There were some really strange boats in the harbor. This one had what looked like dozens of pots hanging from the top.

There were some very modern and expensive boats as well. They made quiet a contrast.

But most of them were just plain undecipherable

Two of the floating restaurants in Aberdeen harbor.

The Tai Pak floating restaurant

And the Jumbo Floating Restaurant - purportedly the largest floating restaurant in the world. It is one of Hong Kong's "must see" tourist attractions. It can seat up to 2.000 people and has hosted celebrities from around the world - including royalty from England and stars from Hollywood - such as John Wayne, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Cruise, et. al.

A final view of Hong Kong before we spend our last night aboard.

As we were admiring the sights the "Genting Dream" sailed into the harbor. It was a beautiful looking ship and had its maiden voyage in November of last year. It is home ported in Singapore and is the 15th largest cruise ship but at 150,000 tons is significantly smaller than some of RCL's and NCL's biggest ships. Still it looked pretty big to us.

You really outdid yourself this time, Sailor Jack. Not only was your review outstanding as always, your photo review afterwards was incredible. I've been following along from the beginning and have enjoyed every minute. But what's this about "my last Sailor Jack review"? Say it ain't so.

Glad you enjoyed the trip as much as I did.

Great photos as always!

But what do you mean "My last Sailor Jack review"? :eek::(

 

As I said, this will be my last review - at least on CC. Thanks for following along.

NO!! Is it Jill? (Jack, you know she was worth more than 6 goats!)

 

All kidding aside, so sorry to hear this. Your reviews have brought great joy and laughter for so many of us. Thank you so much. Hope you, Jill, and Alexis are all well, and enjoy a lovely holiday season!

Is this a result of what Cruise Critic did to you?

 

Yes.

Yes.

 

 

I heard about that...sorry. Any chance you will post on another website? I know your first ones were not on CC. I was looking forward to your Princess review next month.:(

 

Thanks...water under the bridge now - that person is no longer with CC. I always do a review of a cruise, but sometimes post on a different website. Just not on CC anymore.

 

Happy New Year!:D
