Great content and appreciate discussing all cruise lines!
Would love an Alaska packing episode!
I’ve been listening for awhile and am still putting up with you! I love listening to stay up-to-date with cruise news and for the combination of practical tips and good-natured humor. Thanks Doug and Michelle!
I really enjoy the show! There’s a lot of good info, and it’s really entertaining :).
However, the ads are much louder than the content; it’s a bit of a shock when listening with headphones!
Great show, they make you feel as part of the family with the kids and sports events that occurred in between shows. The show has a great balance of educational with the word of day, knowledge with Michelle’s travel agent background, and Doug’s humor.
There is a lot of info on the web, but as you experience a cruise and really learn about Disney, you realize a lot of it is just plain wrong or repeats someone else’s half right info. I love cruising with Disney (and the World), and I need to spend my money and plan wisely. Rope Drop On Deck gives me the accurate facts I need along with the reasons for their opinions so I can compare to what my family might want. Thank you!!
