Sailing with the DCL Duo

Brian and Sam host an incredible show about the joy and fun of cruising. Brian and Sam do an incredible job of building almost immediate rapport with the guests on their show. Each epsidoe provides an array of persepectives that give a realistic impressions of the good, the bad, the great, and the mishaps that may occur while onboard or offboard a cruise ship. They provide a window into a range of experiences to help you get an idea if you'd enjoy the premium adult dining, a concierge room, an extended sailing experience, and plenty ideas for port excursions. Thank you for bringing great content that my family and I can enjoy listening to every week.
