Creator's Key Takeaways

Saga's food lived up to and exceeded all of my expectations it was fabulous.

We were so unbelievably lucky with our table mates we shared with four ladies who were lovely.

The crew were unbelievably helpful I guess it's easier to be helpful to 100 passengers on a river ship.

I was not bored for a second not for a second.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a good pair of shoes for walking.
Pack workout clothes as there are exercise classes.
Be prepared for table sharing at dinner.

YouTube Video Description

A couple of years ago I took a cruise with a Saga, a 50+ cruise line. At the time of the cruise, I was 25 years old. I stood out like a sore thumb and definitely felt like an undercover spy! * ad (press invite) * - I was invited on this cruise by Saga. Saga have never had any control over my content, I wasn't paid and all opinions are my own. In this video, I talk about how I found the experience, what surprised me about the cruise, and what I loved about it.
