Hey hey hey, I hope you've had a fantastic week. It's been a great one for me with two exciting things happening. 🥳🥳 The first is that I donated the money we raised from the latest versions of First Mate Rolo and Captain Hudson. In total, it came to $31,227, which is absolutely mind-blowing. The money will do SO much good, saving and changing the lives of humans, dogs and cats! 🥰❤️ As always I am so so proud of our community here and can't thank you enough. If you are waiting for your...

Hey, I hope you're having a lovely week! I've been doing one of my favourite things this week... researching potential cruises I'd like to book. 😂😂 The problem is, there are approximately 79547054 different cruises I'd like to take and so I need your help deciding! 🙏🏼🥰 If there’s a cruise line you’d love to see me try next, tell me here: Emma's Cruise Line Survey You can tick as many as you'd like. So far, Holland America are in the lead. I've never cruised with them but I'm sure I'd enjoy...

Hey hey hey, I hope you're having a lovely week. 🥳❤️ I've just disembarked the brand new Norwegian Luna, where I was onboard for a little two-day launch press trip. I was on the ship's first cruise EVER, and she's heading to Miami now for her naming ceremony. I'm back home working on my video. 😀🛳️ I managed to do so much in 2 days, including a 10-deck drop slide and an interactive adult only show. I usually run a mile from anything labelled as 'interactive' but I thought it would make a good...

One thing I hear A LOT when it comes to picking a cabin is advice like: “Just book the cheapest, you won’t spend much time in your room anyway.” I do agree that you probably won’t spend loads of time in an inside cabin, but that doesn't really work for the other cabin types. 🫢🌍 In my experience, the nicer the cabin, the more time you’ll actually want to spend there! 😂❤️ If I have a balcony, I might stay in and order room service, whereas if I'm in an inside cabin, eating inside doesn't have...

Hey hey, I hope you're having a lovely week. I'm sending this email from my cabin onboard the Norwegian Star sailing near Iceland! 😇🚢 I know 'The Sun DOESN'T SET' might not sound possible, but I promise you it is! 😂😂 On this cruise, I've been visiting some of the most remote places on earth, some of which are so far north that they have 24-hour sunlight during the summer. 🌤️🌦️ I visited Svalbard (where I took a trip down a coal mine and crawled through a 60cm high tunnel), and there the sun...

ad • Greetings from the wonderful Norwegian Star, currently bobbing around near Norway! 🇳🇴😁 The cruise I'm currently on is 12 days long, and we're visiting Svalbard and Iceland, two places that I've never been to before. They've been on my to do list for a veeery long time. 😋🚢 In Svalbard, the sun doesn't set between the 20th of April and the 22nd of August. AT ALL. Isn't that crazy?! I can't wait to show you more of this adventure. Glad I'm not here in winter when it's dark 24/7! 🥹🏆 I have...

My goodness me, what a week it has been! I hope yours is going well. 🇸🇱⚓️ This week, my video about the time I spent in Sierra Leone onboard a floating hospital ship went live. 😇❤️ It was by far the most difficult video to make and edit, but I hope that I managed to put everything I've learnt over the last 8 years of YouTube-ing into it because it's the most important video I've ever made. 🥰🙌🏼 The picture below is of a fake plastic dummy, by the way, not a real person. I was in the simulation...

After 7 rough days at sea… I'm home! I’m so so glad I took the trip, but so so so glad to be back on land now. I feel so much better. 😂❤️ I took a transatlantic from New York to Southampton onboard Cunard's Queen Mary 2. I knew the weather might be bad in January, but I figured it'd either be good weather or a good story to tell you. It certainly will be that! 😅😇 This trip has confirmed to me that cruises with more than a couple of sea days in a row aren’t for me as, unfortunately, I do feel...

Happy New Year! I hope you have had a lovely Christmas. 🎄🥰 What an incredible journey 2024 has been, thank you SO much for your company on this crazy ride. 😂❤️ We had a quiet family Christmas this year, and it was just what I needed. I got back from Sierra Leone on the 22nd and went straight into UK Christmas mode, it was quite a drastic change of scenery! I'm so so excited to share that trip with you very soon. 😅🤯 Just wanted to give you a quick heads up, we've completely sold all of our...
