Summary

Sara's back — and this time she's bringing receipts. After sailing Disney Cruise Line three times, she just got off a Caribbean sailing on Norwegian's Prima, and she breaks down exactly how it stacked up: the price, the food, the kids club, and whether "half the cost" really means half the experience. In this episode: Why Sara chose Norwegian this time, including the personal reason behind the trip A real comparison of dining, entertainment, staterooms, and service between NCL and DCL The upcharges that added up fast, and where Norwegian still came out ahead on value Her kids' surprising reaction to Norwegian's un-themed kids club Plus this week's D23 Disney Cruise Line news and the debate over the Disney Believe's stern lettering There is something that feels so safe and so comfortable and so much like home for me when I'm on a Disney ship, but at the end of the day, I would still choose Disney. — Sara Support the Show: Support the show by booking your next Disney vacation with our sponsor, We Do Travel Right!
