Summary

Brett joins the DCL Duo to share his first cruise ever, a 7-night sailing aboard the Disney Treasure — and it didn’t take long for him to fall in love with Disney Cruise Line. In this episode, Brett breaks down why the Treasure felt like the perfect choice for a first-time cruiser, from immersive ship design and standout adult spaces to exceptional dining and Broadway-caliber entertainment. We talk about sailing Disney as an adult-only couple, navigating planning as a first-timer, and why food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded expectations. You’ll hear detailed impressions of Coco, 1923, Worlds of Marvel, Enchante, and Palo Brunch, plus thoughts on the Treasure’s entertainment lineup including Beauty and the Beast, Moana, and Indiana Jones: Choose Wisely. Brett also shares smart port-day strategies, spa experiences, and why staying onboard can sometimes be the best move. If you’re cruise-curious or planning your first Disney Cruise Line sailing, this episode is packed with real-world insight and practical advice. Listen now and join the conversation!

0:04.0

Oh my God, it hurts so bad.

0:06.0

To me, it hurt in a good way because I probably needed it.

0:08.9

I don't get massages very often.

0:10.8

So I'm sure my body appreciated the torture a little bit. Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL duo podcast brought to you by my Path Unwinding Travel.

And Sam, do your jingle.

Oh, God, that was terrible.

0:43.6

I got to do that over again.

Take this week's five-star review

comes from Courtney Brook 91.

0:51.3

He writes Disney podcast at its best. Sam and Brian seem genuinely passionate about

0:56.7

Disney Cruise Line. If you want honest and positive reviews, check them out. I appreciate the

amount of weekly podcasts they produce. It makes my long commute to work more enjoyable.

1:06.3

Oh, love that. There you go, Sam. Sorry about my cracked voice today. I don't know what it.

We're recording earlier in the morning. I feel like we usually, I mean, it's not early in the morning. It's 10 a.m. here in Seattle. But we, we normally, I feel like record like two in the afternoon.

I'm glad that our passion for Disney Cruise Line comes through because otherwise we should not be putting out two shows a week about the cruise line. And sometimes three, Brian. I think this last week. No, we only had one. I got off schedule because of work.

So you can do the math when this episode comes out. But yeah, work out the better of me. So, yes, I'm going to have to release a show this weekend to get our regular episode up. But we've got a fun show to talk about right now. So, why don't you introduce our guest and what we're going to be talking about?
