Join Sam as she welcomes first-time guest Francesca — a lifelong cruiser with Diamond Plus status on Royal Caribbean — who recently sailed Disney Cruise Line’s Dream on a four-night “Duo Dip” itinerary visiting both Lookout Cay and Castaway Cay.

Francesca shares what it was like to experience Disney Cruise Line’s new private island, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, for the first time, including her family’s surprise day in a Serenity Bay cabana, her thoughts on the island’s upgraded food options, and how it compares to Castaway Cay.

They also discuss Palo Brunch, favorite dishes (including the secret grape and gorgonzola pizza!), adult activities, and how Disney’s magic stacks up to Francesca’s Royal Caribbean roots.
