I just got off the cruise from Amsterdam to Basel. I was on the Emerald Sun. The cruise included air fare, tips, excursions and beer and wine at meals. The food and staff was top notch. The only complaint that I have with the room. It wasn’t a balcony outside the room. I have been on two Viking River cruises. Loved their balcony. Had an awesome time on this cruise.
Hello! How awesome. How was the weather along the river at this time? Yes, it doesn't have that balcony, right? Although for us, we were barely in the room to have the need to use it. We are glad to hear you had an amazing time. We loved our experience with them, too. Enjoy the rest of your trip. 😊💕
"Hello" From Prince Edward Island, Canada. Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it. You seem like a kind, and fun loving couple. I found your video very ....... "accessible", and compelling. Quite different for the formulaic efforts flooding the internet. Cheers.
Hello @rowauthority ! Aww, this is really sweet. Thank you for watching and your amazing feedback! We really appreciate the insight you provided us. And very happy to hear we have provided value for you. Cheers! :)
@@VictorandMJ bali yung papa ko mam highschool graduate lang, nag work lang din dati sa hotel dto sa cebu bilang isang maintenance. At yung may ari nang River Cruise na Dutch nag check in sa hotel at na discover nya yung papa ko na magaling daw na maintenance. Ayun dinala nya yung papa ko sa Netherland at ginawa nyang maintenance at entertainer sa barko nya..
Ay ang galing ng Papa mo. Nakakatuwa Yung story nya. World class naman kasi talaga Filipino service. But for your dad to be noticed... that means he did very well. Nasa barko pa rin ba sya? I see Filipinos here and there sa river cruises, pero konti lang. Mostly nasa ocean cruises tayo. 💕
@@VictorandMJ wala na mam di na sya nakabalik . Sabi ni papa na luge daw yung River Cruise nung pandemic. Kaya bininta nang may ari ang mga barko nya . Tapos yung Dutch na may ari ay nandito na daw sa cebu nakatira kasi naka pangasawa nang pinay may edad narin kasi... ☺️
Aloha and Happy Holidays! Thank you for watching and providing feedback. 🙏 We are happy to hear you found us informative. 😀 If looking for a different type of Christmas, Christmas markets and Christmas cruise are wonderful alternatives. 💕
While this may have been your cabin, you should put in a disclaimer that your cabin was unusually large that most are not that size. As a tour leader you must have gotten a complimentary upgrade.
What a great vlog! Dining question: are you able to mix and match apps and mains as you could on an ocean cruise? If a main didnt appeal, could you double up on apps or request an app size of a main if the apps didnt appeal? Also, travel is an excuse for me to try lots of things I might never have had before, if I order something and don't care for it on an ocean cruise it's usually no big deal to replace it with something else. Is that possible on river cruises as well?
Thank you! Absolutely! River cruises often provide flexibility in dining arrangements. While it can vary by cruise line, many do allow you to mix and match appetizers and mains. If a particular main dish doesn't appeal to you, you can often request an appetizer-sized portion or even replace it with another option. The goal is to ensure you have an enjoyable dining experience, similar to the flexibility you might find on an ocean cruise. Feel free to explore and try new things-river cruises often cater to individual preferences. We would like to mention that we do help booking travel.

Hi John! Thank you for watching and providing feedback. It means a lot to us when we hear back from our audience. :D We have done a ship inspection of the Viking Cruise, seen the rooms/amenities - it's a pretty ship and the drink mixes were good. But we have not cruised with it yet. My travel agent colleagues have given mixed reviews. Things to note are that excursions are jam packed. It is a big group. And although they take deposits, you will have to pay in full a year in advanced. Also depending on preference, food are more american based. It really depends on what you personally expect, like and look for in a cruise to know if Emerald or Viking is better for you.
We have more cruise videos of what we have been with. If you are in the US and would like assistance in picking the perfect cruise ship for you, we have our information on the description box and can help. Will need more details in order to recommend. Thank you again and happy new year! :)
Hi MJ, thanks for replying. We just got back from a Viking Christmas market cruise from Amsterdam to Basel, we are looking at booking a different river for next Christmas. We ended up watching your Emerald video and just wondered how they compared to Viking if you’d ever travelled with them. So far they look very similar. Thanks again for replying. Safe travels.
@JohnJCampbell72 Ah, I would love to hear about your experience and takeaway with Viking? If Emerald seems the same to you, they have Scenic, which is a more elevated experience. Other companies you may want to look at are Avalon and AMA. I have sent clients with them and have lovely feedbacks. 😊👌
Hi Chrisina, as we embarked and stayed overnight in Amsterdam. So, the first day of the cruise was a tour of the canals of Amsterdam by a glass boat. But we also arrived a few days prior to the cruise and had the time on our own in Amsterdam. We created a separate video about it.
@@VictorandMJ yes I saw the video and want to visit those museums as well. Im also taking the same river cruise but I’m wondering if I would have time to go unless I arrived early like yourselves?
Hi Lisa, no it didn't. Because of it being a sliding door, it did not bother Victor while he was sleeping. Nor did it make any negative impact on our experience.
