Episode Description

Joe sailed on the Disney Destiny! We talk a little bit about the ship in general and then chat about what sets it apart from other ships, including unique lounges, entertainment options, the new Feast of the Lion King dinner show, and Hercules! Does it live up to the hype or is it a work in progress? Is the ship more for adults than kids? We discuss all this and more on this week's episode.

Thanks to Disney Destinations and Travelmation for having Joe on the Disney Destiny Christening cruise!
