This week, we celebrated 200 live streams on the Emma Cruises YouTube channel. Can you believe that?! 200! 🥳😎 I started to regularly do live streams back in March of 2020 when everybody in my office was sent to work from home for what we thought would be two weeks... Without a commute, I decided to use that time to go live every week. 📸📹 I certainly never planned to do 200, but I had so much fun that I've never stopped! It's become a regular part of my schedule and I always look forward to...

I know "all-inclusive" and "budget" usually don't go together, but hear me out on this one... 😂🍷 I've booked a little cruise with the British cruise line Marella. They include flights, transfers, all gratuities and DRINKS (including alcohol) as standard. Woohoo! 🚢⚓️ This will be my 5th Marella cruise, and I can't wait to bring you on this adventure! 👏🏼😁 If you are looking for a cheap cruise, there are lots of things to avoid that can push the prices up significantly! We have all seen bargain...

Hey hey hey! This winter has been long and cold hasn't it? I'm convinced I'm sun-powered like a lizard, and that's why I booked a last-minute break onboard Celebrity Infinity. 🌤️🕶️I've just got home and I can confirm, the sun does still exist. Greece is keeping it for a while longer though! 😂☀️ Infinity is a little ship built in the year 2000 and I loved my time on her. I was so lucky that just by pure chance, I was docked by the brand-new Sun Princess in Athens. My friend Don managed to get...

I found it I found it! The sun! It does still exist, it’s in Greece onboard the Celebrity Infinity. Luckily for me… I’M HERE TOO, taking a very cheap last minute out of season cruise. Our journey started at 3am so I haven’t explored the ship properly yet but I can confirm my ‘Celebrity has the best buffet’ statement 100% still stands. If you have seen pictures of Cruise Ships and Ocean Liners in dry dock undergoing renovation, or being built in the shipyards you may have wondered why they are...

Book too early? The price may fall. Leave it too late? You may miss out completely! Knowing when to book a cruise can be tricky. Generally speaking the cheapest time to book a cruise is as far in advance as possible (2-3 years sometimes) or last minute (60-90 days before the cruise). At the 60-90 days pre-cruise mark there can be some great deals because this is when the cruise lines need the full payment from other guests, so they know for sure how many cabins they have to sell. It’s always...
