0:00.0	And then we went to the Pinnacle Grill, which is supposed to be there, I mean, it is a steakhouse.
0:04.2	That's supposed to be like the, no pun intended, the pinnacle of dining on the ship.
0:08.8	And maybe part of this is that Drew's become so good at making steak at home that I'm kind of a snob about it now.
0:14.8	But I was like just the whole time going like, you can make food with more flavor than this at our house.
0:20.4	Especially for a few bucks a person. Music time going, like, you can make food with more flavor than this at our house, especially for
0:21.0	50 bucks a person.
0:33.7	Welcome back, everybody, to another bonus episode of the DCL duo podcast brought to you by My Path Unwinding Travel. As you can tell, I am not Brian. I am your host solo today. It's Sam. And I'm excited because although I don't have Brian with me, I have a wonderful friend who we've made through this cruising community. I'm going to welcome Haley to the show. Welcome,
0:55.5	Haley. Thank you, Sam. It's good to be here. Yeah, it's actually really nice to have just the two of us,
1:01.0	because we usually have Brian and Drew with us, but today neither of them are feeling well. So we're just
1:07.7	leaving the boys at home, and it's going to be Girl talk today. Yeah, we're the new DCL duo.

1:21.5	I want to get your cruising credentials.
1:24.0	Obviously, you've been on the show many times at this point.
1:27.4	So people should be pretty
1:28.8	familiar with you. They know that you did cruise with us in the Norwegian Fjords back in September of last
1:35.5	year. But why don't you tell folks or remind folks of your cruising credentials? Sure. So we have been on,
1:42.1	I say my husband, Drew and I, but we've been on five Disney cruises. We've been on all five of the ships that are currently in the Disney fleet. And we are booked on the treasure for January 2025. So we'll have thoughts about that on down the line. So had been on five cruises before the cruise that we are going to talk about,
2:01.2	which was my sixth. And first, without it being a Disney cruise. Awesome. Now, I know the answer
2:06.9	to a lot of the questions that I'm going to ask today because I'm going to spoil this for folks
