Creator's Key Takeaways

i've done six oh that's pretty impressive what what have you done i think i know but i thought yeah so i did i started um with the uh venus uh then did saga which was supposed to go to scotland but then we couldn't go to scotland they were because there was a seven nights and a six nights and then i've done all the short ones which are um so then i did uh piano britannia um which reinforced my lack of love you know really it was good to try it again because i've done for a long time uh then i did a regal princess then i did um uh virgin lady and then i did the week-long celebrity silhouette

my favorite was viking and um and the reason of my favorite vikings i had only ever toured the ships before i hadn't been on the ships so actually that was really great

i would direct them much more towards alaska as a first cruise just because it's you know it's the scenery is amazing

i think i completely agree and also i think it was just such bad timing that they no one ever got to try no never got to cruise with them they launched it completely the wrong time but yeah i was very pleasantly surprised

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Choose one of the big three regions (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska) for a first cruise.
βœ“For a seasoned traveler who hasn't cruised, consider Alaska for its scenery and active excursions.
βœ“Be prepared for extra costs on Norwegian Epic, as many things are chargeable.
βœ“If you're a solo cruiser, Holland America is good for meeting people, and their solo meetups are unhosted.

Choosing a first cruise as a seasoned traveler β€” Consider Alaska for scenery and active excursions, or look at the big three regions (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska) based on preferences.
Noise in cabins β€” Book a specific cabin to avoid noise; don't tick the auto-upgrade box, and choose a cabin away from high-traffic areas.

This Friday I'm going to be chatting with the legend that is... GARY BEMBRIDGE from the Tips For Travellers channel! 5PM UK, 12PM Eastern. Yep the thumbnail is how excited I am. I asked you last week who you'd like to see me chat with next and Gary (rightly so) was the most popular choice by a long way. I've known Gary for years but haven't actually seen him since pre-pandemic, so I'm excited to catch up. If you have any cruise questions, please bring them along or just come for a chat. Either way, get comfy and bring a drink! β–Ά SUBSCRIBE for weekly cruise tips, tours and news: https://bit.ly/34ltwZi β–Ά STAY UP TO DATE: http://emmacruises.com/news β–Ά JOIN US ON PATREON: https://bit.ly/3kmSZan β–Ά BOOKING A CRUISE?
