Summary

It's Transatlantic week here at the DCL Duo!! We're bringing you two great trip reports from two different families who sailed on Disney Cruise Line's eastbound transatlantic crossing aboard the Disney Dream. It was the Dream's first time back in Europe since a drydock several years ago, and she hasn't been back to some of these ports since she was built. We wanted to know with so many sea days, was there enough onboard to keep folks interested? So we were so excited when Jessica reached out to be a guest on the show and share her family's experience on this amazing 13-night itinerary. We talked to Jessica about what she got up to onboard and some of the amazing shore excursions she did on the back-end of the sailing. Come find out if an extended voyage on DCL might be right for you!!
