  • Today is our second day in Hong Kong on our 9-Month Ultimate World Cruise adventure. We tour the Buddhist Nunnery and its gardens. This is an oasis of calm in this very busy and chaotic city. We have tea and take in relaxing site in the city. We the have one of our best sail away experiences through Hong Kong Victoria Harbor.

    The visit I have been anticipating. Lived there in the early 70's and have visited frequently over the past 4+ decades. Thanks for the look in 2024. Looking forward to Taiwan, another place close to my heart.

    Boy , quick Cruise crew response 😅I wonder if that " cargo " ship wasn't notified that Seranade was allowed to go thru that passage ?? SUPER HIGH 5'S TO THE Whole Crew , How scarey too

    Glad you enjoyed your visit. It looks beautiful. Glad you’re all ok from the sudden turn from the ship. Sounds like the crew did great. I am retired Navy and know what it’s like when someone gets
    in the way of your ship.

    I notice that in your videos you tend to spend time with the same group of people.
    Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way but I'd be interested to "meet" them. I feel like we've been traveling with them as well.

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I will talk to them this evening at dinner. We do have a core group of friends. Thank you for the suggestion.

    We had a very similar incident happen in the straits of Gibraltar some years ago……the drawers in our cabin flew open, items on the dressing & bedside table ended on the floor. By all accounts food and plates fell to the floor in the buffet restaurant. We never did find out what happened, however our restaurant waiters said a submarine popped up, 😂😂.
    I’m really enjoying your journey, thank you for sharing. We are on a 2 week cruise starting from Palma, Majorca on Saturday. We are hoping to see some sunshine, the weather has been appealing in the UK.

    • @livingphase2

    • @livingphase2

      When we're all wrapped up, we will have visited approximately 65 countries and over 160 port stops. Thanks for coming along with us on our journey.

      That is true. You will see that in our video on Luanda angola. Beyond that, that's going to be quite the story We Tell in that video, so be sure to catch it. 😉

    Was the 274 days at sea added to your Crown & Anchor status on day 1 of cruise or as you go with your status changing as you go? 🤓

    Great episode! Thanks guys. Is it just overcast in Hong Kong or was that smog? Just curious.

    @dianasmith5912 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Do you mix with the rest of the passengers that are not a part of the World cruise?

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes, we absolutely do mix with them. However, at this point, the world cruisers pretty much know one another, so it’s easier to gravitate towards those that we know. For us, the best part is when someone knew comes up to us and says they’ve watched our videos. And we say sit down and join us for lunch.😀

    Hi! I see that you enjoy food tours and food is included on some excursions. I’m vegetarian. Are there opportunities to have vegetarian meals on excursions and food tours? I want to go but worried that I won’t be able to eat 😊

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  Před 26 dny +1

      Most times they will ask about dietary restrictions. However, there have been a few places where being vegetarian could potentially be a challenge. We often times will take a Cliff bar or some thing with us to eat in our backpack.
