Kaitie and Lake just returned from a 7 day cruise to Alaska aboard the Norwegian Bliss. This was a round trip sailing out of Seattle featuring stops in Sitka, Juneau (with a sailing up Endicott Arm toward Dawes Glacier), Icy Straight Point, Ketchikan, and Victoria British Columbia. During their sailing they sat down several times to discuss their experiences as they sailed through some of the most beautiful parts of North America. So if you’re ready to head North, pack your water proof shoes, your layered clothes, and don’t forget your camera and binoculars to take in the amazing scenery…we’re headed off to Alaska aboard the Norwegian Bliss. Don’t forget to check out all of Kaitie and Lake’s adventure at their YouTube Channel. http://www.youtube.com/mousegen Connect with Steve, Christy, Nova, and Lake: steve@dclpodcast.com christy@packyourpixiedust.com novabrightwilliams@gmail.com mousegenblog@gmail.com Follow the DCL Podcast via: http://www.facebook.com/dclpodcast http://www.instagram.com/dcl_podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFg4roSA0yy1qnCySn4tTdQ Support our show via Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/dclpodcast Book your next Vacation with Christy: http://www.packyourpixiedust.com

Tim and Amber join us this week to discuss their family’s experiences sailing to Bermuda for the first time, aboard the Disney Fantasy. Most DCL Bermuda cruises leave from New York, but this was a rare (and hopefully it will become standard) sailing to Bermuda out of Port Canaveral. This cruise featured an overnight stop in Bermuda, allowing them to explore this island for 2 full days. We discuss their thoughts on what Bermuda had to offer, what they experienced, and if they would book a return sailing to this amazing port of call (spoiler alert…pretty sure the answer is a definite yes:)). So if you’re ready to sail to one of the gems in the cruising world, then pack your bags and lets get onboard the beautiful Disney Fantasy, we’re sailing to Bermuda.

With the Wonder set to sail to Australia and New Zealand next Fall, we wanted to bring this show to you, from Brett and his family as they sailed there last Christmas aboard Norwegian.

So if you’re ready for an adventure of a lifetime, let’s set sail around Australia and New Zealand, with Brett and his family.

Alaska, with its amazing scenery, vibrant wild life, and once in a life time port adventures, has become the cruise many family’s remember most when they look back on their travels. As the Disney Wonder heads north this week to begin another season of sailing to Alaska, we wanted to take the time to help you and your family prepare for your cruise this Summer, or get you thinking about booking one of these amazing sailings in the future. We touch on what makes Alaska special (glaciers, wild life, and scenery), a little bit about the Wonder if you haven’t sailed her before, what to expect during your day sailing to the glaciers, and then highlights of each port stop, and what we have planned this year. So if you’re ready to head up to the the Great White North… pack your fleece, rain jackets, shorts, and don’t forget your sun tan lotion (yes really, don’t forget you’re sun tan lotion), we’re headed out to explore Alaska on the beautiful Disney Wonder.
