Creator's Key Takeaways

The essential DCL podcast. I have been listening to the DCL duo for some years now and find them to be the experts on DCL.

I would say the kids the kids really did enjoy it. Um, for this excursion, it was just, uh, the four of us, my parents did the bass, uh, and they really enjoyed that excursion

Definitely Disney wins out I think on all of the obvious fronts. I mean, the kids clubs you don't really compare, but of course, nothing on the sea compares to the Oceaners clubs on Disney.

I think everybody had a great time. Uh yeah, there's there's a bunch more. We did. We did the Bibby Boutique. We did the Royal Gathering. We did the Adventure the Adventure T.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get in the Palo brunch line first thing upon boarding.
If you want a port day Palo brunch, your odds of getting one are pretty good even if the line is long.
Use Disney transportation for luggage pickup and organized check-in at the resort.

YouTube Video Description

From kids clubs to cruise cuisine—Larry breaks down Disney vs. Princess after his Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Disney Treasure. On this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re talking with Larry, who just returned from a multi-generational sailing aboard the Disney Treasure. We get his take on everything from the ship’s new shows (Moana blew everyone away), to dining experiences across 1923, Marvel, and Coco, and why the Adventure Tea might be better in theory than taste. Larry also shares how Disney’s Oceaneer Club compares to Princess’s Camp Discovery, how different cruise lines approach family experiences, and what Disney Cruise Line gets right—for now. Spoiler: Seabourn isn’t in the same league, but it’s in the back of his mind. We wrap with some rapid fire favorites, including his love for Flight of the Navigator, risotto over steak, and his dream DCL itinerary to the Galápagos. 📍 Listen now and join the conversation!
