Thank You x1388! – Emma Cruises Weekly Newsletter

There isn’t enough space here for me to write out ‘Thank You‘ 1388 times, but if there were, I would. 😂❤️

1388 is how many Captain Hudson’s and First Mate Rolo’s were ordered this time and it has raised a whopping $18,531.19 for the two charities that we support!! 🐕🏥

That brings our total raised from all of the versions to a little over $205,000. That is an incredible sum by any measure, but it goes so much further than you’d think in the hands of the charities who are doing the most amazing work. 🙌🏼😇

I actually want to say thank you more than 1388 times. If you didn’t purchase but you ever shared, liked or commented on any post about Rolo/Hudson, I want to thank you too. It all helps massively. 😊🥰

I’ve always known our community was generous, but I’m constantly amazed. Thank you!!! 😁😘

I spent the week trying to work out why this type of cabin exists, and because I booked this cruise during the peak of the summer school holidays, I was prepared for my cabin to feel very noisy and very busy.

You might get what you think is a cheap, bargain cruise, but by the time you have added on all the essential “extras”, it turns out not to be such a bargain after all!

Are Marella like that? In this article, we talk about the value of Marella cruises.

Psst, if you would like to book a Marella cruise but aren’t from the UK. We can do that for you! Just get in touch with my agency, either via The Cruise Globe app or on the booking link here.

I haven’t personally cruised with Holland America yet, but my parents recently sailed on Nieuw Statendam and stayed in the cheapest, guaranteed inside cabin. My Mum very kindly shared this review with me.

Both are enormous resort-style ships divided into different neighbourhoods. Oasis Class ships have seven neighbourhoods, but the bigger Icon Class has eight.

Which is better? We explore the options in this post.

LIVESTREAM SCHEDULE:

Thousands of passengers walk onto the ship, head straight for the buffet, and immediately join the queue.

After dozens of cruises, this is one queue I prefer not to join.
