What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I found this podcast last year prior to going on our first Disney cruise and it was so helpful in planning! I continue to listen to help (or worsen?) my itch to get back on another cruise. My only recommendation is a selfish one since I know Disney sometimes listens 😉 , and that’s to add to your list of rapid fire questions; “If you could choose the next Broadway show show to be added to a ship, what would it be?” I would LOVE to see a live production of Mulan on board! Thanks for all you do to keep bringing new information and stories for my family’s newest addiction!

As a first time cruiser (in one week!) this podcast has become invaluable in preparing for our trip! The guests they bring on are fantastic and Brian and Sam share their own personal stories that make you feel as if you’re getting advice from friends. The only disappointing thing about having our cruise in one week, is that I’ll no longer have an excuse to listen to this podcast…so I better just book a placeholder while on board!

I listen to your Podcast on my way to work and always find it very enjoyable. I’ve been on 8 DCL cruises so far but I never fail to learn something new on your show. I love your banter and insight on DCL. It has definitely made me a more informed cruiser! Keep up the good work and I will keep listening in to hear about all the cool cruises your guests are taking and daydreaming about my next Disney Cruise!

I started listening to Brian and Sam after booking our first family DCL vacation coming up this fall! Well, let’s just say I somehow convinced my husband to put a second one on the books before we have even gone on the first one soooooo the obsession has come on strong. I’m so grateful for their diverse group of guests, honest perspectives, and their genuine love of Disney magic! My personal favorite guest will always be Nathan! Thank you Brian and Sam for your commitment to the DCL community.
