** 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

Hi Emma, I am seeing this as a preview and really enjoyed it. I have done Viking River cruises and they were absolutely wonderful. As far as age is concerned, you don't know it yet, but, as we get older and older, our minds and emotions are still those of a 25 year old. Maybe not everybody feels this, but, I always feel 25 even though i am considerably older than that. 😂

It wasn’t long and someone told us you’re not supposed to be here and explained it was a function for Saga. I didn’t know what Saga was at the time but I’ve never forgotten after that :)

This cruise sounds fabulous. My husband and my children would love it. They’re 14 & 16 and prefer quiet over crazy. Playing games with their 70+ uncles over teen clubs. As a family we went on a NCL and didn’t enjoy it, spent most of the time in our cabin. Before kids went on Holland America cruise, preferred it over NCL.

This is so interesting, thanks for the video! The whole "50+" phenomenon really intrigues and kind of baffles me, though, I have to say. I'm in my 40s and have plenty of 50+ friends, but I don't know a single person who wants to do this sort of age-restricted thing. This seems more like something my parents' generation would have done. I would personally love a child-free cruise, but I definitely prefer to be with adults of all ages; I enjoy socializing with 20-somethings, 80-somethings, and everyone in between!

You're lucky you stood out like a sore thumb. When I was in my late 20s I travelled on a ferry on which there was a SAGA bus party. I was late disembarking and just as I was heading to the gangway the announcement was made for the SAGA passengers to disembark, so I walked off in the middle of them. At the foot of the gangway they all went left to their coach, but I went right like the normal foot passengers, only to hear the bus driver shout: "You're going the wrong way!"

I travelled to Australia with CMV on the MV Astor. I suspected it would be like being on a floating old people’s home as most of the people with the time and money to take a 7 weeks cruise are retired. And in fact most people were retired and I was told the average age of passengers was 73. Probably most were around 70 with some older and a number like myself who were a lot younger. However it was brilliant. Everyone I met was enthusiastic and up for anything. Everyone was courteous and friendly and everyone was so interesting. Being older they had well informed ideas and opinions and some wonderful life experiences. If I had the chance to do it again I would pick the same demographic. Good luck to Ambassador Cruise Lines who look like continuing the CMV tradition. I hope the Australia trips become available as soon as the pandemic is over.

I imagined a 50+ cruise as being full of grumpy senior citizens, so I am glad to hear that's not so! We are under 50 with a teenager who loves history, so we'd love to find a river cruise for active families. I didn't ever consider river cruising before watching your videos, Emma! My parents did a Mississippi River one back in the 90's and they ended up fleeing at the first port of call because it was so awful. I loved reading your daily dairy of the trip. It reminds me that I need to find my travel journal!

I was fortunate to stay a few days in the famous spa/hotel in Budapest just across the bridge in your video. A great relaxing experience that would be great to combine prior to getting onboard that river cruise. My very first cruise was in January out of Miami a few years ago. The average age of the passengers was higher due to the time of year and mostly everyone was from Europe. I didn't feel odd or out of place and enjoyed spending time with experienced cruisers. it still remains to be my favorite cruise experience.

You mentioned being on the top deck during a lock. On the US/Canada border, I've been through the Soo Locks. It's not a cruise, it's a little 90-minute tour boat that goes through the lock, a bit on the other side, then back. On the US side, the small lock is 800' x 80'. The big lock is 1,200' x 110'. Needless to say, the little tour boat usually uses the smaller lock.

@8.14 ''Good or bad table mates can definately make or break a cruise''. How true ! I have done a Nile cruise twice .. tables of 8 and you had to sit at the same table every time, and that was your excursion group every day as well. The first time was brilliant, which is why I did it again four years later .. the second time there was a couple who moaned about absolutely everything (the taps in their en-suite, the heat, the food, the locals, the size of the pool, the time we had to get up to go out on a trip to see ''yet another'' temple) on and on it went, and loud enough for everyone to hear 🥴

I haven't had any bad experiences with table mates but I'm the same, that's always my fear. We did have the 'earthquake sisters' we called them. They didn't use knives and just sawed their meat with their forks so while they were doing that, everything just shook. But they were very nice so it was more amusing than annoying. The table next to us, though, had a feuding couple one night. Well, he was just quiet and 'took it' but she was REALLY mad and just kept telling him off, she didn't care that she was sharing a table and the others were uncomfortable.

I'm disappointed how much you lamented on the age group for the saga cruises. People completely underestimate how lively & fun most people in this age group are. This age group were partying in the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's. These were the foundation years of rock n roll, hippie's, disco, house music & raves! Their motto was work hard all week and party at the weekends. Some of them might not have the physical stamina to party all night but they definitely are interesting & fun people to be around. If I get the opportunity to go on a saga cruise I'm definitely going.

You mentioned it was an old ship and I was wondering how was the sound insulation between cabins? I was on an older Viking ship once and you could hear everything going on in the cabins next to you. Glad I had ear plugs. Also the Russian cruise I took was on an old ship and I experienced the vibrating at times as well. This was in the dining room and the glasses and plates would shake and make quite a noise. Keep up the good work.

Loved this Emma! I'm really not sure if I would do a river cruise. I hear they're expensive and the thought of it doesn't seem much better than just driving in my own car. I don't know. I could be wrong. The other thing I wondered about this was the 50+ thing. My wife and I are 57 but we act and think like we're your age. Age just creeps up on you so quickly. But I get a feeling this cruise was for people much older than 50. And for that I could see that this might be a very good option.

You don't have to find parking, the tours are included. The cost of a hotel with amazing river views like you'd get on the cruise would be horrendously expensive. The food is usually amazing and instead of the stress of driving you can be sitting sipping a drink watching the world go by. I mean I could have a hamburger for dinner and be OK or I could go to a nice restaurant and have a steak, sure they're both meals and I'd eat both but you get what you pay for.

Emma i am just wondering do u do different holidays then cruises 🛳? I love travelling i use to want to go on cruise that's why i started to watch cruise videos. But have to say the more i 👂 about all them restrictions regulations and rules along all that extra expenses on top what you already pay i change my mind and i never want to go on cruise. I rather go and pay ticket to Indonesia or Philippines and stay for month and still not going to spend what you pay for cruise .Just dont think is worth it 🤷‍♀️

I like cheap European city breaks and road trips around places like the US. You definitely could do that, I would much prefer a cruise though. No worrying about food or entertainment or transport, the cruise lines look after you and you’re never bored for a second. Each to their own though! 🥳👏🏼

Yes, it was wonderful. Very different from the ocean cruises I'm used to - but great to just stop in the middle of towns and cities. So much to see and do!

Haven't they heard of rollators in the UK? They're much more comfortable than walkers. You can use them as a chair too.

@@EmmaCruises Thanks for replying. I do apreciate your chanel. It must be frustrating in the current situation trying to keep things going. Lets hope things improve and we can get an Autumn or winter cruise this year. Did a Southampton to Florida at the end of 2019 on RC which is what we are aiming for this year but wont book until last minute. I suspect the UK is going to be the pariah state re covid and not allowed anywhere soon.
