Summary

On this week's show we are catching up with Carol to hear more about her family's recent "back-to-back" sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy. The Fantasy is currently doing 4-night sailings, with a three night break between sailings. So Carol and her family had to navigate changing testing and port protocols, as well as get COVID tests for the kids in between sailings. Carol shares her reactions to being back onboard the Fantasy for its first revenue sailing, and the differences she experienced between sailings. If you'd like to connect with Carol and follow along on her family's Disney cruising adventures you can find her on Instagram @disneycruise_momof3.
