Summary

We're catching up with our friends Drew and Hayley, who you may remember from our Norway Cruise, to hear all about their first time aboard the Disney Wish! As two adults sailing onboard, we couldn't wait to hear their thoughts on some of the adult spaces, the food, the activities, the pool area and, of course, the shows! Drew and Hayley are avid Disney and Disney Cruise Line fans, so we also wanted to hear their perspective on DCL's latest ship! All that and more on this week's episode!!

Haley, we have to throw this to you because you're the showperson. No offense, Drew. Not that we don't care what you think about shows, but I care what Haley thinks more.

0:08.4

Let's go get a drink in hyperspace lounge. We'll be back in about 10 minutes. You guys go to hooks and get an old fashion. Yeah, go make yourselves an old fashion. Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel.

0:50.2

to the show. Haley, welcome back to the show from long, long ago, I suppose. Welcome back, guys. Thanks. Thanks. Glad to be back. Thank you. Yeah, I made a brief cameo on your trip recap from the Norwegian Fjord sailing, but it has been a while. Well, we're here to talk about your recent sailing, like very recent sailing, on the Disney Wish. And we're so excited because we love to have folks on who have sailed the other ships and then go on the Wish. We also, spoiler alert, love to have people who've never sailed Disney who are going on the Wish for the first time. We just love to talk about all the ships in the Disney fleet. So excited to get Drew and Haley's take on the Wish. But before we dive in, you want to remind folks about your Disney Street creds, your Disney

Cruise Line creds.

1:29.0

Maybe we'll toss that to Haley.

1:30.4

So Disney Cruise Line, our first cruise was our first cruise ever, and we've only sailed Disney.

2:14.8

because you were not supposed to be going on in the dream this summer in Europe?

2:18.8

You were supposed to be going on a different ship.

2:20.7

Yes, we were all set to sail on the Symphony of the Seas going out of Barcelona and try out Royal Caribbean, get a little bit of a different perspective.

And then last night, we were looking at booking flights and things and found like, wow, the flights to Barcelona from Charlotte, where we live, are really expensive. So we started looking into alternative cities we could fly into, found we could fly into London for
