I Took a 90s Themed Party Cruise - (With Unlimited Drinks)

I’ve just disembarked a 3 night 90s themed cruise where we saw and did things that would be unthinkable on any other mainstream cruise. I originally booked this cruise way back in 2019, for years I’d promised my friends this amazed party filled with 90s bands and sunshine and fancy dress.

I’d bought 5 first timer cruisers on the cruise so I was feeling nervous, I hoped that they would enjoy it but there was a very real risk that this crazy cruise night put them off cruising for life. This was a very busy cruise and not a normal cruising experience, at all.

I’m someone who has never and still doesn’t have any desire to cruise- but your channel is one of my number one comfort watches and just wanted to say as a disabled person the extent to which you make note of accessibility in near every video is SO appreciated. It should be the standard for reviewers of any kind but unfortunately isn’t, so it’s always really nice to see 🥰

Can you imagine 30 years from now, Marella doing this throwback cruise about the 2020's? "Come take the covid cruise! MASKS REQUIRED! Enjoy the entertainment from the TV in your cabin! We will deliver your food to your cabin door for you!"

[Nicolemarquardt]

"Does anyone know what this is for?" Yes! It is a pocket in the wall so that when you open your cabin door, you don't bang the inside door handle into the wall. Instead it swings into the pocket! 😀

Emma knows how to make you feel old - talking about the 90s like its ancient history!😛

Emma looks great as Velma. Also I love how she mentions her search for Pepsi Max. Things like that can be deal breakers for me lol

[uncletiggermclaren]

OMG you totally nailed Velma, that was awesome.

Emma, I've been on that ship twice when it was the Legend of the Seas. The question you ask at 3:19 is a recess for the door handle to prevent damage to the wall from the handle when the door is opened all the way. I think it also allows the door to open as wide as possible. As an American I don't know any of those bands but sounds like you had a great time. Love the Naughties designation for the 2000's.

A 90s cruise does look appealing. Thanks for the video. I wonder if any cruise line would do an 1890s themed cruise, that would be hilarious!

[lananieves]

Just want to say that I've never been on a cruise, but I love your channel. You do such a good job of showing the pros and cons of the different cruises, and you have such a pleasant way of presenting. I could easily see you doing this on tv. I would like to take a river cruise, one day, or send my dad on a cruise, and your channel is so full of valuable information - I'm feeling more and more that being able to cruise is viable on a budget. Thanks for the great content!

Loved your comment about us women needing pockets. Remember intending to buy a jacket for my outdoor tours. Couldn't find one with onside pockets. Ended up buying one for men...

[JamesonThomas]

This looks amazingly fun! The Avril costume was 10/10

[Clarinetboy]

That looked like a fun cruise! I remember the 90's. I graduated in 2000. Fun decade. As for the first decade of the 2000s, here in the States in general I think we've settled on the "aughts, " which mirrors what we referred to the first decade of the 20th century as well. I remember as a kid hearing old timers referring to dates in the beginning of the 20th century as "back in aught 5..." or some such phrasing.

Omg when I was 12 having the Venga Boyz play at my birthday party was my dream! Of course they were huge back then so it remained just a dream. Seeing they were playing on this cruise has me back to my 12 year old self wondering where I can sign up for my dream concert! Looks like a great time Emma! Cheers!

Loved the video Emma. I would have utterly hated the cruise but the sight of people partying without masks, social distancing or any other covid restriction put a smile on my face.

[thejamnasium]

I've never been on a cruise and I've really never even had the urge to, yet for some reason I found myself watching this video and thinking how fun this trip looks. nice work! you make it sound appealing

[toddjones]

It’s amazing you’re allowed to film shows. You do such a good job, it’s obvious other cruise lines are missing the free publicity.

[KarynHill]

I think of the 2000s as the aughts, which is how I've routinely heard the 1900s referred to as. But I think the naughties sounds a lot more fun!

Glad you and your friends enjoyed the cruise and that they'll be cruising again. Hopefully they won't think their next one is too sedate.

[Cruisetravelers]

We just call this decade the 2000s.

This cruise looks like so much fun.

[HansHess]

Emma, the enthusiasm you bring to your videos is so wonderful. Keep up the great job. Love the wigs. All the best.

Rewatching this while dream-mapping my first few cruises-- that solo price WITH drinks really is pretty great 😮❤
