Summary

Michelle joins us this week to share her family's experience on their first every Disney Cruise Line cruise - a 7-night Eastern Caribbean sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy. Come here all about Michelle's first impressions of DCL from short excursions, to food, to shows and Castaway Cay. Michelle definitely encoutered some hiccups along the way, but was also pleasantly surprised by the onboard offerings and Castaway Cay, including the vegetarian food she experienced onboard. All that and so much more on this episode of the podcast!

and we saw believe.

0:01.8

I know it's not your favorite.

0:03.2

My husband really liked it.

0:05.2

You know, I think I had played it down because I said, oh, you know, on the DCL DILDil podcast, she says this is her least favorite.

0:32.6

Yeah. Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel.

0:37.4

And Sam, we got a review to read this week, as always, as I hope the reviews just keep coming in. This week's review comes from Jenny Kilmer who writes favorite Disney Cruise podcast. Brian and Sam do an amazing job with their guest selection and variety of topics have been listening to them from the start and will continue to do so as long as they keep making content. Love the banter they have with their guests and each other. Hope to see you

0:54.2

on a future cruise. Well, thank you very much, Jenny. We hope to see you out there on a future cruise.

0:59.0

And Sam, I would say our guest selection today is no exception. We've got a really fun topic to

1:03.3

cover, right? Yeah. I'm super excited. As everyone knows, I love talking to first time cruisers. They

1:08.9

give just such a great perspective because the things that we tend to take for granted and forget to even talk about are the things that they always want to talk about.

1:18.2

And it's always helpful for other first-time cruisers who are perhaps finding our show for the very first time and wanting to get more information about what to expect on their cruise.

1:28.0

So today's guest is no exception. She is a now silver member of the Castaway Club.

1:35.6

But she was not long ago a first time cruiser and also found our podcast while preparing

1:42.3

for her first cruise on Disney Cruise Line. So welcome to the show,

1:46.7

Michelle. Welcome, Michelle. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. Yeah. And you come from our

1:51.7

northern neighbor, a Canadian. So that's always nice to have someone. We had a nice pre-show

1:57.0

conversation about my favorite beverage, Tobocico, which apparently is not a thing in

2:02.8

Canada, although I bet it is in places that maybe have Costco, but not a thing, at least in the

2:08.3

grocery stores. And so Michelle didn't know that my, she thought it maybe like was an iced tea

2:13.0

drink. And it's, I'm going to tell people who are listening, if you don't know what Topo Chico is, it is a fizzy water, is a mineral water akin to a Perrier or a Pellegrino.

2:23.1

It's not quite as mineral-y as either of them.

2:26.3

And it has tiny bubbles.
