cc88 Posted August 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2017 We recently traveled on Gate 1 and were very happy with the trip. Emerald seems to fit similarly in pricing their cruises, does anyone have experience with both cruise lines and could comment or compare their experiences? thanks!

Floridiana Posted August 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Gate 1 is a company that mainly offers land tours. I haven't seen a boat yet. Emerald has their own boat(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc88 Posted August 19, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hi Floridiana As of last year Gate 1 has 3 ships and I believe another on the way - http://www.travelweekly.com/River-Cruising/Gate-1-quietly-enters-river-cruise-fray The ships were previously with the amawaterways fleet, I believe the next ship is from a different company. Emerald looks like it has some nice cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmartins Posted August 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Haven't done emerald but have done 2 uniworld cruises and a gate 1 this year. Besides not have unlimited booze, low key decor and having to pay for some extra excursions we were impressed. Gate 1's food, service and comfort was very good. And we had our doubts. Had the best times in the evenings with their entertainment (usually by the crew). Our dinner waiter always made sure our wine glasses were TOPPED off before we left the dinning room in the evening. Didn't do any of the extra excursions but they did extensive and informative walking tours. We are looking at another cruise with them next spring. The price was the best....and as they say See the world for less ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
