YouTube Video Description

Kelly’s back—and this time she’s bringing fireworks, fancy flutes, and a whole lot of family! Sam is solo hosting to welcome returning guest and platinum Disney cruiser Kelly to chat about her 7-night New Year’s sailing aboard the Disney Treasure. This episode is packed with insights for first-timers and Treasure fans alike—from food allergy travel tips to epic excursions in Cozumel, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Castaway Cay.   Kelly shares what it’s like wrangling 18 guests across five staterooms, why Palo brunch in a private room might ruin you for life, and which Treasure venues topped her list (spoiler alert: she’s all-in on The Rose, Soul Cat Lounge, and Tale of Moana). Plus, we’re talking fireworks on back-to-back nights, teens storming soft-serve machines, spa days, scavenged conch shells, and those elusive New Year’s Eve Corksicle flutes. We also get Kelly’s picks for her favorite (and least favorite) restaurants on the Treasure, the onboard Imagineering tour you can’t miss, and her honest take on the Marvel dining experience. If you’re eyeing a holiday cruise or just dreaming of the Treasure’s immersive details, this is a can’t-miss episode!
