It's just like, I'm shocked every time we go on celebrity, like how accommodating they are to our kids.

0:07.2

Like, my littlest guy occasionally will fall asleep at dinner, you know, because he refuses to nap, but really still needs a nap.

0:14.3

And then like on two separate cruises, totally different cruises, totally different staff, the next night, they had like a pillow in his

chairs. Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my

Path Unwinding Travel. As you can tell from my voice doing the show intro instead of Brian,

I am solo today. Brian is unfortunately ill and unable to join me for this recording. However,

0:50.6

I'm not by myself. I have a lovely guest joining me today to talk about some compare,
