Hey, how's it going?

My name is Doug Parker.

Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. A review of Disney Cruise Lines, Disney was going. My name is Doug Parker. Thank you so much for checking out this episode of

Cruise Radio. A review of Disney Cruise Lines Disney Dream Today. Also, Dan Skilken from Tripinsurance.com

drops by to discuss a couple of, I guess, instances we've seen in the cruise industry over the past

few months from the bankruptcy of Crystal Cruises and people, you know, being owed upwards of

$20,000, $40,000. Also, those folks who were on Norwegian Escape and just how travel insurance

could help in these crazy random situations we've been experiencing. Cruise news resumes next

week with staff writer Richard Sims. For now, we'll jump right to the Disney Dream interview.

So Chris and the family just got back from a three-night cruise over to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral, and he joins us on the line. Hey, Chris. What's going on, Doug? Hey, good to talk to you again. We last talked to you a few weeks back when you did Norwegian getaway in the Haven. and I have to say, chefs kiss there, A-plus experience in the Haven, man.

It lived up to your review for sure after doing it a couple weeks after the review. You sold me on it. You're up in Michigan and you flew down to Florida for this three-night Bahamas crew. So we'll take a step back. What made you want to take this three-nighter? Because that's a long way to go, Michigan to Florida, for three nights?

Yeah, it's just, we saw the cruise there and the weather's still kind of cold, and the three-nights is a little bit easier to get off of work for both me and my wife, and we decided, you know, what the heck. We've never done Disney before, so, you know, a three-night sampler was kind of right for us instead of, you know, you know, coming into a whole week, not knowing what we're really getting into, especially for the price. Yeah, for sure. Any pre-cruz time in Florida? We flew in the day before and we actually spent the night. There's a Hyatt's Regency right built into the airport there in Orlando, which was kind of cool.

You can have dinner watch overlooking the runway and you don't have to take an Uber or anything

anywhere. So we just hung on at the airport for a day by the pool and off to the ship the next

morning. Very good. You make your way to the Disney cruise terminal at Port Canaveral. How was the

embarkation process?

Are they still testing you at the pier or just getting that pre-cruised test and getting on board?
