Creator's Key Takeaways

I went on my first cruise in October 2021 since then I've been on a handful of cruises I think five or six now

the sailing party is me and my wife and then we have two kids our son Eli is six our daughter Macy is three

we had a seven night Alaskan cruise on Royal Caribbean in August um and the kids loved it

I don't get why people make such a big deal about them saying your name in The Atrium

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go on YouTube to watch ship tours to prepare kids for the cruise
Check beach conditions in San Diego before going, as beaches can be closed due to bacterial levels
If you have young kids, consider going to Cabanas first for quick food before heading to the pool
Be aware that if your child asks for you in the kids club, staff will call you, but you can message back to delay

YouTube Video Description

Fan favorite Josh is back to share his family's recent DCL West Coast repositioning cruise on the Disney Wonder from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada. This was Josh's first time taking his kids on Disney Cruise Line, and we couldn't wait to hear whether they enjoyed the experience. We also wanted to know what it was like taking this short repositioning cruise - with only one stop in Victoria. As usual, we're talking food, onboard activities, state rooms, and so much more. Josh's hot takes are always provocative and this week's show is no exception!
