at its best. My best to you both!
My husbands standard “vacation” breakfast is, English muffin, grape jam (or honey) piled with crispy bacon. He LOVES it!
OMG! Laughed so much at Ben's petit choux exploding at afternoon tea! Great tour as usual guys! :)

Your ‘Sandra Bullock’ at being lemony surprised made me chuckle out loud. Loved it. I’m surprised how empty the food areas are.
Literally been binging all of you content! Living for your humour Ben!
Hi Ben & David
Watching a video on the cabana and ‘the slide’ LOL. We love you guys xx
Love you both and especially David's descriptions of food
So much fun to watch your video. Translating from British to American English- priceless. Hilarious. We will be 3 New York ladies on Britannia in May. Promises not to toss any tea overboard. Such a bad joke...
“Get that Sausage in ya’”. 😂😱😂 guys you make me giggle. Love your videos. xx
That food for the epicurean afternoon tea looked fantastic. Definitely something to try. Thanks guys. Love seeing all the different cruise ships to compare lines.
I'm dying watching you try to eat the green thing...so funny! Thanks for the laugh guys!
DH and I slide our OPEN suitcases under the bed and use them like drawers if there’s limited storage.
About 30 years ago Princess and NCL and maybe all the cruise ships served a real afternoon tea, with waiters with white gloves, serving tea, bringing tea sandwiches, scones (nothing is better than scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream), etc. Those were the days!

Too bad most vessels did away with the posh afternoon teas. Glad you found one!
Thank you David for choosing the vegan treat to try!! It really helps those of us looking toward the menu from our dietary restrictions.
OMG Boys I could never eat all those desserts! Well done and so adorable as always!!! 💙💙💙
So enjoy your vlogs!!! Full of inspiration
I get so excited when I see a new video from you guys!! I wish you did one everyday. You do such a great job and I feel like I am enjoying the cruise right along with you. Hope you do another cruise with your family your nephews are so cute and I am sure bigger than the last time we saw with them and you.
I absolutely love watching you two. Very entertaining and informative. Love you guy and thank you for putting up so many videos.
I love the humor - makes these videos so entertaining!! I also love your honesty in your reviews!
Love watching you guys. We are getting excited for our first cruise together.
I looove afternoon tea. I want to go on that cruise just to experience the posh tea. I love your vlog. I smiled form beginning to end. subscribed!
The food at your Tea looked AMAZING!
Such a gorgeous ship!
This cruise sounds awesome! Hopefully someday I can enjoy this ship!! Love watching you guys!
Really admire your honesty. I've been watching your Virtuosa vlogs (booked on at the end of the month) and I'm just binging all of your videos now.
Thanks for keeping the bloopers in, guys. Too funny with the pistachio pastry. Reminds me of when I had the same experience with a big fat cheeseburger while driving and the entire insides on my lap.

Great video, as always. It sounds like P&O have quite a few bugs to work out. Plus those dreadful balcony cabins would be a deal breaker for me. Not only can people see into the balcony and room, there’s not view when sitting on the balcony chairs! What’s the use?
I think the Carnival Mardi Gras is even worse, as they have a tiered balcony system. Some upper decks look right down onto your balcony!
Love you two. I look so forward to your videos. Especially on these new ships and when your talking about their food on board. Your channel is my favorite cruise channel. Would love to cruise around the UK.This ship is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.
No brown sauce on a British ship! Cue the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! My Mother was from Scotland, (Motherwell) and she put brown sauce, (A1 in America) on everything, a habit I picked up.

That jar the mango dessert was in, I use those to store my artist oil paints in lol x
All the Tea Times Were Fabulous. The Ship is Beautiful. Thank You 😊😊😊😊.
I thought I'd tuned in to a Carry On movie with all the sausage jokes. Love it.🤣
And who doesn't love a shower door that swings both ways?
Just wanted you to know how enjoyable we find your blogs. Super super fun
Enjoyed your relaxation together and humour!
Ben you and that Green Pastry 🤩 was too funny 😂😂😂😂 messy
at first intro video made me laughed is that you said "come on come on" to the camera really FUNNY ha ha ha ..... a new cruise look veery nice abd a very fancy ..... and the food....... WOW is very interesting that they have "afternoon Tea" nice! Thank you. :)
Really liking this series - so useful for us who are onboard from 21 August. Thanks!
You too are silly and funny and that's why I love your blogs
I truly enjoy watching you both. You are just a joy to watch.
Thank you for making me laugh. Now I want afternoon tea.
Loved my time on Iona, and you two are brilliant ❤
The afternoon teas all looked delicious, they are really great value too but the first one looked the best! Haven't been on a cruise for nearly 2 years so we are living vicariously through your vlogs!
Came across this channel by accident now I’m addicted 👍 love the honest info. Brill viewing.
Welcome to our channel! Thank you for watching.
Always entertaining, so enjoy watching you guys. Laundromat - hope you got your laundry done:)
The Atrium does look like an airport waiting area.
To the right, to the right.
Thank you Beyonce!
Comedy gold.

Omg you two make laugh so much your easily the best and funniest bloggers on you tube.
Glad to hear the shower door swings both ways😊. I am now determined to go on a UK cruise ship because I MUST do afternoon tea!
You guys are brilliant! You have the best critiques and your filming is so good! Best channel!
Oh goodness, we are such fans of you two lovely gents! Happy to subscribe! Our channel loves your channel! ♥️♥️♥️ -H
Love the vlogs where your show a little of everything. But especially when you show the food!
You two are hilarious. Love the cabin and the afternoon tea. Good ship tour.
Hi guys, My wife and I always look forward to watching your videos as you say the truth and tell us how you really feel regarding the ships....Take care we waving from Sydney Australia.
OMG! WONDERFUL VIDEO HAD ME LAUGHING THANKS GUYS WATCHING AGAIN 😂😂😂
You guys are so funny, I think the funniest of all of the cruise vloggers. Hope to meet you guys some day. I hope you find a laundry!

Your cabin Stewart will be happy to provide additional hangers (if you don’t mind wire hangers.). Started a 2020 180 day world cruise and no problem getting 30+ additional wire hangers.
Watched another video on Iona. Found it annoying...thought to myself, I bet Ben and David have a good video and here you are!
Just look forward to always seeing your post, keep it up love you guys 🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢💜🥂
I'm diabetic-sweet enough but that afternoon tea with savoury items looks good and healthy! I miss gammon-not popular here in Quebec. Just discoverd the Alpha brewery as great as Noctem and the one in Jean Talon flea market.
You should try the Afternoon tea at the Dome in Edinburgh. Especially in December once it has been decorated.
Coffee=Magic Bean Juice ☕️
My hubby and I love tea...they all looked very nice!
