And the elevator was a little bit jerky and kind of scared my daughter a couple of times.

I've had nightmares of being on one of those European elevators and getting off and trying to get all the bags off and then watching the door close.

It goes back to the lobby with the luggage. Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my

Path Unwinding Travel and Sam, you want more accolades, more reviews, more stars, all the things,

right?

That's right. Well, you know,

I'm giving myself a reward in advance. I'm drinking a Topo Chico right now, you know, to reward myself,

even though I haven't gotten the verbal reward I'm going to get right now from a five-star

review on Apple Podcasts. Well, here you go. Yes, we have many of them to clear through the backlog.

I should say this one's coming in from January of this year. So we've got a lot to get through. We've not been as diligent on reading them at the end of the show as we said we would be. And so I've decided to build them into the front of the show as a way to really thank folks who are leaving us these wonderful reviews. they provide us with a lot of energy and encouragement.

So this one comes from The Real Anne, who writes, awesome, DCL duo. Always look forward to seeing this podcast in my feed, positivity, and knowledge about DCL and beyond is abundant. Thank you. So there you go, Sam. Awesome. Thank you. Short sweet, to the point, but energizing nonetheless.

Thank you, the real and we love you too, and we're happy that you're real and not fake.

Yes.

We're only inviting now someone to come and review the fake Anne.

So thank you to the real Ann for that fabulous review.

But I digress.

We've got a great show for you today.

Sam, you want to talk about our fabulous guest and what we're going to be talking about? Yeah, I'm excited because we're going

back over across the pond to Europe to talk about a Western European itinerary. I feel like

we've been covering the Northern European itineraries quite a bit. We've done a couple of, you know,

Med Cruises as well, but this is an awesome itinerary. We haven't had anybody on yet to talk

about this particular one. And so I want to welcome Eric to the show. Thanks for joining us,
