0:00.0	It's sort of self-directed when you're on board in Antarctica in a lot of these destinations as opposed to a strict schedule.
0:07.4	I can't tell Sam, would this be's edition of the DCL Duo podcast. And this evening, we're going to return to our routes back to cruising after a little bit of a break.
0:38.0	But we are not returning directly to Disney cruising.
0:41.0	We're going to take a roundabout path back into cruising with some exciting announcements that came out recently from Adventures by Disney,
0:47.9	that they are starting into the expedition cruising market with some cruising to both the Arctic and the Galapagos Islands.
0:56.7	And so we reached out and found a wonderful guest who has experience both with expedition cruising,
1:03.5	but also with the cruise line that Adventures by Disney is going to be using for some of these
1:08.1	expedition cruises.
1:09.3	And so let us start, as always, by welcoming our
1:12.1	guest John to the show. Welcome, John. Hi, Brian. Hi, Sam. Hi, thanks for coming. We're so excited to chat with
1:18.2	you. Yeah, it's great to be talking travel again, even if it is from our homes. And we've been on

1:37.9	The reason John is such a fantastic guest to have on board is not only because he has a lot of
1:41.7	experience in this space, but also because
1:45.4	John writes about this space. So he is a contributor to Quarky Cruises, which, or Quirky Cruise, I should
1:52.1	say, Quirky Cruise.com, which you'll recall we had a guest on our show, Heidi from Quirky
1:57.1	Cruz, talking about small ship cruising. And John also has his own travel blog
2:01.4	in the loop travel and contributes to many other publications like Cruise Critics. So John is a
2:06.2	prolific cruise and travel writer. And so we're looking forward to hearing his experiences. John,
2:11.3	let's start with your background. How did you, where did you fall in love with cruising?
