  • My mental daily getaway

    I’ve been listening to this poscast every day for the last several months during my lunch break walk. This is the only thing that gets me out there some days. I can’t wait to hear about everyone’s experiences and adventures on DCL. For that short period of time it makes me feel like I’m along for the ride. And it’s also made me book 2 DCL cruises (my 1st ones): Western Caribbean on the Treasure in December 2025 and Alska on the Magic August 2026!!!

  • My thoughts

    Needs improvement with audio. Sometimes they guess are barely. Christy is very opinionated, but just doesn’t do a good job of expressing her opinion in a constructive way. She’s more of an annoyance. Please bring back Steve.
