Creator's Key Takeaways

It was great. I was really impressed with just how kind of it's it's got kind of a opulence to it just because of the Agriba theming and everything.

Anchante was amazing and I I do want to shout out a couple things because so I uh about halfway through Anchante I started not feeling great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't overbook yourself with activities; there's so much to do that you can get exhausted.
Use waiting time at the port to log into the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.
Book adult dining reservations even if it only lets you book for one person; you'll be fine when you show up.
Go to adult dining with an empty stomach due to the number of courses and rich food.

YouTube Video Description

Brett joins the DCL Duo to share his very first cruise ever — a 7-night sailing aboard the Disney Treasure — and spoiler alert… he’s officially hooked. 🚢✨ In this episode, Brett walks us through what made the Disney Treasure the perfect ship for a first cruise, from immersive spaces like Haunted Mansion Parlor and Skipper Society to standout dining experiences at Coco, 1923, Enchante, and Palo Brunch. We talk adult-focused cruising on Disney Cruise Line, what it’s really like sailing without kids onboard, how easy embarkation and planning were for a first-time cruiser, and why the Treasure’s entertainment lineup — including Beauty and the Beast, Moana, and Indiana Jones: Choose Wisely — absolutely delivered (even with a few real-world tech hiccups). Brett also shares smart strategies for port days, spa time vs. excursions, why staying onboard can be underrated, and how the Disney Treasure completely exceeded expectations when it came to food quality, service, and onboard atmosphere. Whether you’re cruise-curious, Disney-curious, or planning your first sailing, this episode is packed with honest insight and practical tips from a true first-timer. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation! ⸻ 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!
