Summary

In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by guest Amy to talk all about her Verry Merrytime sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny. Amy shares what it’s really like to celebrate the holidays at sea on Disney’s latest ship, from the festive onboard atmosphere to how the Verry Merrytime experience compares to other Disney Cruise Line sailings. We dig into first impressions of the Disney Destiny, holiday theming throughout the ship, seasonal entertainment and dining, and what stood out most about cruising during the most wonderful (and busiest) time of the year.
