Creator's Key Takeaways
We have sailed 37 times. Uh now by the end by the end of the year we'll be at 41.
We ended up doing um the train that was paired with uh the sled dogs and gold panning. That was so fun.
We saw bald eagles, more orcas than I can count. And we were the only boat there for the longest time.
The presentations were shorter than I remembered them being. They were 15-minute presentations, but you know, it was pretty late at night, so it was it was just the perfect ending to the evening for us.

What’s it really like to sail back-to-back on the Disney Wonder from Alaska to Hawaii? In this episode of the DCL Duo Podcast, we’re joined by longtime listener and super-fan Carin, who shares the details of her unforgettable back-to-back Disney Cruise Line adventure — from glaciers and bears in Alaska to beaches, shave ice, and volcano views in Hawaii. Carin breaks down how she planned five Disney cruises in seven weeks, including the logistics of back-to-back sailings, packing for two wildly different climates, laundry strategies onboard, and what actually happens on turnaround day. We dive into her Alaska highlights — including sled dog puppies, bear viewing in Ketchikan, and an incredible small-boat whale-watching experience in Juneau — before heading south across the Pacific to Hawaii. On the Hawaii sailing, Carin shares tips for renting cars in port, favorite beach stops on Maui and Kauai, sea turtle encounters on the Big Island, cultural enrichment onboard, and even a near pier-run moment that proves why “all aboard” times matter. We also talk favorite ships, dining, stage shows, and what’s next on her Disney Cruise Line bucket list.
