I’m so happy for you on your cruise to Sweden. The crawfish party looks amazing. I hope to enjoy on our next cruise too. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
Just this short video made me want to put Sweden on my travel list. Discovering new traditions, cultures and sampling local cuisine is what makes traveling so appealing. Being with family makes it even better. You guys are an inspiration. Fingers crossed it will be soon.
Thanks for the update, hope you guys sail soon! ❤🙏🚢 The crayfish party looked awesome and loved the rest of your travels to Stockholm, I'm glad you two are having fun still traveling while you wait.❤
People do not understand construction. Especially construction of this kind with it being in its own category. Start up’s are not quick & expected. Good for you guys for hanging in there. Here’s a quote- “What if I fall? But darling, what if you fly?”
Great video ...Beautiful Places ... Love the singing at the table .. something cultural instead of people being on their phones lol The Ice cream is the best ! So she will sleeping the next 15yrs away lol lol Enjoy !
Fantastic! I love Sweden and I'm looking forward to future visits. The Crayfish party looks like great fun. Any excuse to meet with friends and eat and drink is always good.
I love any excuse to gather with family and friends for good food and drinks. The crawfish party looks like a lot of fun. Hope to get to Sweden one of these days as I have a lot of Swedish ancestors. Until you are able to set sail on Odessey keep finding adventures to enjoy.
Yeah, most people don’t know about that. I love eating crawfish both the Swedish way and southern style. Very different tasting but both very delicious.
I get that they say that they're doing their best but I'd start getting mad when ports get removed from the itinerary. But I'm glad you were still able visit your home land.
The ship will circumnavigate the whole world in 3-1/2 years, and those places won’t be stops just for the first trip around, so they can “catch up” to the season’s itinerary. The next time around I’m sure they will stop at those places. So all is not lost.
@@gerriebell2128Unless they go bankrupt and never sail or run out of money a few months into the journey. This company claimed that they would be ready to sail over three months ago, which is beyond incompetence. That's flat out lying
Akvavit is a must with 🦐. My Morfar and Mormor lived on Utö which I visited many times from my home in Vancouver 🇨🇦. Thank you for posting. Haven't been back to 🇸🇪 since '84.
My hubby loves crawfish! Isleton, CA held them every year (maybe still does?) and we always attended…big ol’ party! Thanks for talking us sightseeing with you.
I am shocked to see that you have crawfish in Sweden! I live in Louisiana, USA where they have crawfish season and lots of crawfish parties. I only like them fried. Sue hope y’all get to sail soon and everything goes well on the seas.
I think this is a most lovely video of your Swedish travels. It looks Devine. The crawfish party was so nice and everyone happy. I so loved seeing the ice cream you both got as well as the journey on the ship/ferry to your next destination. It’s a beautiful change from Belfast. I think the weather is better also. It’s so lovely to see different countries. Stay safe and have fun. 🙏💖💖🍀🌠🇨🇦
@@livinglifeonacruise It was beautiful. When your husband said a Crayfish Party I thought you were going to the beach to have a cook up on the beach !!! Silly me. Your videos are great. Life is for the living, only way to keep happy. 😄
Good call going back to Sweden to party with your friends. I think I prefer the crawfish boil we did at your house on Maui a few years back...the parts I can remember anyway
Thanks for the Update, would love to visit Sweden. Been following yourselves and others on this Journey. Hope your Sailing soon, your Patience is to be commended.
It’s not like we’ve been stranded during these delays. We have traveled quite extensively and been enjoying ourselves. But of course we’re really looking forward to actually sailing. Welcome aboard!
Love watching the updates. I think the channel would definitely benefit from some off phone mics. With phones video is good but audio is pretty poor unless you are talking right beside the built in mic.
Looks like you had a great time, how nice! I thought crawfish came from the south (USA), didn't know they had them in Sweden, too. What is the meaning of the hand gesture you keep flashing?
The Swedish crawfish parties are a long-standing tradition here. But I also really enjoy southern style crawfish boils. The gesture we’re making is the Hawaiian Shaka 🤙. I just moved From Maui after 25 years to do this cruise. So I guess I’m a Swedish Hawaiian. 🤣
I hope you’ll add video of the area there. This must be where you grew up? Interesting, I’m looking forward to your adventure, it’s gotta start sometime and then all the waiting will be behind you. Patti
I wish this boat would hurry up and be ready! Realistically, how long are you looking at now? Have they given you any estimates? Are you allowed to sleep onboard yet? Hope your enjoying your trip in the meantime.
@@livinglifeonacruise Midweek next week?! Thats sooner than I expected! So can't be much longer till you get the go-ahead to sleep there. I was thinking, oh well, at least they should have left before the holiday season starts. Halloween, Christmas and New Year is going to be so much fun for you guys! You've got to organise some pumpkin carving! Oh! and cabin door decorating contests for christmas!
That’s awesome that you were able to go back home. Maybe it was meant for y’all not to be onboard yet to see your people before you set sail for a longer time.
We’ve been planning all along to visit Sweden but never had a long enough window. So this time we just took a chance and went for it when they decided to send people to Liverpool.
Thanks for sharing this newsworthy information. Nice to see such a happy couple. My wife and I love your accent. Are accent sounds like rubbish coming from Ny Sad, I know. 😅
I put in the ships name and the Co-ordinates came back as North East Atlantic. I then hoped it was doing trials, because that would put it out of Belfast an up Guess not hey ?
I noticed you guys said that you went to Sweden because it was taken off the itinerary. Are you not on the ship for more than 3 and a 1/2 years up to 15 years?
My concern is government's, there are a hellish amount of rules and regulations concerning maritime law between countries, and basically government's hate this kind of thing with people travelling around constantly, they like people to live in a stationary environment and I can easily see government's doing everything in their power to stop this venture ever getting underway
@@rebeccahowell6538 your missing my point those people you're talking about are on holiday, these people are not on holiday they have chosen this as a way of life, and I promise you the UK Government for one and the US Government for another do not like this type of thing and will do anything they can to avoid giving it the green light, they don't like things they can't control or police and floating cities will threaten them to the core trust me it's all about money and power they don't like people controlling themselves
I have never thought of it that way. But we still have a US address and intend to pay our taxes there. We’re still American citizens and intend to keep it that way.
You must have complete faith this is going to happen or you are living in a deluded dreamland? I am an Aussie and honestly we would not be so trusting and patient we would think something very fishy going on and it not crawfish party, Honestly is sounds really ideal Ali and hope that it sails soon, all the best do you have a backup plan or insurance or home to goo just in case
We’re making most of the situation we’re in. There’s always a risk of serious hiccups when getting involved with startups. Of course we hope to sail soon. But if we don’t we will just continue traveling.
I think people are perfectly justified in having a negative opinion about the company running this debacle. They have not really delivered on anything that was promised and haven't earned sny amount of trust. I certainly wouldn't trust them to sail me around the world multiple times for many years. You really need to have a viable backup plan in case they decide to suddenly cease operations somewhere in Africa and leave you stranded. Way too much uncertainty for me
You’re right, everyone is entitled to their opinion. It’s always a risk being involved with any startup company. We believe in the vision of this team. The delays are of course unfortunate. Thanks for watching!
He left Life at Sea when he realized he could not trust Miray. We had a deposit with them that was returned at the same time. I have seen this video before, that lawyer has no facts right whatsoever. He solidifies the reason that trade has such a bad reputation.
I’m so happy for you on your cruise to Sweden. The crawfish party looks amazing. I hope to enjoy on our next cruise too. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
It sure is a great, fun and interesting experience!
Fun to see a bit of Sweden and your traditions.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Very fun seeing some traditional Swedish foods, occasions, drinks! Really enjoyed seeing this! - Michelle
Glad you enjoyed it!
The crawfish party was charming!! Definitely not corny. I love learning about traditions in other countries. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I agree, hate the wife called it corny 😟
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

You should visit, it’s a beautiful country with great history and interesting traditions, and good food.
I'm looking forward to your amazing life on board your home. Great video, family together is always great!
Thank you so much, it sure is!
Thanks for the update, hope you guys sail soon! ❤🙏🚢 The crayfish party looked awesome and loved the rest of your travels to Stockholm, I'm glad you two are having fun still traveling while you wait.❤
Our pleasure, thanks for watching!
Would love to learn more about those fun cultural activities like the crawfish party!
Us too!
Happy to see your spirits are still good and hoping you will be sailing soon. Will be waiting and watching. : )
We hope so too, welcome aboard!
Thanks for update and even more for showing us Swedish culture. Really appreciate it!
Our pleasure!

Great words of wisdom, thank you!
Lovely to see some of your heritage with the crawfish party. It looks like a lot of fun. Your friends have a beautiful home!
I agree and they’re beautiful people too!
I'm living vicariously thru you guys!! Thanks for sharing.
Great, Thanks for watching!
Ooo .. beautiful place! Love seeing the crawfish party. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Your accent is coming out more you’re in Sweden Johan ❤ Jag älskar Sverige 🇸🇪
I guess it does 🤣, I’m switching languages nonstop right now.
Great video ...Beautiful Places ... Love the singing at the table .. something cultural instead of people being on their phones lol
The Ice cream is the best ! So she will sleeping the next 15yrs away lol lol Enjoy !
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your latest adventure in Sweden and thanks for the update on Villa V saga!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Indeed, we had a blast!

Mycket bra. Jag älskar Sverige. Jag har lärt mig språket det senaste året och hoppas kunna besöka det snart.
Du pratar bra svenska, bra gjort!
I love a good crawfish boil… but never thought of them and Sweden. Enjoy and good luck
Yeah, most people don’t know about that. I love eating crawfish both the Swedish way and southern style. Very different tasting but both very delicious.
I am so going to love following your adventures, Good luck from the land down under xxx
Thanks mate!

@@rebeccahowell6538 True but Iceland also got canceled. How many more will get axed?

Looked like a fun time glad you got to visit your family home again!
It was, thanks for watching!
Love the crawfish party! Looked great! Makes me want to host a dinner here! Just have to get this cabin closed in first 😂
You should, miss you guys!

Isn’t it cool , same old mudbug. Just cooked differently. I love Louisiana style as well. Thanks for watching!

That was a great party right on the waterfront. It must’ve been at least 15 years ago.
What a nice episode, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can’t imagine all the great food! If I ever buy a segment I will only pack stretchy clothes.😂
🤣
Glad you got to Sweden to visit family. Hope you can get to set sail soon. 👋🏻 from 🇨🇦
I hope so too!
Fun! I am Swedish too! I’d love to visit there someday
You should, it’s a beautiful country.

Thanks for your input and I agree with you. We’ve tried several different microphones but none have worked well. I’m in search of one as we speak.

Yes, soon. I just have to wait for the rain to stop☔️ and yes it’s where I grew up!
We loved Sweden! Started a cruise in Stockholm
Awesome, the archipelago outside Stockholm is magnificent!
Crawfish party was fun to watch! What beverages were all you guys drinking and toasting with?
It was beer, wine and different kinds of akvavit.
I really hope it all works out for you. I cannot believe the incompetence of the company, I have never heard anything like it. I hope you are insured.
We have several different insurances. As you know we love to travel so that’s what we’ve been doing during these delays.
I wish this boat would hurry up and be ready! Realistically, how long are you looking at now? Have they given you any estimates? Are you allowed to sleep onboard yet? Hope your enjoying your trip in the meantime.
We just posted a short update. We’re not allowed to sleep on the ship yet. They’re shooting for midweek as launch date.
@@livinglifeonacruise Midweek next week?! Thats sooner than I expected! So can't be much longer till you get the go-ahead to sleep there.

Hello! Johan, are you friend with the Swedish CEO of the Villa recidence?
Not previously, but we’ve had some good times together the last couple of months.
Always wanted to visit Sweden
It’s a beautiful country!

Kind of sad that his wife called the fun, pleasant crawfish boil with his family "Corny". It looked very cheerful and happy .
She did have a great time though, it’s just so different. Which I love. Thanks for watching!
Corny can also be fun .
How do you feel about showing the proper(1) way to eat crawfish? Safe travels!
You’re right I should’ve done that but we were too busy eating. It was too good!
I put in the ships name and the Co-ordinates came back as North East Atlantic.
I then hoped it was doing trials, because that would put it out of Belfast an up
Guess not hey ?
It’s still docked in Belfast and sea trials should commence sometime this coming week.
I noticed you guys said that you went to Sweden because it was taken off the itinerary.
Are you not on the ship for more than 3 and a 1/2 years up to 15 years?
Yes we are. I just wanted to see my parents and friends since we were so close.
My wife is irish, and l am polish.
Right there you have some great traditions and interesting history. Thanks for watching!
Sweden is awesome. Enjoy.
It really is!
