Creator's Key Takeaways

i did take a cruise with emerald waterways and they invited me on that cruise just for disclosure purposes

river cruising definitely has this old person kind of stereotype to it and i have to say i don't know how anybody who was really young could have done the river cruise i took because i was exhausted by the end of the day

the food on river cruises is seriously fancy really fancy um really good quality

river cruises are super social you will know everybody in just a couple of days

YouTube Video Description

I've spent a lot of the last week or two talking about river cruising and it's been FABULOUS. I don't talk much about river cruising on the channel (my next video is back on ocean cruising) but I really want the chance to answer a few questions/chat about river cruising. So... we have a bonus live stream this week!
