Summary
Today, we’re talking all about the brand new release from Royal Caribbean, which is now available to book – Hero of the Seas. This will be the fourth Icon Class cruise ship and all four of these sister-ships are the largest cruise ships in the world (or will be when they are all launched). However, Royal Caribbean has made some pretty incredible upgrades from Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas that we are really excited to check out. One of the best, is the largest, most amazing suite we have ever seen on a cruise ship before…The Ultimate Family Treehouse. This suite sleeps 12 and spans three decks high. Okay, let’s get to it…Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | No, this is not a drill, and no, this is not an April Fool's joke. |
| 0:04.5 | Royal Caribbean just announced their newest icon class ship launching next August. |
| 0:09.9 | Hello and welcome to a dick to the mouse. |
| 0:11.2 | Today is Wednesday, April 1st. |
| 0:14.2 | No April Fool's here. |
| 0:15.7 | We would never do that to you. |
| 0:16.8 | And you are listening to episode 785, and this is all about Royal Caribbean's brand new ship, Hero of the Seas. |
| 0:45.3 | Hey everybody, Dan and Leslie here. Thanks for joining us today. I am so excited about this new ship. |
| 0:55.5 | Like, they announced it. And I mean, like, this is, I'm like got the butterflies, like the, the, oh my goodness, I can't wait for the ship to come out feelings. Um, because, you know, I mean, we, we did icon and icon's icon was great. It was fine, |
| 1:02.5 | but it was really our first Royal Caribbean experience. And so we probably should give it another go at |
| 1:07.5 | some point. But then we did Star and we're going back on Star and I'm jumping |
| 1:13.2 | ahead. Yeah, we're going to get into all of this stuff. Let's, do we have any, I know we do. What is our |

| 1:25.7 | Disney has announced that there is a specially priced after 2 p.m. |
| 1:30.0 | ticket for early summer. This is going to be start dates from May 26th to July 29th. And just like |
| 1:39.5 | it sounds, it provides you admission to one theme park each day after 2 p.m. |
| 1:44.2 | So you can choose from two and three day tickets. |
| 1:47.3 | Once again, not park hopper. |
| 1:49.3 | So you can only do one theme park per day after 2 p.m. |
| 1:52.8 | I'm trying to. |
| 1:55.3 | So I would understand if you could buy one and then do like the day that you arrive if you don't want to go to a water park this summer because that's included if you're staying at a Disney resort. |
| 2:06.6 | Or maybe you're just flying in and you're not doing any parks, like a big park package. You're like going to a cruise or something. |
