Creator's Key Takeaways

The kids clubs you don't really compare but of course nothing on the sea compares to the oceaners clubs on Disney.

We were silver members on this extremely competitive sailing... we got blown out of pretty much everything right away.

The Moana show... the way it consumes the whole theater, the puppetry. Extremely impressive.

Disney provides everything that our family needs right now. From itinerary to new ships to the Disney experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get in the Palo brunch line first on embarkation day.
Use Disney transportation for luggage pickup and streamlined check-in.
Consider port-day Palo brunch for better availability.

YouTube Video Description

From Princess to Treasure: Larry’s Disney Cruise Line Deep Dive In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by Larry, who’s fresh off an Eastern Caribbean sailing aboard the Disney Treasure. Larry shares what it was like to cruise with extended family—including his kids and their grandparents—and how Disney’s latest ship stacked up to other cruise lines he’s sailed, including Princess and the ultra-premium Seabourn. We cover everything from the kids’ club experience and rotational dining to standout mainstage shows like Moanaand Beauty and the Beast. Larry doesn’t hold back when comparing Princess’s Camp Discovery to Disney’s Oceaneer Club—and he even breaks down what you actually get for the high price tag of the Adventure Tea. Larry also talks about multi-generational cruising, his favorite (and least favorite) dining venues, and what cruise destinations are still on his bucket list. If you’ve ever wondered how Disney Cruise Line stacks up against the competition, this episode offers a thoughtful and honest perspective from someone who’s done both.   Book Your Next Disney Cruise Line Vacation Head over to our show sponsor My Path Unwinding Travel (https://mypathunwinding.com/dclduo)   DCL Magazine – Your Ultimate Guide to Disney Cruise Line Tips & Tricks Join the waitlist for DCL Magazine (https://dcl-magazine.com/) and use promo code DCLDUO for 10% off at the WDW Magazine store!   Stay Connected with the DCL Duo Website (https://dclduo.com/) | Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/dcl_duo/) | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/DCLDuo) | Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/dclduo)   We’re listed alongside some other great Disney podcasts at: Top 100 Disney Podcasts (https://blog.feedspot.com/disney_podcasts/) | Top 20 Cruise Podcasts (https://blog.feedspot.com/cruise_podcasts/) | Top 30 Disney Cruise Line Podcasts (https://blog.feedspot.com/disney_cruise_line_podcasts/)   Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are our own and do not reflect the views of the Walt Disney Company, Disney Cruise Line, or any other travel provider discussed or mentioned.
