Summary

We’re back from a 7-night sailing aboard Virgin Voyages with our friends Tracy and Michael—aka the DCL Duo Sr.—and we’re diving into the full experience. It was their first time sailing with Virgin, and our second, so we’re comparing notes, sharing hot takes, and exploring how Virgin stacks up to Disney Cruise Line. This adults-only voyage took us to Puerto Plata, Grand Turk, and Bimini, and gave us a chance to experience Scarlet Night, drag brunch, elevated dining, and some truly unique entertainment. Was it love at first sail for Tracy and Michael? Did we still love our second go-round? And how does cruising without kids feel for seasoned DCL veterans? Tune in as we break down the itinerary, the vibe, the pros and cons, and the big question: would we do it again?

The trend that happening in chat is a call for a DCL duo Virgin Voyages podcast.

0:05.1

Chris, I am not opposed.

0:07.4

I will just say that.

0:20.2

Welcome back, everybody, to this week's live episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by

0:24.7

my path unwinding travel. And Sam, we're back. We're back. You're muted. Now you're not muted.

0:32.1

Now you're not muted. You are unmuted. You were unmuted. Yes. Sorry. I'm so happy to be back. I have to apologize to those of you who

0:41.6

were here on YouTube three hours ago looking for this show. That was my fault. I had posted on

0:49.9

our Facebook and on all our socials about tonight's show. And of course, I'm a little jet lagged.

0:58.0

And so I wrote down 5.30 p.m. Eastern, 8.30 p.m. Pacific. But it's the opposite. And I don't know how

1:05.2

I got them in my head. So sorry, everyone. We are wearing, we are wearing, Sam's got her ship happens. That's S-H-I-P for everyone listening to this afterwards. I'm trying to enunciate that one. Ship happens. T-shirt on from Virgin Voice. I, of course, am rocking the smoking jacket. Some of you may have seen on Instagram from Scarlet Night. And, yeah, we... The PJ Party, Brian. Oh, the PJ Party, sure. But it could have gone for Scarlet Night, too. Could have gone for Scarlet Night as well. And I... Sorry, it's been a week, and we're a little jetlighted. I've completely forgot to say this bonus episode, live show is also brought to you by the good folks over at WDW magazine. Our live show sponsor, really appreciate the great folks over there.

1:45.1

And so we're going to actually have them on here later in August for some fun kind of special

1:50.1

live shows that we're excited to share with you, but we can't talk about what they're about yet.

1:55.4

So, yeah.

1:56.5

Look for a couple of live shows in August that are going to be on our non- Mondays. These are going to be

2:03.3

additional bonus episodes, not replacing the Monday episode. So we will have one missed episode at the

2:10.7

end of this month because we'll be on our Alaska cruise. But we are going to have some,

2:16.6

as Brian said some bonus bonus episodes on some non-Monday

2:20.7

nights.

2:21.3

So look out for those.

2:21.9

That's right.

2:22.4

But thank you to the folks over at WDW magazine.
