Ep. 228 - There's A Party Going On Right Here: Our Wish Maiden Voyage (Part 1)

The time has arrived for the DCL Duo's review of the Wish, Disney Cruise Line's newest ship. We decided to enlist the help of some of our sailing companions to get a diversity of opinion about the new ship. We have a ton of ground to cover from staterooms, to main dining, to adult dining experiences, bars, shows, pools, the AquaMouse and so much more. We had a busy (but fun) five days and did nearly everything we could onboard. We did so much, we split this review into two episodes. So buckle-up, it's about to get real!! If you are looking to book your next Disney Cruise, have been thinking about sailing concierge, have been eying an Adventures by Disney Trip, or are interested in what other kinds of vacations might be available, then head over to My Path Unwinding Travel so Karen and her team of expert travel professionals can help you find the perfect vacation for you and your family.  Karen and her team are knowledgeable, responsive and welcoming and we are so excited to have them as a sponsor of your show!
