** An little explanation of the paid promotion box ** - I was invited onboard by Emerald to try a cruise on a yacht so didn't pay a cruise fare (I don't think that's a surprise ha ha, it isn't in my normal budget that's for sure.). They have no control over my content and this was just a regular cruise, the only difference is I didn't pay for the cruise fare so want to let you know that. Thanks all for your fabulous comments and questions during this trip! 🥳🥳
Nice that you make effort to make it clear when something is sponsored/you've received a cruise for free. Many UA-camrs don't bother, I see very obviously sponsored content all the time that isn't labelled. Your approach is great.
Thanks for being clear, Emma! I hate it when people don’t declare their freebies, and that’s something that happens a LOT in travel reviews. I trust you to be honest, but I still think it’s important to know if you haven’t paid the fare yourself! Great video as always, though - looks like a fab ship if you can afford it!
I like how you mentioned the things that aren't perfect, like the seasickness and even better, the shower, it does make this review seem more legit. What a gorgeous cabin!
That is simply amazing how great the crew was with Captain Hudson! The best part is that I am sure even on a luxury yacht the crew's life become very repetitive and obviously Captain Hudson brought a little spice and a lot of happiness into their lives for a week.
Aww thats so adorable that the crew joined in with captain Hudson 🥰 Beautiful luxury yacht 💕 what a lovely experience ( apart from feeling a bit rough😢) . Great video Emma 🥰 have a Good weekend 🥰
That is a HUGE yacht! So cool that you could walk right into the bridge, and hysterical what they did with Captain Hudson! The graphics and content in this video are really great. Very strange that drinks were all-inclusive except soft drinks in your mini-bar! Just curious about dining on board and excursions.
@@tally1604I think the difference is in the amenities, not size. Cruise ships generally have things like casinos, theaters, water parks, karaoke bars, etc. A cruise ship is its own destination, while a yacht takes you to destinations. Of course, you'll find exceptions, because, in the end, the ship is whatever the line chooses to call it.
That is SO cool that the crew got in on the fun with Captain Hudson! Our Captain Hudson moved in with us last week! So excited to take him on adventures! Most will be camping trips, but hopefully he will enjoy those as much as the cruises. :)
That is a very spiffy cabin. It rivals the expensive hotel rooms not the cheap budget hotel rooms that I tend to stay in. The ship it self appears very nice. As to Captain Hudson he apparently has a much better life than I do. I'm surprised you could get him to leave the ship.
Bridge bits on the side deck next to the bridge are called "wing stations" in yacht parlance; useful for docking when the yacht is big enough to have them.
Looks lovely, I will have to investigate that cruise ship! Love the personal attention and a bum-washer, what a wonderful cleansing treat! Happy Birthday & best wishes to your Dad. Happy travels.👍 😉
Thank you very much, it was a great cruise. My birthday was the last day so unfortunately spent most at the airport etc. I made sure I had a great birthday breakfast before getting off the yacht 🎉
Red night lights help you get back to sleep. White or blue lights suppress melatonin and can make it harder to sleep. I changed my bathroom night light to a red Christmas bulb, and I've slept better since.
Just to say Captain Hudson 2 has arrived in good time to accompany us to the Fjords on Iona on Saturday! Hopefully he’s not disappointed after living the high life on that luxury yacht!
I just have to say I adore your content. You are one of my go-tos when I am missing cruising and want to have someone soothing, fun, funny, and honest sharing your thoughts. Keep doing what you do! Also the Captain Hudson journey on this one IS SO CUTE!!!!!
What a nice yacht. Looks like you had a fantastic stateroom. Thanks for the very well done and informative video. Can't wait to see your next video about the yacht experience!
Very interesting, obviously Capt Hudson's celebrity status was known to the crew. Can you imagine what the cabins must be like on a private super yacht that is 156m long with 20 cabins.
We received our Captain Hudson - he will be traveling with my daughter on her adventures. The yacht looked incredible - I am from a small town and don't like crowds - maybe this would work for me. Safe travels.
I've been on two cruises (so far). First was on the Robertson II a sailing schooner (since retired). While we weren't under sail that often it was quite the experience. My second cruise was onboard a 14 passenger motor yacht in the Galapagos Islands. Nowhere near as luxurious as the Emerald Azzurra but the yacht was more a place to eat, sleep, and journey to the next island.
Awesome video, bet Capt. Hudson had a blast on that cruise. Probably had more fun than you had lol. Saw another vblogger on a Ritz Carlton Yacht and the crew are a lot more accommodating and proactive than on a regular or luxury cruise. Also seems the food is much better too. If I had the funds or win the lottery I would definitely love to go on a Yacht cruise.
I used to work for Scenic/Emerald in Australia, they're absolutely fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed product training for the Azzura and hope to get on there myself one day!! Top tier cruising! Glad you enjoyed it :)
That sounds like a really great cruise and it looks this was the best cruise Captain Hudson has ever taken. Looks like he had ball. Also sounds like you enjoyed it too.
Just love the way the housekeeping crew played with Captain Hudson!! 🤣🤣🤣. Looks like Capt Hudson has a furry friend on this trip. The comment on “spelt” vs “spelled” was useful to me😬. I always thought it was “spelt” but had seen it written as “spelled” in many books.. probably British vs American spelling
Hey Emma. Wow. A super yacht 🛥️. Don’t see why the mini drinks weren’t included with the drink package. Large tv indeed. Nice bathroom. Waiting to hear the problem. Ooo. Open bridge policy. Nice. Like the shoe storage. Oh my. Love Captains Hudson’s adventures; especially spa day. Oh wow. That is a problem your shower issue. Thanks for sharing. 🤗
wow gorgeous :) i looove what the cabin crew did with captain hudson :) hes coming with us on our honeymoon virgin cruise on resilient lady :) itll be his first cruise with his new mummy and daddy here in australia :) lets go cruising captain hudson :)
for motion sickness, you should try either ginger beer or herbal ginger tablets. They deal with the sickness without making you feel blah like dramamine can. I was in the navy for 15 years and the ginger always helped.
Looks great. It would be interesting to know about the food and the Excursion "offer". Presumably as an established River Boat company Emerald bring a different approach to ocean cruising.

Although I wonder if a non-YT passenger would have her pet treated sogood.

So crazy isn't it?! YES! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Hudson is living large...
Looks like Captain Hudson had so much fun and the crew had fun with him too!
Aww thats so adorable that the crew joined in with captain Hudson 🥰
Beautiful luxury yacht 💕 what a lovely experience ( apart from feeling a bit rough😢) .
Great video Emma 🥰 have a Good weekend 🥰
I think my fave was Hudson being "hung over" from the tropical drink 😆🍹🧡
That was my one!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The captain Hudson scenes are the absolute best ever!!!
ha ha, glad you like them! Made me laugh a lot :)
What a great crew to treat Captain Hudson like a royalty! I envy his/her adventures on this breathtaking yacht!
So much!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Is there going to be a part 2? I’d love to hear about the food and entertainment! What a beautiful ship
Yesss this is just my cabin review I’m working on the cruise review at the mo 😗❤️ Thanks for your interest!!
Don’t need a crayon, lightly stroking with a pencil also works.
@@EmmaCruises I can hardly wait! Thank you 😻
@@EmmaCruisess
Wow, what a great crew! You can tell they really care about their passengers' experiences with the Hudson antics and pictures. What a hoot!😂
😂😂😂

Yeaaaah! My next video will be all about that so stay tuned. Woop woop. Thank you! 😁❤
The mini-bar ripoff is used on most cruise lines. Disappointing that they nickel and dime even the passengers paying 1000USD per night
What the cutoff when a huge yacht becomes a small cruise liner?

Captain Hudson deserves all the fun and pampering he gets. Such a sweetheart ❤
You could tell the crew had fun with Captian Hudson. Your cabin looked like a nice hotel room with a great layout and decent storage.
That is SO cool that the crew got in on the fun with Captain Hudson!
Our Captain Hudson moved in with us last week! So excited to take him on adventures! Most will be camping trips, but hopefully he will enjoy those as much as the cruises. :)
Yay!! 😀❤️

Spiffy indeeeeed! He does!!!
What a beautiful cruise on a spectacular yacht Emma! Really loved the attention Captain Hudson received from the crew! That's pretty cool
Soooo cool. Thank you! 😁❤️
Oh my goodness I just love what they did with Captain Hudson! That is so creative and fun!!!
Bridge bits on the side deck next to the bridge are called "wing stations" in yacht parlance; useful for docking when the yacht is big enough to have them.
Also, guests hanging out in the bridge is relatively normal in yachting.
YESS! That's it. Ha ha. Not in regular cruising that's for sure! ;)
The lights for the cleaning staff? Brilliant. Kudos to whomever came up with that idea.
It is isn't it? So simple but makes such a difference!
Can’t wait for the cruise ship tour and more about your adventures on board. Hopefully you had as much fun as Capt. Hudson.
I loved the Captain Hudson scenes! So fun and creative!
I love your cliff hanger phrase as it keeps me tuned in to hear...
"More about that later."
Haha, always like writing that one in. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma! You have the bet videos! I love seeing how some of them get over 1 Million views! You do great work and so entertaining.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Blown away by those extra touches and details with Captain Hudson. Now that is customer service!
It is! 😂❤️
Looks lovely, I will have to investigate that cruise ship! Love the personal attention and a bum-washer, what a wonderful cleansing treat! Happy Birthday & best wishes to your Dad. Happy travels.👍 😉
Ha ha!! Thank you! 😁❤️

Captain Hudson had an awesome time 😊

The captain hudson situations was so cute! That cabin attendant must have had so much fun doing those 😂😂
I hope so! 🥹
That was a lovely episode and captain Hudson is a star.
Thank you! 😁❤️
Oh wow this looks absolutely phenomenal! Added to my list to try - thanks for the excellent video as usual Emma :)
You’d feel right at home on here I know it 😎👍🏼 Felt like I was pretending to be you for the week. 😂😂
Love love love that Hudson had adventures too!
Me too!! 🥹❤️
Just to say Captain Hudson 2 has arrived in good time to accompany us to the Fjords on Iona on Saturday! Hopefully he’s not disappointed after living the high life on that luxury yacht!
Ha ha!! He likes all things! 🤣
Great video Emma!
It's so funny that they had Hudson adventures while you were away. 😁
So fun!! Thank you! 😁❤️
I just love watching you sail around the world. Thank u for sharing.
The Captain Husdon adventures may have made my day, cannot stop smiling. Haha so sweeeet

Love the captain Hudson adventures, Well done crew.
Wow, how the other half lives, beautiful ship! Thanks for sharing Emma

Wow Emma living the luxury life!!
Captain Hudson!!!!! You're awesome!
Wow so nice! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Cheers!
Thank you! 😁❤️
Great video. The open bridge concept is amazing. But with only 80 some passengers, it is very manageable. Hudson rocks
Yeah! I do imagine they get some guests that just don’t want to leave though 😂😂
@@EmmaCruisesI bet!

I think the yacht crew did an awesome job! Especially with the creative photos. Now, it's time to take Hudson on a rescue mission to Maui. 🔥 🚒
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
It's the little details that make a holiday magical. The ship and crew were amazing, and now it's time for me to start saving :) 😍😍😍
i like seeing you in a luxury yacht. you deserve it. makes me smile.
Thank you! 😁❤️
This looks absolutely wonderful! Also the staff seems very nice and fun! ☺️❤️

That sounds like a really great cruise and it looks this was the best cruise Captain Hudson has ever taken. Looks like he had ball. Also sounds like you enjoyed it too.
🥳🥳🥳
They really embraced that cat!!! Fun.
Lovely cruise. I’d love to try one!
Omg little captain Hudson swaddled on the tv, that’s so cute
He was in a slipper! ;D
@@EmmaCruises lol so cute! What a pampered little guy
Love this vlog and Captain Hudson’s own cruise antics 😂
Love this Emma. you smashed it..
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Oh, Emma - I'm praying that your days 'on the inside' aren't over...!!
Omg I love what they did with Hudson!
I really enjoy her tours.
Thank you! 😁❤️
Love your videos Emma!
Thank you! 😁❤️
Your cabin steward was incredible!!
The best! ;D
What they dd for Captain Hudson was so cute! Makes me think I could work on a ship like that.
Soooooo cute 🥹❤️
Captain Hudson you clever cat ❤️
LOL. 9:11 Passed out Captain Hudson with the tipped over empty glass!
That was one of my creations! Ha ha :)
Beautiful!
Great video - can we expect a Part 2 to talk about activities and food and such like please? Looking forward to it.
I’m about 80% done with the script I think so I hope to record it this week and edit next week 😀❤️🙏
Captain Hudson adventures made me soooo happy
Me too! 🥹
Amazing hudson moments
What a special treat!! When I hit the lottery I’m going to book a cruise. 😁
My cruising days are over, but I love watching your adventures.
Thank you! 😁❤️
Perfect chok chok glowing skin! Shines like smooth glass
Ha ha. Thank you! 😁❤️
Haven’t seen your vids in a while. The lighting looks great!
Thank you haha! Been playing with it a lot 😅
I would love this cruise and this room!!

Had to pause the video and double check... I spy a Rangers hat! Love to see some home team merch when I'm also far away.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well spotted. That would be my hat, (Emma's dad) we have a friend from Texas who sent it over to the UK for me 😊
Checking out the bridge seems very cool.
SO COOL!! Blew my mind. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I want to go on this cruise - but honestly what they did with Captain Hudson is really the cutest thing ever.
Sooo cute!!! 😀

4:37 Fantastic to find truly universal AC electric outlets that included the United Kingdom’s outlet!
Looks great. It would be interesting to know about the food and the Excursion "offer". Presumably as an established River Boat company Emerald bring a different approach to ocean cruising.
Adorable ❤❤❤
I just went on my first cruise in may with scenic! We went on the eclipse II and it was amazing!
