0:00.0	I've been on 32 cruises now, which I, okay, I know it sounds ridiculous.
0:04.7	I know it sounds insane.
0:26.0	Welcome back, everybody, to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast.
0:32.9	And today we are really excited to have with us, Emma from the UK, who runs the blog called Cruising isn't just for old people.
0:35.5	And I should stop and say that is an award-winning blog.
0:38.3	And Emma also runs a vlog channel on YouTube called Emma Cruises.
0:43.3	And so Emma is an extensive cruise commentator and cruiser herself.
0:47.3	And we are really excited to have Emma on the show this week.
0:50.3	Welcome, Emma.
0:51.3	Thank you so much for having me.
0:53.3	A silly website name, I do admit, but yeah.
0:58.2	It's a great website name and we agree with the statement. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of too late now,
1:05.2	so I'm sticking with it at this point, but I do appreciate it as a bit strange and it's very

I know you haven't cruised on Disney Cruise Line, but have you been to Disney or the Disney parks at all?

I've never been to the American one, but I've been to Hong Kong. For some reason, that's where my parents chose to take me when I was eight.
1:38.0	Oh, wow. Amazing. It was so cool. The strangest place in the world. I don't know if you've done much traveling in Asia and just everything about everything. Even if you just get a drink from a vending machine or you just, you get a snack. Everything is just interesting. And it's Disney at the same time. So it was, it was so cool. Oh, cool. We have not been to any of the Asian parks. We would love to go someday.
2:01.7	But we have acquired. So the Asian parks are famous because they're popcorn buckets are some of the most unique popcorn buckets in the Disney system.
2:08.7	Oh, really? Yeah, they have got really fun-themed popcorn buckets. And so I've ordered several on eBay for our collection, but yeah.
2:15.8	I didn't know that where they went, but yeah.
2:18.5	Well, Emma, I wanted to start off before you dive into, I want to learn more about your blog,
2:22.8	but before we dive into the blog, I think it'd be helpful for people to understand kind of
