    Ep. 412 - Bonus - We Need an Expert Opinion: Matt Hochberg from the Royal Caribbean Cruise Blog Answers Our Questions

    Matt Hochberg, founder of the Royal Caribbean Blog, joins us this week to answer all of our questions ahead of our fast-approaching sailing on RCCL's Oasis of the Seas. Matt is a Royal Caribbean expert, and we were really hoping he might help alleviate some Sam's apprehension about sailing on Royal for the first time. Matt gave us some truly great tips about dining, shows and some Royal-specific offerings we had to try (and a few he recommended we skip). If you're a Disney Cruise Line fan who's been thinking about making the jump from DCL to Royal, this is a great show for you!

    Special thanks for Paul Thornton from the Joy of Cruising for connecting us with Matt, and to Matt for taking time out of his very busy schedule to spend some time with us.

    Ep. 411 - Wishful Sailing: Wesley's Full Trip Report of His First Sailing on the DIsney Wish

    Wesley is back from his trip on the Wish and it's time to see if his fears were realized! Wesley is a seasoned Disney Cruise Line (DCL) veteran, but after sailing on Royal Caribbean he was a bit nervous about whether the Wish could live up to an Oasis-class experience, and whether some of the changes Disney implemented from the Dream-class ships to the Triton or Wish-class ships would sour him and his family to the experience. After chatting with him pre-cruise, we think we got him a bit more excited about trying out the Wish. Time to see how he and his family fared!

    You can follow along on Wesley's future adventures on Instagram and X (@DigitalDvnprt), or see some of Wesley's amazing Disney Parks photogaphy on his separate Instagram and X accounts (@v55_71).

    Wesley joins us this week in the first of a two-part series. Wesley reached out because he was a bit apprehensive about sailing on the Disney Wish. He's a seasoned Disney Cruise Line (DCL) veteran, but after sailing on Royal Caribbean he was a bit nervous about whether the Wish could live up to an Oasis-class experience, and whether some of the changes Disney implemented from the Dream-class ships to the Triton or Wish-class ships would sour him and his family to the experience. We attempt to allay some of Wesley's concerns, and, in part two later this week, we'll get to hear what Wesley thought after his sailing on the Disney Wish.
