** A little explainer about the 'paid promotion' popup box - KZbin 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 Saga which means that they paid my cruise fare, I'm never paid beyond this but the gifted cruise fair 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 >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ3Tm5h3gs-GZsU

@Emma Cruises Getting on the ship on a river cruise just plain sucks. It seems its the same for the majority of river cruise lines. I have traveled on Vantage River cruises about 7 times. You get there, and wait, they try and keep you occupied but you are tired. I guess people are disembarking all day long and aren’t required to get out of their cabins, really until noon. I was just on a Seine river cruise before covid and we had to wait until 4pm to get into our cabin. We we allowed to sit in the lounge until 4, but we were there for about 5 hours. We did some walking around but i didn’t want to carry my carry on luggage with me and there was no place to put it securely. Next river cruise i will go a day or so early, stay in a hotel, and then even if I have to wait to get on i won’t be as “Nackered” (sp) as just getting off a bit flight all the way from the USA. Once you get in your cabin, all is good, its just that fatiguing wait that is maddening!!

It was called a French Balcony on our river cruise ship and frankly, I prefer it to a regular balcony, because then, the cabin size becomes smaller.

Since the pool is sunk into the ship allowing for the top deck to fold down for bridges and such, is the space under the pool closed-off or a weird half-deck scenario like you see on some ships with slightly higher roofs on some areas? I’m guessing it’s just closed off, but I’m curious nonetheless. Have a great day! (:
@EmmaCruises3 жыл бұрын
Yeah it’d be in the roof of the lower deck, kinda. The pool isn’t usually deep 😀💕

Many of the interior spaces seemed either incredibly drab or unnecessarily bland. (Ofcourse, I just watched your Virgin Cruise Lines review prior to this one, so it could just be the shock of going from one extreme to another).

Aren't you supposed to be 50 years old to sail a Saga cruise, or from 40 upwards as a guest for a 50yr old person? You do look somewhat younger one thinks.
