We then touch on his experiences on the ship, including dining, onboard entertainment, spending time on the pool deck, and the immersive theming that DCL has created on the Wonder.

Steve and his family headed to the island of Oahu this past Spring Break, where they spent a week on the island and 5 nights at Aulani. Before checking into Aulani, they visited the U.S.S. Missouri, took surf lessons on the North Shore, visited Laniakea Beach to see the turtles, explored the old town of Hale’iwa, and even dropped in at Dole Plantation for some Dole Whip. They then checked into Aulani for the last 5 days in the Islands. We discuss the check in process, the Aulani App (which actually works now), dining options, favorite lounges, running and walking paths of Ko’Olina, thoughts on their 1 bedroom villa, and of course all the fun you can have in the pools and around the Aulani Resort. So grab your sunglasses, your reef friendly sun spray, and don’t forget your Rubber Slippers (flip flops), we’re headed out for adventure around the Island of Oahu and the Beautiful Aulani Resort and Spa.

Adam joins us again this week to discuss his Fall Cruise to New England aboard the Norwegian Breakaway. It’s fun every now and then to compare other cruise lines and sailing opportunities beyond DCL, especially sailings at Ports which you’re unable to generally stop at, because DCL rarely sails there. Adam does a great job showcasing the differences in planning for an NCL cruise vs DCL, along with differences in boarding, dining, onboard entertainment, the Spa, and stateroom amenities. We then touch on each of the ports and what they had planned there. So pack your bags, and grab your car keys (its nice not to have to fly to FL for every cruise), we’re headed up to beautiful New England aboard the Norwegian Breakaway.
