Creator's Key Takeaways

It was just such a magical, right? Captain Mickey was up on the balcony waving down below and they're announcing our names.

I cannot believe that you had not been to Palo Brunch before, Casey. That's crazy.

The chicken parm 100% from Palo. No question. Just absolutely no question.

It was just breathtaking. I mean just has you could see so far. You could see the other some of the other islands.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a hotel in Vancouver the night before and use the Pan Pacific for convenience.
Take advantage of early access to the theater if sailing concierge.
For Palo Brunch, focus on pastries, flatbread, and the chicken parmesan.
