      REPALY you both will love. US River cruises. Heat is awful in south end. So Spring or Late Fall for. Mississippi cruise. Emma maybe you and your family could do a fall Great Lakes and then hop. On southbound Mississippi pricey to do both for you but may be worth one airfare

    To Viewer Christy Murphy’s question, the smaller Royal Caribbean ships are the four remaining Vision Class ships. One of them, Rhapsody of the Seas, is sailing a transatlantic, from Miami to Rome, next May 10th. I just booked it partly because the ship is beautiful, and looks like a traditional cruise ship. Unlike the larger ships, it doesn’t have the amusement park, but does have a enclosed Solarium and the videos on RUclips look amazing! Thank you Emma and Gary for a great video.

    15:43 Viking Venus DOES do a British menu as part of their destination menu in The Restaurant. (Just disembarked from their British Isles Cruise 2 wks ago.) It was also at Chef's Table on days 1-3 as we embarked in London (Tilbury). They rotate menus every 3 days.

    Enjoyed this chat greatly and appreciated the blending of the different approaches to cruising by both of you in the discussion. I actually discovered Emma's channel through watching Gary's initially and getting a recommendation for yours. Glad to see the two of you come full circle so to speak. I would like to know more about German cruises having lived in Berlin for a while, but my German friends are staunchly against cruising! We enjoy sailing together and that is quite nice I must admit. They think I'm crazy for enjoying cruises so much. I can enjoy both 😊

    Hi Emma. My husband and I have done many cruises mostly Carnival and Celebrity. We are very easy to please but our least favorite was Costa. We were really surprised that we found the quality to be less than compared to the others. Biggest differences are that the buffet was only open for a short time and if you missed it you were stuck paying for food. Also, we were really surprised that we had to pay for regular water on the cruise ship. We now understand why so many of the people at the cruise port were bringing cases of water on. We loved the itinerary but that Costa cruise was a lesson to us that NOT all cruise companies are the same. It was a relief to hear that Carnival has bought Costa...maybe we may consider it again if there were changes.

    The American Steamship Company does River cruises. I went on one down the Mississippi river (from Memphis to New Orleans). It was lovely. The food was out of this world. This company now does river cruises in the NW USA (Washington state). Price is a lot higher than ocean cruises, but it's a lovely change. I think it held less than 400 people.

    Hi Emma, I really enjoy your videos! Our next cruise is a Christmas Enchanted Princess cruise rescheduled due to pandemic. I have been on many cruises but I am never really excited about Princess dinner menus. They don't seem to have changed in 20 plus years. What do you know about frequency of new menus? Holland America has fabulous menus, but I've only been on them twice. Celebrity has very good options but I haven't been on one for 10 plus years. Also-Is Celebrity still more catered to seniors? I have lots of other questions but I'll ask another time.

    I'm convinced that a cruise can't be ruined by a problem with the cabin. It's RUINED by choosing to spend the entire time being angry. Fix what you can and accept what you can't. If you MUST be angry leave it till after your trip is over but if you accept it, it might just be a funny little horror story you tell at a cocktail party as an aside to discussing your otherwise amazing trip.

    Hi Emma, I'm due to go on Disney later this month from the Uk, we are both double jabbed, little bit confused as I thought the testing was done at the port. The check-in process is very different to other lines we have cruised with during this time. It asked us to upload vaccine status and order tests, which cost lots, I don't think I need to order these, any ideas, due to sail end of Spetember.

    • @EmmaCruises

      Hey Michael, I stopped it. There isn't as much news as there was before and every week it was getting less and less worth me doing the updates (to the point where I wouldn't gain any subscribers, I'd lose them!) :')

    Did I hear him say “I have no insurance”? How does he cruise then? You have to have insurance to get on a cruise ship.

      What I heard him say is “THEY have no insurance.” Presumably he was referring to the two-week quarantine in Uruguay not being covered by insurance.
