Chattanooga Cruise Connection

Chattanooga Cruise Connection Chattanooga Cruise Connection is an affiliation of Emerson's Cruises & Tours, a leisure travel agency specializing in cruise and resort vacation.

Hello, my name is Bill Emerson. I am a CLIA Certified Master Cruise Counsellor. I have spent the last 30 years absorbing information on cruise ships and cruise vacationing. I have learned all I could from industry insiders, crew members, ship board entertainers, captains and engineering personnel. I have been obsessed with how these self-contained floating palaces move guest from one port to anoth

er in pampered comfort and safety. How the ships galleys can prepare warm and delicious meals for 5000 hungry souls per day. How something 1000 feet long and 20 stories tall can navigate the globe continuously. How on board electricity is generated, drinking water purified, food is refrigerated and thousands entertained. It's truly a fascinating enterprize not duplicated an any other industry. And it's interesting to me that very few people fortunate enough to experience it first hand ever even think about what it takes to produce such an amazing product. Well, I have very thorough experience of the world of cruise vacations. I have sailed on every type of cruise ship ... from small boutique luxury vessels with only a few hundred guest to mega ships carrying several thousand. And I want to motivate you to find the right ship and enjoy this wonderful holiday youself. I will admit that not everyone will sold on this exciting vacation choice. But I believe most of you will if you find the product that fits you. Considering the plethora of choices available with competing cruise lines offering many different styles and experiences, it's no surprise that so many make the mistake of choosing the wrong one. I am here to offer you expert advise on this subject. For you to ask questions like "What should I do?". And "What cruise line should I choose?" I am also here as a sounding board for your opinions, complaints, concerns and suggestions. There is nothing better that good dialogue. Message me with what is on your mind about ships as well as ports, itineraries and shore excursions. I am ready to hear from you so let's get started.

~ Bill

Day and night aboard ... this holds a special place in my memory because it was the last one I enjoyed with my father. He was very ill and wheelchair bound but the staff were extremely respectful and caring towards him. Forever grateful.

The ship to the right is no longer with us ... no more bustling pier side disembarkations ... no more the subject of countless photos and no more welcoming embarkations. She had many more years if valiant service in her but these perilous times did her in. Gone too soon!
