Wow just wow to the boat lady who approached the cruise ship kind of stealthy way and used a butterfly net to deliver beer cans up to your room! Business savvy 😱😆
The trash is so unfortunate and really needs to be taken care of. However, I heard that depending on the weather (monsoon, etc.) it can bring in more trash. But still, they should figure a way to remove the trash at such beautiful locations as it ruins it for me when I'm marveling at mother nature's splendor only for it to be marred by trash everywhere. And for places like Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, and Ha Giang Loop, etc., a drone is a MUST. I thought the drone shots really added to the video. :)
It’s a bummer for sure but certainly not unique to Vietnam unfortunately! I think if we didn’t have a two year old we’d have justified a drone by now, but honestly I already have too many things to keep up with and what feels like no time to set up shots or use a drone. But it sure would be fun and enhance our videos…I agree!
@@StephandPete True...you've got to carry a lot around with a toddler, a drone would be too much. BTW, check out Alright Anton's recent video on Ninh Binh...really beautiful!
Some of Thailand’s beaches have this problems too!!😰 The town councils take care of them everyday. But at some reclusive beaches the expats and Thai local communities join forces to clear up the trashes. Thanks to their solidarity!!🙏🙏👍👍🌈🇹🇭
I loved the part when the lady pulled up beside you on her boat to sell stuff! Lol. My family is from Vietnam, but I live in California and have only been to visit once and hope to see Ha Long Bay next time!!
So entrepreneurial! We got a big kick out of it. Thanks for watching and I hope you get to visit again soon. We’d love to spend more time there. Such a bummer that they only offer 30 day visas.
Hays asking why the about the fishies, Pete should have answered, "Because mommy has very crusty feet!" Hahaha! And he was too cute asking why the fishies splashed you guys.
Thanks, Mina! We appreciate you following along for so long and always commenting. :) And yeah…we can’t get over Hays’s vocabulary lately either! Today we lost a toy car and he told me “maybe it vanished.” 🤣
I love to leave this little moments in because they're exactly what I know we'll enjoy watching back in the future (and that's our number one priority: to document this amazing year for our family.) So it's so nice to hear when others enjoy those moments as well. :) Thanks, Jo!
Another Great video c: I think this was actually one of your better edited videos? It flows really well at least. Sorry I didn't watch right away, I caught covid a few days ago😭 Terrible headache and dizziness at first but im ok now. I've been given medication. It's really funny that you had the drone thing this video because in the last video I recorded before getting covid, I bought a drone! xD I'm really excited to try and get some good footage with it. I want to use it especially around the traditional Korean temples etc because I'm sure they'll look amazing. Great video as always ^~^
Ahhh, so sorry you caught Covid! Hope you're on the mend. I regret not getting a drone earlier in our travels...we've been so many places that would have been cool from that perspective. Can't wait to see what you've captured in Korea. We're toying with coming back in August or so, if we can swing it. We miss it a lot! Thanks for watching! Funny...I thought this one was a bit sloppy as I'm in a hurry to get caught up so I'm not so far behind, because it's so much more fun to release them while we're still in the country and can get feedback, recommendations, etc.
@@StephandPete I'm getting better. The first 24 hours were horrible but honestly the symptoms went mostly pretty fast. hopefully I'll be fully better in a few days. You should have got a drone in Yongsan! I got the brand new DJI mini 3 because it seems like the perfect drone for me, especially when I already use the pocket. Only 1 million KRW in Yongsan (probably alot cheaper than most places). If you do come back, I'd love to see you guys for a few hours somewhere! I would definitely find some fun recommendations for places to visit! perhaps outside of seoul. I still really want to go to that water park in Yesan Splas Resom, and I know kelly wants to go to a water park somewhen too so that'd be alot of fun. I'm sure hayes would love something like that c: Or if we go somewhere where we can use the drone I'll happily share the footage with you if you have a laptop to put it onto or something. I can definitely see the appeal of uploading closer to the time to get peoples feedback and thoughts on things to do while you're in a place. If I had a larger audiance I think I'd be pressured to do the same.
@@StephandPete I'm just a funnin' you as 10 and 11 were very generous to book your trip for a 3-day cruise like that. And they deserve the "palace" as it is an amazing milestone for them. Congrats to them on so many years together and many more to come!
I’m conflicted, I want Steph and Pete to have a drone too…but I also want to watch five minutes of will or won’t the fisherman’s bucket get stuck. Go forward, stylistically compatible ? I don’t know. Oh, and all of sudden, to me, Hays went from baby/toddler to full on little boy.
Certainly not mutually exclusive! Can you imagine if we combined the two? UA-cam stardom! 😂😂😂 I want a drone so bad but know as soon as I purchased one I’d be kicking myself for not having it months ago. Hays has grown soooo much and talks non stop these days. Which is mostly cute. Occasionally very obnoxious if I’m honest. 🙃
more lucky than we was with Pegasus cruise.. The room was tiny, and the food was awful, only seafood, even though we said we didnt like that in advance.. Not even pommes frites was possible to get. The wurst experience i had on my Vietnam trip.. And the water was polluted ! This was september 2022... But you atleast got a bigger boat, and food looks good actually.. Good to see others can enjoy this trip, cause we coulndt.. Still hope less people take these boats, to save the invirement.
@@StephandPete yes, the Foods looked much better in your video. Gress There is different quality on these cruises. Great that you had a good experience!
Got a like from me right off the bat - you traveled with your elderly parents! Planning to do the same next year! Was it difficult for them to climb into and out of transfer boats/tender boats/rowboats? Mine have bad knees...
We travel with them loads! They're both, luckily, fit and healthy so no knee issues, though my mom just had both hips replaced in the last two years. Have fun!!
just wondering if you remember how long the bright and dark cave excursion took if you take the local boats? i get dizzy easily so if it takes longer than kayaking ourselves, might just do kayaking.
Wish bloggers where more honest though. Everything on this trip is kind of overated, i know the view is amazing, but i know there are more than a little plastic at one back that makes this trip bad.. Wish they showed all the nasty seafood etc, and not just the good things from this trip. Warning : Stay away from Pegasus Cruise atleast !!!
I will continue watching your videos. Used to watch the big bloggers, like Kara and Nate, bit if you follow them, everything looks great and taste good. Not the reality i experienced. Your more honest! Loved Hoi An though! Wish we stayed there longer. 😀
Wait, I’m first! 😁 what a perfect way to explore Ha Long Bay!
Hurrah, Gina! 👋
@@StephandPete 👋🏼to you too!
Wow just wow to the boat lady who approached the cruise ship kind of stealthy way and used a butterfly net to deliver beer cans up to your room! Business savvy 😱😆
We thought it was so cool, too! Thanks for watching!
i LOVED the drone footage!! and finally seeing Hays again~ thank you for bringing us on the cruise! :)
Thanks for following along! The next few videos feature plenty of Hays so hope yo see you back here. 🙃

The trash comes all the way from Philippines. If you live in Nha Trang city beach is always full of trash after each storm.
@@thumtlnguyen3626 No matter they come from they are at your door so take care of them.

Thanks for watching!
Amazing cruise! Amazing family!, Congrats on the 39th Anniversary! Hays can speak/articulate his thoughts so well now! Hi from a Korean fan!
Thanks, Mina! We appreciate you following along for so long and always commenting. :) And yeah…we can’t get over Hays’s vocabulary lately either! Today we lost a toy car and he told me “maybe it vanished.” 🤣
10:56 The banter of all animals’ sound between the grandpa and Hays is EPIC!! 🤣🤣❤️❤️👼🏻😍

언제나 활기찬 방송 보기좋습니다 .👍
Thanks for watching! We hope to come back to Korea soon. 🤞
Loved the beers in the net. Hays has clearly inherited a love for monkeys.
Thank God.
We even loved the ones at Batu caves...mostly.
Looked like a scene from a fantasy movie!
There's nowhere like it!
@@StephandPete I'm glad you had the opportunity to do that
Happy 39th anniversary to your beautiful parents they are so sweet ❤. Love the video.
Thank you so much!!
thank you so much
Great video's !!! New here binge watching!
Aw it always blows my mind when people can watch more than one in a row lol. Thanks for being here!
It looked like you guys had so much good times in Vietnam! Enjoy guys!
We had the BEST time. We'd love to go back. The people, the food, the scenery-- it's all so amazing. Thanks for watching.
Ken’s kinda right, that drone shot was amazing!
lol it’s so weird how used to seeing aerials we are these days- it’s like I didn’t fully appreciate the bay until I saw that.
Wow drone is must have item
Beautiful clip
Thanks for always watching! Maybe I'll get one eventually.

Little Hays😘
he’s back! 😂
@@StephandPete 😂👍
Great watch guys, thank you. We are researching this for February 2023. If you were doing it again would you only do 2 nights?? Thanks
Yes absolutely! 2 would be plenty. Enjoy!
Okay, your parent's room was spectacular...then there's yours. LOL! You probably should have shown yours first then your parent's. :)
Ours was lovely too! Just not AS lovely. 🙃
@@StephandPete Yeah, but it's like, "Here's the palace...and here's our shack..." Hahaha!

Chúc mừng gia đình nhỏ có chuyến du lịch vui vẻ thank you
What's the name of the cruise? I'll be going to Vietnam soon. Thanks
Stellar of the Seas! Enjoy!
Phong cảnh rất đẹp và quyến rũ du thuyền rất sang trọng , cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video này +))
hi
Hello! 👋
more lucky than we was with Pegasus cruise.. The room was tiny, and the food was awful, only seafood, even though we said we didnt like that in advance.. Not even pommes frites was possible to get. The wurst experience i had on my Vietnam trip.. And the water was polluted ! This was september 2022... But you atleast got a bigger boat, and food looks good actually.. Good to see others can enjoy this trip, cause we coulndt..
Still hope less people take these boats, to save the invirement.
So sorry you had a bad time. The food on this was decent, but certainly not amazing.
@@StephandPete yes, the Foods looked much better in your video.
Gress There is different quality on these cruises.
Great that you had a good experience!
A little Hays so hilarious… cute!!!
He's a fun travel companion!
TOWIE...what's that...from a Brit lol. I love your content and television choices :)
😂😂 I’ve never actually seen an episode! (TOWIE… I’ve seen plenty of Peppa.) but I AM a huge Love Island fan.
Hi Amazing Vlog. May i know how much did you guys pay for this?
I don’t remember! I advise you to check out their website. Thanks for watching!
How much was this entire stay? I’m considering booking as well and they told me it’s $467 USD/one night for two people…
That sounds about right. It’s really expensive.
Got a like from me right off the bat - you traveled with your elderly parents! Planning to do the same next year! Was it difficult for them to climb into and out of transfer boats/tender boats/rowboats? Mine have bad knees...
We travel with them loads! They're both, luckily, fit and healthy so no knee issues, though my mom just had both hips replaced in the last two years. Have fun!!
just wondering if you remember how long the bright and dark cave excursion took if you take the local boats? i get dizzy easily so if it takes longer than kayaking ourselves, might just do kayaking.
It was definitely shorter. It was super short! Enjoy!
@@StephandPete thx

Again, very sorry your experience wasn't what you expected! I hope you're luckier on future trips. Thanks for watching our video.
I will continue watching your videos. Used to watch the big bloggers, like Kara and Nate, bit if you follow them, everything looks great and taste good.
Not the reality i experienced. Your more honest!
Loved Hoi An though! Wish we stayed there longer. 😀
Elite cruise ships should be adults only sorry
