** A little explainer about the 'paid promotion' popup box - KZread defines paid promotion as 'accepting anything of value from a third party to make your video'. As mentioned in the video I was invited onboard by Emerald Waterways which means that they paid my cruise fare, I'm never paid beyond this but the gifted cruise fare means I need to tick this box. All opinions are my own and no cruise line has control over my content. ** 🎉🎉 If you are curious about how I make money (selling cruises, website adverts, sales of my course, etc), check out this video >> kzread.info/dash/bejne/laCkzMd6fc25YMY.html

Have a great time. Or if you are already back, did you have a good time.

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!

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.

Great video. Wonderful way to see inside an Emerald before booking a trip. Thanks.

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.

I'm really surprised and impressed! Would love to know what you thought of your destinations as well.

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!

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!

We are doing a cruise in late September with Emerald. So excited to go! This video has really gotten me anxious!

Hi do they have a place to store your suitcases in your room? It looks like you can't put it under the bed..

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.

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?

@EmmaCruises

5 жыл бұрын

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 😁👍🏼

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.

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. ❤❤❤

How loud would 340 (just next to pool door) be, do you think? Only one left on my preferred date.
