| 0:00.0 | For anyone who's not selling concierge, you have to pay for popcorn. |
| 0:03.7 | And so that's why I am saying it's free because I want to be clear that that's not the |
| 0:08.9 | They also don't have to pay the $1,000 up charge for the room. |
| 0:12.2 | Of course, of course. |
| 0:12.9 | I don't think you can eat your weight in popcorn and have it come out in your favorite. Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel. |
| 0:34.7 | And Sam, we're talking firsts, but not a first time cruise tonight. |
| 0:39.7 | I know. I mean, you know I love talking first time cruising in general. But this topic is |
| 0:45.1 | something that's kind of near and dear to our hearts, even though it's something we only |
| 0:49.3 | started doing, I don't know, like 10 months ago, with a surprise that you had made for me, which was to book |
| 0:55.5 | concierge on a sailing that you and I were headed on without Nathan. And our guest today, |
| 1:01.9 | Jen, went on her first concierge sailing with, you know, having been on prior cruises on DCL. So |
| 1:09.0 | I'm really excited to hear how this went, hear her review and hear if |
| 1:13.4 | she would do it again. But without further ado, I'm going to introduce our guest, Jen. Welcome, |
| 1:19.0 | Jen. Hi. Thank you. Yeah. So great to have you. So Jen, how many Disney cruises had you done before |
| 1:25.8 | this one before you jumped both feet into concierge? How many Disney cruises had you done before this one, before you jumped both feet into concierge? How many Disney cruises have you done? Seven before this one. This one was our eighth. Nice. Already gold status. Yep. And all four ships? Or sorry, all five ships, I should ask? All four, we haven't made the wish yet. What kinds of itineraries have you done with Disney Cruise Line? We've sailed out of Park Canaveral, Miami, San Juan, Vancouver for Alaska, and our new one |
| 1:52.3 | for the concierge was out of San Diego. Oh, nice. So you went on concierge for the first time of |
| 1:57.3 | the wonder. That is going to be, that's a tough act to follow. That is a tough act to follow. All right. For our listeners out there, I was actually exchanging messages back and forth with another creator recently who hasn't done concierge. And I recommended to him the wonder. And he asked why. And I said, because it's got the best lounge in the fleet just behind the Wish, but it has far fewer rooms of concierge |
| 2:19.7 | than the Wish or the Fantasy or the Dream. So you still get that like really intimate attention. |
| 2:23.3 | So what a what a way to start concierge's experience. That was the same mistake we made out of |
| 2:28.0 | when Brian says mistake. He means it was so awesome. And we, you know, comparing it on other ships is just hard |
| 2:36.1 | because the wonder experience is so amazing. Yeah. So had great hosts. And you probably |
