We're back with another installment of Point-Counterpoint; where we take two sides of a Disney Cruise Line topic, and our Patreons get to decide who wins! On this episode were discussing whether now is the right time to book a cruise on DCL's newest ship: the Wish. With everything new, why wouldn't you? Well, the price for one. Could now be a good time to save a little money by sailing on Disney's legacy fleet?  What about destinations, and length of sailings?  So many reasons you may or may not want to book a cruise on the Wish right now!
