I work from home and love listening to you ramble on in the background while I toil away. I use the playlist you have. It gives me pleasure hearing you, and it gets your total watch time up. Add a playlist called rambling where it’s your longer videos. ⛱ Keep up the great work!
Hi Emma. The movie is super cool ... you showed all the details of the cabin equipment, but what I liked the most was your reflection in the mirror ... You are a pretty, cool girl❤😊🥰.
That is a really nice cabin! I've never heard of Emerald before. In the U.S. , all the ads I see show 'Viking' River Cruises. I'm sure there are a lot of different lines in Europe. What a fun job you have! I'm jealous! :)
Agree, I'd be interested in finding another good river cruise company. Viking has become not that customer friendly anymore, I've traveled with them on four cruises but lately when I call them to ask about booking another they are not helpful.
@@EmmaCruises I can just imagine. So is it that there is not much activities on river cruises? Also is it that you have to go on excursions to have fun?
@@theresechambers5168 Haha! River cruises are all about the destinations. Definitely should do the excursions. I was surprised about how much was going on onboard, not as much as a ocean cruise though because there's only 100 ish passengers! 😁❤️
Hey! It was amazing. I have a full cruise diary here including my thoughts on everywhere we went and lots of pictures. Hope this is helpful! Thanks for commenting. cruisingisntjustforoldpeople.com/emerald-waterways/
@@Texasbird026 flew KLM. We booked cruise last October and flights were booked through Emerald at basically the same time. I upgraded to Economy Plus on flights over to Europe. Flew economy on way back to states. Would recommend flying plus both ways.
@@pamelawooden6012 Thanks for info. We are debating Economy plus, I guess you are saying it is worth the cost to not be miserable in tiny seat. Did you guys stay extra days on either end. We are thinking about trip insurance did y’all consider it.
I've gone on a mini 'Emma Cruises' marathon this evening (new subscriber). At the end of this video, you said 'Bye' in kind of a high pitched loud voice and I suddenly got self-conscious that the people in the next cabin would be bothered by the sound. But...I'm in my living room, in my house, on land, with no close-by neighbors, lol. I think I need to take a break before I get sea sick!
brought back some good memories, we were on the inaugural cruise of the liberte and enjoyed it, including the bridge contact incident. emerald should redesign the bathroom layout and move the door from beside the bed to the hall by the cabin entry door, otherwise a great ship and an even better crew.
Wow. I am starting to watch your old videos. Loved the intro in front of the mirror. Your husband is a very lucky guy. You are beautiful. What I really like is your voice. It would be good to see you vlog more. You are talented and I think an extension to cruising could general travel and excursions. Thanks for your content and hard work. Big love Rob.
Very interesting vid Emma. We are going to do at least one river cruise in 2024 and will choose either Scenic or Emerald - same company but Emerald is the cheap version. Have you been on Scenic?
I will need an iron and iron board, these are missing from the room. I think they also provide a pair of hiking post and an umbrella in each stateroom. Suggest to include electronic GPS with guide tour information to an app. Just my 2 cents to the cruise line. ❤❤❤
Emma, have you cruised on Avalon? The Avalon Panorama Suite puts the Emerald cabin to shame. Avalon’s cabin is 200 square feet vs Emerald’s 180. On Avalon’s French balcony, the entire glass wall opens up, not just a partial window. And… the bed faces the window! It’s really a stretch to call that space a “balcony” just because you can open a window. Love your videos!
Hi Emma. I enjoyed this video...thumbs up! Was there a storage space under the bed for your luggage/suitcases? Prior to the pandemic, we travelled on Emerald Harmony on the Mekong and we had this type of storage for our luggage.
Ship is fantastic. Room is more then adequate. Would love to spend 2 weeks on the danube/rhine with Emerald but my wife speak only french. We are from quebec. We will have to go with croisieurope to get all services and excursions in french.
Very nice! One question about the shower door: I'm a little bit wider and my concern would be to being able to close the door from the inside. Was it tight or can it be opened both sides?
Hey! It was okay for me but you do have to stand right in the corner to close the door. I'm sure it would be fine but maybe just not the most comfy for a few seconds. I always expected river ships to be small though. Thanks for commenting 😁👍🏼
Oo! I really don't think it makes much difference on this ship. On older ships maybe but this one is new and pretty quiet all over. I'd say go for it 😁
Be absolutely sure that your voice and your face are displayed at all times. You obviously think this is more interesting than the good informative video about the ship.
It would be an odd youbube review without her voice and I like to see who is doing a video rather than just ghost hands and music, it makes it much more interesting.
@@JulieWallis1963 i nevwr said it's not clever right? I sais it's not a balcony. A clever way, yes. But on a balcony i sit directly outside, sun above me, with room for two chairs perhaps.

That cabin slash balcony is sooo amazing:-)
It’s so snazzy!! Best use of the space for sure 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She is so adorably honest. Love it

Add a playlist called rambling where it’s your longer videos. ⛱
Keep up the great work!
Needs a makeup mirror! I must have a makeup mirror……….hopefully that could be arranged once you are on board. Love your videos, keep them coming.
Thanks for a most helpful video !!
When we go on our first river cruise I will definitely be looking into this cruise line based on this video. Love how thorough your videos are.
I appreciate that thank you! 😀💕
Nice cabin tour, I have wanted to do a river cruise for the longest time.
Hey Henry! Thanks for your comment 😁❤️
What a great view, you can just lie in bed and enjoy the view!
Yes! We did. 😁💕
Great video. Wonderful way to see inside an Emerald before booking a trip. Thanks.
Thank you for your lovely comment 😁💕
I've been looking at cruises on the Mississippi river. After seeing this I may book one. Thank you!
Have a great time.
Or if you are already back, did you have a good time.
Hi Emma. The movie is super cool ... you showed all the details of the cabin equipment, but what I liked the most was your reflection in the mirror ... You are a pretty, cool girl❤😊🥰.
Hahah! Thank you! 😁❤️
That cabin is beautiful! Never been on a river cruise, but thanks to you I want to give it a try.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

Yesss soooooooooo many asides from Viking! 😀
Emerald is the budget line belonging to the Australian Scenic cruise line. I prefer Scenic but Emerald looks good too.
Sweet window! so cool!
Love the video, very informative but relaxed style
Thank you! 😁❤️
I can't get pass that sweet large comfy looking bed. So kool
Haha! The excursions always started at 9 or 9.30 and being out of bed at that time was such a struggle when the bed was so comfy!! Haha... 😂❤️

We are doing a cruise in late September with Emerald. So excited to go! This video has really gotten me anxious!
How was your experience?
@@Texasbird026 it was great! Really comfortable with very nice staff that took great care of us! Highly recommend!!
@@pamelawooden6012 Who did you fly with and how far in advance did you book? Did you fly economy or economy premium?

Loved the pool area. So relaxing
Yea! The best 😁💕
Love your videos! Loads and loads of great content!
Thank you! 😁❤️
Love this cabin particularly the safe. Bathroom great too!
YEP! You can definitely tell how new the ship is. Nothing is out of place at all. So so comfy! 😁❤️

Great vid from you as always
Thank you! 😁❤️
Yes, they are washclothes. Nice head (bathroom). Looks like a smaller version of an upscale hotel bathroom.
Wow, what a hair dryer!
Very interesting vid Emma. We are going to do at least one river cruise in 2024 and will choose either Scenic or Emerald - same company but Emerald is the cheap version. Have you been on Scenic?

Oooo! That's interesting. I'd love to do another one day 😋❤️
@@EmmaCruises We're just waiting for our house to be sold. then we'll organise that magnificent cruise on croisieurope ship.
Hi do they have a place to store your suitcases in your room? It looks like you can't put it under the bed..
Very nice!
One question about the shower door: I'm a little bit wider and my concern would be to being able to close the door from the inside. Was it tight or can it be opened both sides?

I have a quick question. Do you take more clothes on a river cruise or is there a laundry on board?
Sometimes they have little laundries but it depends on the cruise line 😊❤️
Very helpful video - confirmed that cruise 🚢 is not for me
Which is good! Now you know 😀👏🏼
How loud would 340 (just next to pool door) be, do you think? Only one left on my preferred date.
Oo! I really don't think it makes much difference on this ship. On older ships maybe but this one is new and pretty quiet all over. I'd say go for it 😁
Where do you store your travel luggage?
Very cool! :)
I do hope you never stop commenting on my videos because I refresh and look for it 🤣❤️
I just subscribed. You've made me want to go on a cruise, Alaska though. LOL
Haha! Sounds good 😀
@@EmmaCruises Been most everywhere, but never Alaska. I don't really want to be on a ship with thousands of people.
You have just sold me a cabin, hope your on a commission !
I wish 😂😂😂
I see it suffers a bit like most ships with no outlet beside the bed.
I agree don, love your Chanel too!
There are outlets besides the bed! I show at the end of the video 😉❤️
Don's Family Vacations heaps of outlets next to the pop up mirror also.
Plenty of outlets.
They are great rooms. And a top ship
Can you include the prices in your videos
Your husband, does he ever cruise with you? You keep bringing him up but, we never see him.
Do you have cheap internet on river cruises?
Most ships do have Wi-Fi but in my experience the local 4g is usually better 😀❤️
Emma are there curtains or blinds for windows???? For privacy
You just answered..thanks
Still wearing my slippers. 😂
I bought them home too! 😂💕
Loads and loads..
Still metal walls that magnets stick to
😁💕
Emma you havn't travelled with my wife there is no such thing as loads more wardrobe space than you need.
😂😂😂
Shower in Emerald Radiance was better
Haha! How so?
the other striped dress is better
Another non comment comment
I love it 🤣🤣🤣

@@Nick_G7IZR Then I can only wish you good fun. It is very little pro but focused on her and her face
@@Nick_G7IZR most Europeans can and we do it
That is not a balcony, it's a big window... A fine cabin, really, but not a balcony!
I thought it was a clever use of the space. But I get that RUclips has more than it’s share of haters.
@@JulieWallis1963 i nevwr said it's not clever right? I sais it's not a balcony. A clever way, yes. But on a balcony i sit directly outside, sun above me, with room for two chairs perhaps.
The cruise lines use the term French or Juliet Balcony which while not entirely accurate architecturally speaking does come close.😊
