But when we were lining up to get, you know, announced on board,

I actually hadn't told my husband that that was happening

because I wanted his raw reaction.

But all of the families were like,

what is going on?

People did not buy into it.

They were like, this is very odd.

Why are these people clapping us onto this boat?

Yeah. why are these people clapping us onto this boat? Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL duo podcast brought to you by my

path unwinding travel. And Sam is unfortunately not with me today. She had to be in court today. I think many of you listeners out there know we are both lawyers, but Sam is the kind that occasionally has to put the suit on and head down to the courthouse. And so she is in court today. But that will not deter me from recording a show, and I hope it will not deter

you from listening to this show because we've got a really fun show coming. But even in Sam's

absence, I'm going to read one of our reviews on the air, and I'm sure that maybe I can force

her to go back and listen to it later. But this review comes from S-Schools 42, who writes,

Thanks, Brian and Sam.

Brian and Sam do a great job covering all aspects of DCL. They are entertaining and handle differing opinions with authenticity and grace while remaining positive in the aggregate. I love listening to the wide variety of guests, sharing their stories and experience. Thanks, DCL Duo, for all you do. Well, thank you for that review. We really, really appreciate it. And for all of you listening out there,

if you'd like to hear a review at the top of our show

that you have written,

head over a time. duo for all you do. Well, thank you for that review. We really, really appreciate it. And for all of you

listening out there, if you'd like to hear a review at the top of our show that you have written,

head over to Apple Podcasts, hit those five stars, leave us a written review. We will read it at top of the show. Of course, you can always just hit the five stars anyway and not leave a written review, and that is still helpful to us. But with that, I am really, really excited for this episode because we've got a couple

people lined up, but Bailey here, our guest, who I'm going to introduce is one of the first that we're going to be talking to who took one of the cruises on the Disney Wonder down under in Australia and New Zealand. And so I want to welcome Bailey all the way from Wellington, New Zealand to our show. Welcome, Bailey. Shonda, thank you for for having me. I am, I can't tell you how excited I am about this, because I don't know that we're going to get a chance to experience these cruises ourselves. Definitely not this year, probably not next year. But I am so curious what the perspective is of folks who live in Australia and New Zealand on Disney Cruise Line and the Disney Wonder and and all of these great sailings. But before we dive into that, we always like to get folks

cruising background.
