7 Days on a Luxury River Cruise: An Inside Look at The Reality

Fun fact: Once humidity hits 100%, water will not evaporate into the air anymore (at least not easily), so sweating won't cool you off (it's the evaporating sweat that carries heat away) plus you'll mostly stay sweaty even if you rest.

[@EmmaCruises]

Oo, so good to know! It did feel like that 😂😂😂😂

[@CLTGeek]

Here in the US south, North Carolina in my case, we call anything over 80% humidity "air you can wear".

re the padded walls... when we stayed in a posh hotel in Venice the walls there were also covered in stretched fabric "wallpaper" held about 1/4" the actual wall... I think this may be a Venice area thing designed to reduce condensation of damp air on cool walls.

I live in the Dutch city of Dordrecht, which is a fairly popular stop for river cruises nowadays. On my evening walks I like to gaze through the windows of the ships to get a sense of what life is like on board. But your excellent, in depth video is what my curiosity really needed. So, thank you Emma!

[@ghostgirl6970]

Yes, when I moved from California to New York I adjusted to the winter pretty quickly but my god, the HUMIDITY. Ufff. Growing up, my dad who was stationed on Saipan in the Coast Guard, would always say "At least it's a DRY heat" and I didn't understand until experiencing humidity. I could never survive in the south lol.

[@KrisKk08]

Did we ask about California? Americans always oversharing some tidbit about their state when the video has zero to do with California. And every other KZbin commenter not living in the USA (even those in the UK and Australia) will mention country first, Americans assume the entire world knows their states. Thankfully it’s California not South Dakota. SMH I guess I should be happy you didn’t use abbreviations so thank you!

[@LL-lv8ke]

@@KrisKk08 Emma mentioned that she met some Californians in this video who were struggling with the humidity too. That's why I mentioned it, just trying to engage. I didn't mention the country as neither did Emma. Again, just engaging in a discourse.

I took the Venetian cruise in early August 2023 when it was indeed a warm summer, and I have travelled on Uniworld previously. La Venetzia was definitely my favourite. Beautifully done and after being at “duck level” on the Rhine from Basel to Amsterdam cruise, I chose never to book that level again…too short to see out the higher windows! The level above yours , Emma, gave me a large window to view the Guidecca Canal. I was fortunate not to face the customs building on the other side of the ship. I loved the excursions and learning about the history and culture from Louisa, our tour guide. It was my second visit to Venice, so I knew what I wanted to see . After the tour on the last day of the Mask Ateliers work shop, I had a private tour on the Grand Canal for an hour. An absolute treat! This was one of my most enjoyable experiences with Uniworld. I was able to take advantage of a solo rate, and booked just a couple of months prior. Because I was right on the water, not only was my view any time of the day very interesting but the heat was not very overwhelming. I would not hesitate to recommend this ‘floating hotel’ experience. As a 73 year old from western Canada, this was so enjoyable.

[@jolene54]

As usual, incredible editing 👏 and very enjoyable vlog. That's luxury.

[@EmmaCruises]

[@DDGLJ]

Hi Emma- nice review. We sailed with Uniworld on the Danube- booked a suite so our young adult son could be in the same room- they offered him an empty cabin for free when they saw how tall he was but he rather liked the Nespresso machine in the suite…. We had a butler who brought us breakfast every day, did our laundry and my brought up husband’s favorite bourbon in a crystal decanter… he drank very little of it. It was very nice, very over-the-top. In the end, we felt we could get higher-quality tours on our own, and didn’t really like the lounge-type entertainment, and didn’t take much advantage of the free booze. I thought it was a nice fun, high-end party boat. Viking is probably more our cup of tea. I also agree the bike tour took a degree of skill and energy. There were some avid cyclists who weren’t kind to the less skilled… so I’d steer clear of that unless I was fairly good.

ooo, I’ve not tried Viking yet! Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

Having worked in a pizza shop with no sit down area, the 100% humidity would have had the pizza kitchen crew boiled. Pizza ovens usually run at 500° fahrenheit. Even with ventilation running full tilt, they would have cooked themselves!

Hi Emma, Glad to see you took a Uniworld cruise. I have taken 9 river cruises, 4 of them on Uniworld. As a matter of fact my first Uniworld cruise from Vienna to Bucharest was on the same ship you were on, The River Countess back then. I thought I heard you say that the ship you were on was there for decades but that couldn't be as my cruise was in 2010. Please excuse me if I heard you wrong.

Hey Emma. Have never sailed a river cruise. Oh my. You really have a water view. Was that noisy? The cabins look regal. Emma you have 🍪 radar 😂. Don’t know if I’ve ever experienced 100% humidity. That must’ve been uncomfortable indeed. Only 5 ppl left on the ship. Nice they could prepare meals accordingly. Oh a laundry. Nice. An unused speciality restaurant? Like that they emailed you with nightly themes. 5 o’clock too early for us. 7pm dinner is perfect. Oh yes. Great bread 🥖 and 🧈 makes a difference. A cycling excursion is different. Oh E bikes 🚲. So $5200/person. It’s like paying upfront for the drinks and excursions. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully soon we’ll try. My husband is interested in a river cruise.

[@PhyllisDavis-r7l]

Emma. I have hosted Travel for senior citizens for about 11 years. River cruises are very popular because they are EASY🎶‼️👍. I have to comment that the decor of those rooms are like nothing I have ever seen. What a treat. Now that we are retirement age I will be looking for UNIWORLD. your posts are always welcome and very well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎉🎉💗🎶‼️

[@Toobula]

Hi Emma! First, your fashions were terrific. The "featured" dress (blue palm leaves) is terrific and you look great in a shorter dress. I also loved the long one with stretch bodice, and I wanted to see the front of the pink (fuschia?) dress that we saw from behind at the rail. Also loved the black and white stripey dress. I think you should wear more jewelry around your neck. Nothing gaudy but a simple amulet on a chain or a light necklace would add a lot. ANYWAY, the cruise looks great. We need to get you dancing! I might have gone up one deck with the cabin because on a cruise like this, the view is the thing. I noticed, though, that you spent a lot of time up on deck, and those deck couches looked VERY comfortable, so I'm sure you took in the views. Loved the Venetian decor. I might have to put his one on my list!

[@tracytroutman7188]

I would love to do a river cruise someday, but they seem so expensive. The ease of just getting off the ship and walking around a new city sounds amazing.

[@jeffsmithist]

Did an Ama Waterways river cruise. River cruising just not much fun. I’m 70 and it was just boring. Itinerary was full sit down breakfast , followed by a tour in either the no walkers, slow walkers, walkers and active walkers. Come back and again a full sit down lunch, another tour and a two hour dinner and then nothing. Most of your time is just spent sitting in the dining room. If you are an active person move on

Out of curiosity, how was the noise in your room when other ships would pass? I found the lower cabins on my recent river cruise had much more noise when other ships would pass, and wondered if that was the same everywhere...?

[@EmmaCruises]

Hmm, in Venice we were always parked so I had a view of the wall and in the other places we didn't really have any traffic, so can't say I ever noticed any noise from passing ships. :-)

[@GrammaTink615]

We’ve been on a couple of cruises with ACL - Mississippi River and Chesapeake Bay. I like that there a re shore excursion included but also included is all the alcohol you can drink and we don’t. Maybe one a day but not near what all the other passengers were consuming. They don’t offer an alcohol free price so we stopped cruising with them. One other reason is that the dining room offerings were less than appealing so we ended up using the back porch grill most of the time. Breakfast was always good but it seems like they felt the need to go fancy with every dinner menu. No thank you - not for what they charge.

I believe river cruises are similar to sea cruises, in that a solo traveler is most likely paying the same price as 2 people would pay... given that, I'm inclined to say let them sit wherever they want (when it can be accommodated, ofc). 😅 I personally would feel quite awkward at a table that large by myself, but as a 20yr service industry veteran, I have different thoughts than most, and can testify that her request is not unusual
