David, when you were in Milo’s walking on the white rocks, you said you didn’t want to go tumbling all the way down into the ocean. THEN you said “I’m sure there are a few people who would like to see me fall into the sea and get hurt, but I personally don’t want to“. My heart broke for you that you feel or know of those kinds of nasty hurtful people. 😡😔 You and Ben are so lovely, entertaining and oh so funny. I watch your videos all the time, and am inspired to start cruising. Always listen to the good, kind and positive, and ignore all the negativity. They are just wasting energy. Know that there are way more people out there who love you both and can’t wait for your next cruise 😁 Going to Canada anytime soon 😂😂 Lisa xx
My new favourite YT channel. They are so funny and informative. This cruise looks amazing. Made me immediately look up Celstyal cruises but it looks like all their cruises include a 3 day prior stay in Athens which really doesn't appeal :(
As a Santorinian, I am so happy that a couple like you that has travelled so much, loved and said such good things about my home island! I hope you will come come back someday and go to other “hidden gem” places on the island! Enjoy the rest of your holidays!
Being Irish myself (Republic of Ireland) and living 21 years in the U.K., I loved the sign about the English Breakfast that had all the names of the U.K. supermarkets mentioned - I also noticed that there was an Irish pub on the island of Santorini, as well as a Catholic Church, even though most of Greece is Greek Orthodox
The donkeys are certifiably insane. It was STRONGLY suggested to us that we take the cable cars instead as the donkeys go down beside the cable cars, at least they did about 30 years ago and are so afraid they try to get as close to the wall as possible so you may not have a leg left on the side near the wall.
Thank you Ben for speaking up for the donkeys. We’ve seen some videos taken there of how poorly the donkeys are treated. It’s so heartbreaking. Thank you again Ben and happy cruising from your subscribers, Brad and Roxanne in Carlsbad California!
"Ooo, Martha Stewart in prision!" 😂😂😂My favorite Benism of all times! Great video. Sadly too many stairs for me so love visiting Greece through your videos. 😊
It’s very unlikely we will ever visit the Greek islands and even if we did mobility would be a big issue. Your videos give the feeling of a taste of actually visiting. Thanks!
can understand my mom was on whellchair and haves problem walking in Santorini also some Tuscany hill towns i love she hates but Mykonos,Crete and Corfu was great
Just a quick side-comment : I usually don't like when reviews take too much time over food (even if I like to have an overview of what's to eat, obvioulsy), but you guys are so genuinely happy when you cross over good food that he makes me happy as well, just as looking at you 🙂 Great review overall and I will consider a cruise the day I have the opportunity to go there.
Hi Ben and David!!!! I am so glad that you enjoyed that cruise!!! I live on Santorini island and I was thrilled to see my home in your video! I have also been on that cruise many years ago and your video brought back memories!!! ❤❤
I would far rather cruise on a small ship like this than one of the giant floating amusement parks. Quieter, more relaxing, more opportunities to get to know people, and of course the ability to get to places the larger ships can't go. Did you go to Knossos when you were on Crete? It is believed that Knossos was destroyed when the volcano on Santorini erupted around 1450 B.C.E. (or 1600 B.C.E. depending on who you read) and that that is what gave rise to the legend of Atlantis. Your nephews are adorable, by the way.
I’m so glad you kept you cat joke and Ariel moment in this version 😂 Congratulations on a new nephew those babies are beautiful! Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure🩵
Very much enjoyed your video. I liked seeing David have so much fun dancing and absolutely lost it when Ben did his little mermaid song up on that Rock. Bravo Bravo!!!🎉🎉🎉
The folks you heard yelling in that house on Milos were not arguing and nothing negative or frightening was occurring…That was just a normal discussion where those involved felt passionate about their opinions or thoughts or ……their daughters new boyfriend🙃Very normal! That is one of the many beauties of the Greeks culture. They never carry stress, buried feelings or pent up hostility. They say (very loudly)what they mean & mean what they say…they get it all out in the open & out of their system …and then dance… They are truly lovely, warm, welcoming, live & let live people..
Went on a cruise to the Greek islands nearly 50 years ago (ships were really small then; small is so much better). Santorini and Mykonos had very few tourists then and we were the only ship there. Couldn't go there now - too many tourists and the towns seem at least twice the size. Only option of getting up to Thera was to walk or take a donkey. I walked and my husband rode a donkey. Enjoyed seeing them again on your vlog. Did you go to Knossos when on Crete? Fantastic place.
Oh my goodness ! Your mermaid pose just made me laugh out loud ! Love you guys !! 💖💖 I'll never be able to afford an amazing cruise like that, so I'll live vicariously through you two ! 😁
Looks like Oscar has major competition! Teddy is adorable! (We just had a Grandson Theodore too!!! He is giving his older brother Levi a run for his money too!) Love you guys! - Captains Bart & Sue R
Aww, thank you so much, Captains! Teddy is definitely keeping Oscar on his toes, and it sounds like Theodore is doing the same for Levi! Sending love right back to you all!
I love the, “In my defense” argument. I hear both of your sides of that story, because when you’re exploring, every idea is at least partially correct. What a beautiful place to be semi lost in. Thank you for walking me around! I appreciate you. 🤗❤️😊
I believe your puff pastry "cake" is a Napoleon "...or mille-feuille is a classic French pastry with layers of buttery, flaky puff pastry baked until golden and crisp, then filled with alternating layers of pastry cream and whipped cream"
I just loved this video. I had never seen these islands before. Now, I am totally convinced that I should visit Greek islands. Loved the pictures of your nephews.
This trip looked amazing! Wow!! Jealous! Thank you for sharing so beautiful. Each island was so pretty. Not one was bad. All were so clean and beautiful.
Thank you for another informative and very hilarious video! Lovely, lovely views of charming Greek islands. so glad you survived the cable car on Santorini and the harrowing landscape of that last beach. So much fun!
Ben, I am so glad that you didn't notice that your gondola window was cracked or you really would have panicked. David, the bumps occur each time you go across the support posts for the gondola guide cables. Those Greek islands are spectacular and each one unique. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Yes!! I was cheering you on to go for it on those sweets! Omg. That cake!! That cabinet of sweets looked yummy too!! Beautiful footage. Thank you both for sharing your time there.
absolutely LOVE you both so much! writing to you from Texas and dreaming of traveling on all of your adventures. You both bring such joy! Happy Sailing!!
Hello Ben and David. Oh my gosh that was such a special adventure to a place I have only seen in pictures on magazines for cruises or tours. I have a cousin that goes to different parts of Greece every second year so do get to see those pictures too. The diversity of the scenery was fantastic, tree covered hills, blue green ocean, the coast line on the last island was spectacular. I would totally get lost in all those winding streets too. The food was an interesting part of the cruise but was it always Greek or did they have some various meals. Thanks for taking us along on this great adventure. Have fun when meeting that cute new little baby Teddy and seeing your nephew Oscar. Take care.
Thank you for this! We are going in couple of days on the Journey with Celestyal, and I was so happy to stumble upon your videos! You guys are awesome! Subscribed :)
Ahhhh! I was so excited to watch this video! I am from the U.S. and I cruised the Greek islands last summer with a group of friends. We cruised on Celestyal and loved it! I have cruised on big Carnival ships, but we enjoyed the smaller ship and the ease of getting around so much more! Our cruise also went to Santorini, Mykonos and Milos, along with Thessaloniki, Rhodes in Greece, and Kusadasi(Ephesus)in Turkey, Our favorite island was Mykonos. We didn't find it as crowded as Oia in Santorini. When we go back we probably won't go back to Oia, but will stay in the capital of Fira when we are at Santorini. Oia was gorgeous, but just too busy to enjoy. We were on the cable car down the mountain at night. It was beautiful seeing the city lit up, but I was nervous of the cable car too! We saw some of the same exact views that you showed in the video and it made me hungry to go back. Speaking of hungry, isn't Greek food amazing? In general, we found the food to be much cheaper than in the States.
Wow, it sounds like you had an incredible cruise experience in the Greek islands! 😄🏝️ It's great to hear that you enjoyed the smaller ship and exploring these beautiful destinations. Yep, greek food is the best. After this trip we found ourselves making it weekly! 🚢🇬🇷🌟
I am ADDICTED to your channel! I never thought I’d like cruising but I’ve been watching all of your episodes for over a month now and you’ve made me want to cruise! It’s our 10 yr anniversary next year and we’re planning our first ever cruise. You’re both hilarious, honest and relatable ❤️ Thank you for the entertainment and honest reviews!
What a wonderful video! You two are so warm and funny and just do such a great job! I know I have found a new place I want to go, Greece! Keep up the great work! I love all your vids.
Great advice on when to travel , we went to Santorini in early September last year, five cruise ships in . We queued at the cable car for one hour twenty in the blistering sun, thousands up on thousands of tourist like us on the top of the mountain packed like sardines . The queue for the cable car to come down was approx two hours so we walked, legs wobbling when we got to the bottom. Thankfully the good people of Celebrity giving out ice cold towels and chilled drinks while queuing for the tenders. Got back to the ship and settled on the Magic Carpet for much needed cold refreshments. People weigh the situation up on arrival if more than three ships be careful, it will be hot and uncomfortable .
Ben & David I really appreciated this video as I will be cruising on Odyssey of the Seas on October 1st, 2024!! I wish you guys could join me. This is going to be my 1st Europe cruise and I'm very nervous and excited! Our ship will stay till 8 pm in Santorini. Come with me please 🙏 I love you guys so much!!!
Love you guys. Always making me smile & laugh. We LOVE Santorini, and Oia is one of our favorite places. When the cruise ships are gone, it is so lovely in the evening. The island just sparkles with all of the lights. It is stunning. Thanks for sharing and glad you loved the island as well. - Coreen
Cruised the Greek Islands years ago with Royal Caribbean and loved Santorini! (I’ve always wanted to go back, even more so now after watching your vlog!!) Thank you for the great content!! I so enjoy your channel!!
Oh my gosh! I’m falling in love with the Greek islands!! Ok - now to talk my husband about planning this. Celystial really looks like a fantastic cruise line!
Gorgeous islands!!! I definitely will need to bring extra sunscreen due to all of the reflective surfaces. I believe that I'd prefer smaller to medium cruise ships over mega ships as I am not a fan of large crowds. Besides, it seems that all the extras on mega ships come with extra fees.
Where do you get your audio assets from?? The sound design is fantastic for this vid! A lot of people don’t realize how much audio quality matters for good video and I think you guys nailed it for this one.
Did my first smaller cruise earlier this year. 600 people for 35 nights. It was fantastic. You got yo know other cruisers more, and the crew more. And the crew got to know you better as well. Not sure if I’ll ever do another of over 1,000 people again.
I enjoyed this video very much. I have been to Santorini and Mykonos, but watching this video felt like it was my first time seeing them. I love those islands and I am visiting them again in June after 12 years. Creta will be my first time getting off the ship in that island. It looked very pretty in the video. I cannot wait!! The funicular was not very scary for me, but I would love to go down back to the ship on foot, let's see. Donkeys are a NO for me.
This was amazing. I'm now going to look into booking a cruise with this cruise line now. I had never heard of it before. The whole trip looked incredible.
That's fantastic to hear! If you would like more information on this cruise, complete the form here: www.cruisewith.co.uk/book-a-cruise and our partner agent will be able to help.
This looks so much better than your cruises with mainstream companies. The one I liked best was Viking but I am having second thoughts... The food in the buffet looks amazing, the time you have at ports and the places you go - really this is the only way to do Greece.
You guys are hysterical! I ❤ all your videos. Going to Greece May ‘25…small vessel . Never would I cruise in a mega ship anywhere - totally agree with you on that. Off season is May & October?
Who would want David hurt he is so nice same as you Ben,I just love this vid and these places you have been to it looks amazing I am thinking of booking on this ship to go there xx
You have just given me an idea - why don’t Irish Ferries & Stena use smaller tender boats for foot passengers when the ferries are docked out in Dublin Bay to sail further up the River Liffey at high tide and go all the way up to the Custom House/Tara St or O’ Connell Bridge to allow passengers a greater range of onward transport options on arrival in Dublin
We love the smaller ships. More personalized service. Our very first cruise in 2000 on the Marco Polo of Orient Lines. It was an older ship, originally a Russian ship. Since then, we've always preferred the smaller ones. The biggest we like are ships like the Norwegian Jade and that ilk.
Good looking tour. They took you on the whole way round the island. Santorini was my all time #1 port in my 5 years working on cruise ships. I was lucky to get to go there a few times. Looks like the only thing you missed is a lunch at Lucky's Souvlaki, which had my all time favorite gyros in all of greece. Being able to stay until midnight is a big plus for such a busy port. The cable car being a long wait is an understatement. But i took the walk down and also up the donkey trail and you would have lost you mind at more then just the heat and walk... Nothing/nobody is cleaning up after the donkeys that go up and down all day.
I have never cruised but this is the sort of cruise id like ss i love Greece and i would get to visit islands ive not yet explored. Thank uou both lots. ❤❤
I so LOVE your videos, not just to let me know experiences that I'd enjoy but in this case especially, things I don't think I would. Sorry Santorini, maybe I'll see you in mid February??? ❤ Honest, I just couldn't handle that crowd, that stampede. It's just jot my scene. I knew it was very touristic, but u til I saw your video I didn't really appreciate how crowded and noisy it was. I'll happily wait until the off-off season 😊
Thank you for the heads up on inaccessibility issues. I thought that might be the case, but it was a very good thing to have any doubts confirmed. So, no Santorini for me, alas. Love you guys. 😘
Thank you for this video and the last one! I’m booked on their new to them ship the first week of September next year. After my Japan trip got postponed for three years due to the pandemic I hope this one goes according to plan! My mum loves the sound of the Alaska/Hawaii cruise on NCL so hoping they still offer it in a couple of years. Congrats on your new nephew!
Santorini is one of the best places on Earth. I remember we were on a giant bed in the spa at the front of the Celebrity Equinox watching Santorini coming into view, it's a true must visit. We sat on our balcony watching the sunset in the evening, truly magical, great video again, guys. Thanks for bringing us on your Adventure guys.

Absolutely loved Ben as the The Little (?) Mermaid. A legitimate laugh out loud moment. Great episode fellas!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love that Ben took the high road and rode the cable-car in lieu of riding a donkey up and down the mountain.💓🐎💓Donkeys rock!
I laughed so hard at that too & a couple of other moments ! They are great!
About the lady having the argument: we greeks always talk loud. That was probably a normal conversation for her 😄
Hey! At 13:38... is that CRACKED GLASS BEHIND BEN on the cable car???😝🙃🥵
The donkeys are certifiably insane. It was STRONGLY suggested to us that we take the cable cars instead as the donkeys go down beside the cable cars, at least they did about 30 years ago and are so afraid they try to get as close to the wall as possible so you may not have a leg left on the side near the wall.
I love how you always give props to the crew (when they deserve it). In our cruising experiences, the crew usually makes the cruise memorable.
David: "It tastes (cringe and frown)...healthy." LOL
Thank you Ben for speaking up for the donkeys. We’ve seen some videos taken there of how poorly the donkeys are treated. It’s so heartbreaking. Thank you again Ben
and happy cruising from your subscribers, Brad and Roxanne in Carlsbad California!
"Ooo, Martha Stewart in prision!" 😂😂😂My favorite Benism of all times! Great video. Sadly too many stairs for me so love visiting Greece through your videos. 😊
I agree that was one of Ben’s best little jokes. 😂
It’s very unlikely we will ever visit the Greek islands and even if we did mobility would be a big issue. Your videos give the feeling of a taste of actually visiting. Thanks!
can understand my mom was on whellchair and haves problem walking in Santorini also some Tuscany hill towns i love she hates but Mykonos,Crete and Corfu was great
I feel the same way.. that cruise looks stunning..with my mobility I couldn't do all that walking.
Santorini is one of my most favorite travel memories
Just a quick side-comment : I usually don't like when reviews take too much time over food (even if I like to have an overview of what's to eat, obvioulsy), but you guys are so genuinely happy when you cross over good food that he makes me happy as well, just as looking at you 🙂
Great review overall and I will consider a cruise the day I have the opportunity to go there.
We thought Milos was one of the most beautiful islands we’ve ever visited, and it’s our favorite of the Greek Isles. Another well-done video guys. 👏
Hi Ben and David!!!! I am so glad that you enjoyed that cruise!!! I live on Santorini island and I was thrilled to see my home in your video! I have also been on that cruise many years ago and your video brought back memories!!! ❤❤
It's wonderful to hear from a Santorini local!
I would far rather cruise on a small ship like this than one of the giant floating amusement parks. Quieter, more relaxing, more opportunities to get to know people, and of course the ability to get to places the larger ships can't go.
Did you go to Knossos when you were on Crete? It is believed that Knossos was destroyed when the volcano on Santorini erupted around 1450 B.C.E. (or 1600 B.C.E. depending on who you read) and that that is what gave rise to the legend of Atlantis.
Your nephews are adorable, by the way.
Great vlog, so fun! Classic Ben-ism: "Martha Stewart in prison" ... I cackled! Your nephew Teddy is adorable.
thank you for taking us on your island adventures ... you really know how to have a good time
Our pleasure!
I’m so glad you kept you cat joke and Ariel moment in this version 😂
Congratulations on a new nephew those babies are beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure🩵
I think the only thing that got Edited out was the whole section about all the accidents the ship has had
@@Narutocoolcat why they took it out?
@@judith09alez That C&D letter from Celestyal Cruises must have come in with a quickness! And on a Sunday, no less!
@@NarutocoolcatACCIDENTS??!
I like the smaller ship! What a beautiful cruise!
This was amazing. Saw the two videos from Celestyal Cruises. It looks like you really enjoyed yourselves.
Think I want to go on one of those cruises!
Very much enjoyed your video. I liked seeing David have so much fun dancing and absolutely lost it when Ben did his little mermaid song up on that Rock. Bravo Bravo!!!🎉🎉🎉
Would love to know what souvenirs you buy to remember your travels. Or if you don’t buy anything. Thanks!
Me too!
The folks you heard yelling in that house on Milos were not arguing and nothing negative or frightening was occurring…That was just a normal discussion where those involved felt passionate about their opinions or thoughts or ……their daughters new boyfriend🙃Very normal!

😂 the argument in Greek behind you at ~32-33. A tour and a show! Mama Mia live. 🎬📽💃🏻

You guys are awesome in the beautiful turquoise water!!!!! Gave me so many laughs!!! You are the best Ben and David!!!!!!
You guys are so funny - you had me at "I do like a bit o' wine and snackage". Me too! Great trip and great video.
I believe your puff pastry "cake" is a Napoleon

Hello Ben and David. Oh my gosh that was such a special adventure to a place I have only seen in pictures on magazines for cruises or tours. I have a cousin that goes to different parts of Greece every second year so do get to see those pictures too.

If I ever go on a cruise it will be a small ship, if the option is available. Beautiful country. Thank you for the video.
What a wonderful tour of the Greek Islands and all that fab food thanks for taking me with you 💕
How awesome Ben and David. I so wish I could have been there and go to places like that. Love you guys. This was fantastic
Would love to be on a smaller ship. Celestyal looks lovely…and the food!
Thank you for this! We are going in couple of days on the Journey with Celestyal, and I was so happy to stumble upon your videos! You guys are awesome! Subscribed :)
This seems like a great cruise to check off some big bucket list islands.

Congratulations uncle Ben and David! Gorgeous babies!
Wow, you absolutely sold it. Looks beautiful and one for the bucket list
I love the smaller ships especially one like you were on. They have so much personality such a gorgeous cruise! ❤
We agree!
What a wonderful video! You two are so warm and funny and just do such a great job! I know I have found a new place I want to go, Greece! Keep up the great work! I love all your vids.
I really enjoy your channel. A smaller ship would be my preference especially to these destinations. Sail on!😊
This cruise looks AMAZING!!! It’s on my list for sure! I love smaller ships vs the big ones.
I have booked a 21 night cruise on Celestyal Journey. I go March 2024. Realkglad that you did these videos. Thank you ❤
Great advice on when to travel , we went to Santorini in early September last year, five cruise ships in . We queued at the cable car for one hour twenty in the blistering sun, thousands up on thousands of tourist like us on the top of the mountain packed like sardines . The queue for the cable car to come down was approx two hours so we walked, legs wobbling when we got to the bottom. Thankfully the good people of Celebrity giving out ice cold towels and chilled drinks while queuing for the tenders.
Got back to the ship and settled on the Magic Carpet for much needed cold refreshments.

Ben & David I really appreciated this video as I will be cruising on Odyssey of the Seas on October 1st, 2024!! I wish you guys could join me. This is going to be my 1st Europe cruise and I'm very nervous and excited! Our ship will stay till 8 pm in Santorini. Come with me please 🙏 I love you guys so much!!!
I want you to know that because of this video series on Crystal, we're looking to them for our next cruise. Thanks guys. ❤
Big Congratulations to the new nephew! And to Oscar to his new brother. Honestly, Oscar is just like mini Ben.
Congratulations to the whole family. ❤🎉
Love you guys. Always making me smile & laugh. We LOVE Santorini, and Oia is one of our favorite places. When the cruise ships are gone, it is so lovely in the evening.

This is hands down my favorite cruise you have taken. AMAZING.🎉❤
Wow Wow Wow thank you for taking me with on your Greek Odyssey Loved seeing all the footage and beautiful places
I cant believe how beautiful are these cities

Did Odyssey in Greece May 22. Best ship and itinerary ever!! ❤❤❤
I enjoyed this video very much. I have been to Santorini and Mykonos, but watching this video felt like it was my first time seeing them. I love those islands and I am visiting them again in June after 12 years. Creta will be my first time getting off the ship in that island. It looked very pretty in the video. I cannot wait!! The funicular was not very scary for me, but I would love to go down back to the ship on foot, let's see. Donkeys are a NO for me.
This was amazing. I'm now going to look into booking a cruise with this cruise line now. I had never heard of it before. The whole trip looked incredible.
That's fantastic to hear! If you would like more information on this cruise, complete the form here: www.cruisewith.co.uk/book-a-cruise and our partner agent will be able to help.
Ben doing Ariel was EVERYTHING!!! Love your videos!
"Divorce and Disownment." OMG Ben, that's the best one yet.
This looks so much better than your cruises with mainstream companies. The one I liked best was Viking but I am having second thoughts... The food in the buffet looks amazing, the time you have at ports and the places you go - really this is the only way to do Greece.
You guys are hysterical! I ❤ all your videos. Going to Greece May ‘25…small vessel .
Never would I cruise in a mega ship anywhere - totally agree with you on that.
Off season is May & October?
Who would want David hurt he is so nice same as you Ben,I just love this vid and these places you have been to it looks amazing I am thinking of booking on this ship to go there xx
It is awesome that you are open to trying out new experiences. Keep sharing your adventures….I love it.
Thank you! Will do!
You have just given me an idea - why don’t Irish Ferries & Stena use smaller tender boats for foot passengers when the ferries are docked out in Dublin Bay to sail further up the River Liffey at high tide and go all the way up to the Custom House/Tara St or O’ Connell Bridge to allow passengers a greater range of onward transport options on arrival in Dublin
❤😂😂😂Ben as Ariel. Wonder what their new ship will be like!! Greece looks amazing!!
Thank you for this video- I laughed so hard at the water scene- little mermaid songs, etc. Keep up the great (and entertaining) travels!
We love the smaller ships. More personalized service. Our very first cruise in 2000 on the Marco Polo of Orient Lines. It was an older ship, originally a Russian ship. Since then, we've always preferred the smaller ones.
The biggest we like are ships like the Norwegian Jade and that ilk.
Good looking tour. They took you on the whole way round the island.
Santorini was my all time #1 port in my 5 years working on cruise ships. I was lucky to get to go there a few times.
Looks like the only thing you missed is a lunch at Lucky's Souvlaki, which had my all time favorite gyros in all of greece.
Being able to stay until midnight is a big plus for such a busy port. The cable car being a long wait is an understatement.
But i took the walk down and also up the donkey trail and you would have lost you mind at more then just the heat and walk... Nothing/nobody is cleaning up after the donkeys that go up and down all day.
I have never cruised but this is the sort of cruise id like ss i love Greece and i would get to visit islands ive not yet explored. Thank uou both lots. ❤❤
I so LOVE your videos, not just to let me know experiences that I'd enjoy but in this case especially, things I don't think I would. Sorry Santorini, maybe I'll see you in mid February??? ❤ Honest, I just couldn't handle that crowd, that stampede. It's just jot my scene. I knew it was very touristic, but u til I saw your video I didn't really appreciate how crowded and noisy it was. I'll happily wait until the off-off season 😊
😂😂 I wanna be where the people are .. . Crying here - so so funny. Just brilliant. ❤
Thank you for the heads up on inaccessibility issues. I thought that might be the case, but it was a very good thing to have any doubts confirmed. So, no Santorini for me, alas.
Love you guys. 😘
Congratulations Uncle Ben, he is adorable! Thanks for such a great video. Greece is a total bucket list and now I can not wait!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video and the last one! I’m booked on their new to them ship the first week of September next year. After my Japan trip got postponed for three years due to the pandemic I hope this one goes according to plan! My mum loves the sound of the Alaska/Hawaii cruise on NCL so hoping they still offer it in a couple of years. Congrats on your new nephew!
Santorini is one of the best places on Earth. I remember we were on a giant bed in the spa at the front of the Celebrity Equinox watching Santorini coming into view, it's a true must visit. We sat on our balcony watching the sunset in the evening, truly magical, great video again, guys. Thanks for bringing us on your Adventure guys.
Thanks for another amazing trip❤ congratulations on the birth of your new nephew Teddy🎉
We did an awesome tour to Delois, so glad we choose that tour. Enjoyed Mykonos very much.
Your Greece video reminds me of those quirky European movies with it's vivid colours. 31:20 that was worth the wait LOL.
Lovely! Have always wanted to see Santorini
