2 Disney Adventure Sailings - One Cancelled; One Amazing Redemption Experience - Family Memories Forever - BOGP 2910

We are very excited to have Listeners Luke and Tash joining us from all the way down in Perth, Australia for today's show! Today, we discussed their back-to-back sailings of the Disney Adventure back in May! (However, the first sailing was cut short after 24 hours, when the cruise was abruptly cancelled and all guests had to disembark.) We hear all about what it was like to be on this brand-new ship in the DCL fleet and then the logistics of getting around 6,000 guests off the ship and into hotels with little-to-no advanced notice and how Disney Cruise Line did all they could to make a bad situation tolerable. Then, we get to hear about their 3-night cruise that luckily did get to sail! We hear about the entertainment, dining, public space, character interactions, staterooms, and much more!  We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse!
