Frank joins us again this week to discuss his sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy through the Southern Caribbean. This is definitely a bucket list cruise for a lot of cruisers and family’s, so we spend most of our focus talking about the islands he visited and what they had planned. He and his wife Karen have travelled through these islands several times, so it was fun to talk with him about some of the things they’ve experienced in the past as well. So if you’re ready for a cruise of a lifetime? It’s time to set sail through the ABC, ‘er ACB islands on the beautiful Disney Fantasy.

Mark and Diane are back to discuss not one cruise, not two cruises, but their three cruises they recently sailed on aboard the Disney Wish. We’ve talked to many people who were lucky to sail on back to back cruises, but when we heard they sailed on three in a row, we knew we needed to get them back on the podcast to hear all about this unique experience. We have a fun time hearing about all the fun they had onboard the Wish, dining experiences they loved, whether they moved cabins, and much more. We finish it off with the experiences they had while in port in Nassau, along with with Castaway Cay. So if you’re ready for a unique adventure, get those bags packed for not just one, but three cruises….we’re headed out in search of Pirates and Adventure aboard the beautiful Disney Wish.
