Our Cruise to Alaska on the Disney Wonder | Pre-Trip Report | Addicted to the Mouse: Disney Podcast | Disney World, Universal, & Cruise Vacation Planning Podcast

Ep. 312 - Bonus - Check Engine Light: The Wish Breaks Down in Nassau: The Disney Wish recently experienced a "techincal issue" that delayed her arrival in Nassau and caused her to overnight in Nassau for repairs. A planned stop at Castaway Cay was also cut from the itinerary, although Disney Cruise Line cited weather as the cause, despite a late departure out Nassau the same day she was due at Castaway on the three-nigh Bahamian itinerary. Guests onboard were offered a $100 onboard credit per stateroom, and a 20% Future Cruise Credit (FCC). There's been some disagreement online about whether that compensation was reasonable, especially for folks who might not be able to sail DCL again before the FCC expires in two years. We're chatting with Nick, who was onboard the sailing, to hear what happened and get his reactions on how Disney handled the situation. We're also giving our own thoughts on what DCL could have done better. All that and more on this week's bonus episode. If you want t by DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast

Ep. 279 - Bonus - Welcome Home: A DVC Member Cruise to Alaska: On this week's bonus episode, Brooke is sharing her family's experience with the 2022 DVC Member Cruise to Alaska on Disney Wonder. DVC member cruises are a unique opportunity for lots of member extras and events as Disney Vacation Club and Disney Cruise Line join forces for these unique sailings. This member cruise was also unique because it went to Alaska - many of the DVC sailings are shorter cruises, so it's always fun to hear what a longer seven-night sailing offers. We're chatting about all the fun gifts, activities and special guests onboard. Since Brooke is also a journalist covering all things Disney, including the cruise line, we couldn't resist getting her feedback on the Disney Wish, and DCL's recent acquisition of the Global Dream, as we all as her hopes for the forthcoming Disney Treasure. All that and more on this week's bonus show! If you'd like to connect with Brooke, her fabulous writing on the parks and by DCL Duo Podcast: A Disney Cruise Line Fan Podcast
