Concierge: What Do You Really Want to Know?

What are the actual perks of sailing Concierge on Disney Cruise Line? In this episode of Destination Decoded, we’re joined by special guests who will be sailing Concierge for the very first time and it will be on the same cruise Heather and Amy are on! Instead of simply telling you what Concierge offers, we let them ask the questions you might be wondering yourself. From what’s included (and what isn’t) to the lounge, priority access, embarkation, dining, staterooms, and whether the extra cost is really worth it, we’re tackling their questions from the perspective of first-time Concierge cruisers. If you’ve ever wondered, “What would I even ask if I’d never sailed Concierge before?”—this episode is for you. Come along as we decode Concierge, one question at a time.

Onboard Fun

We just got back from a cruise together—and we’re talking about what it’s really like to cruise on Disney without our kids onboard! Since this was Heather’s 19th Disney cruise and Amy’s 22nd, are we bored yet? 😂 We’re sharing where we went, what we did, what we pulled from our tried-and-true cruise repertoire, and what we tried that was completely new to us. From dining and entertainment to relaxation and all those little details that make a kid-free Disney cruise feel different, we’re sharing our firsthand experience. So…what do two Disney cruise veterans actually do when the kids aren’t along? Press play and find out! Disclaimer: All opinions shared are solely our own.
