139 Mar 6, 2020 Sailing of the Disney Wonder through the Panama Canal
Sarah joins us this week to discuss her family’s Westbound sailing on the Disney Wonder through the Panama Canal. As fortune would have it, this was also the last DCL sailing before they temporarily suspended operations due to the Corona Virus. We have a fun time learning about their time in New Orleans, their experience passing through the Panama Canal, and all of the ship board fun they experienced during their extended number of Sea Days. Sarah does a great job talking about how her family, the crew, the Officers, and their Cruise Directors did, as they were faced with the day to day changes of their itinerary. So sit back, relax, as we look back on this very extraordinary, bucket list cruise.
