Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast, your week to look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 465.

Royal Caribbean versus Disney Cruise Line for the Battle of the Family Cruises, boy,

it's a never-ending debate about which one has its virtues, which one is better, and which one should you choose.

But this week, we've got a listener review that actually went on both the new disney wish and a royal

Caribbean cruise ship to get an idea of what the experiences were like compared to each other right

one after another here we go disney versus Royal Caribbean it's a subject i love talking about because as a former Disney cruiser myself and a Royal Caribbean convert, it's a subject that's near and dear to my heart more so than other lines.

And this week we actually have somebody joining us on the podcast who went on both lines and in quick succession.

Actually, it's a back to back side to side

to see everyone to look at it two cruises in a row one on disney one on royal and also on the

disney's new ship we'll get more into that in just the second but joining me on this week's

episode is sylvia haines sylvia welcome to the real cream blog podcast well hey there i am so

excited to be here absolutely glad to have you here i thought this a really cool idea. You went on two cruises in a row. First, the Disney Wish, brand new Disney cruise ship. And then he went on Mariner of the Seas. So talk to me about why you did, how you picked this out? How did you do two cruises in a row? And how did you decide to do one on Disney, one on Royal right after each other?

Gotcha.

So I am obsessed with cruising.

I'm almost to your level, not quite.

But so between canceled cruises and having some future cruise credits to move around, we have a lot of choices to work with.

And so it all started with my husband's 40th birthday.

It was a royal cruise that got canceled.

And then we picked up a Disney cruise that got canceled.

And so then when the wish got announced, we pushed that to the wish.

You know, could not turn down that option.
