This week, Sarah returns to share her family’s Holland America Line adventure through New England and Canada. Sailing aboard the Zuiderdam, they explored ports from Boston to Quebec City—including Portland, Halifax, Sydney, and the magical Prince Edward Island—home of Anne of Green Gables.

Sarah breaks down what makes Holland America different from Disney Cruise Line, from the smaller-ship feel and fantastic food variety to the multigenerational vibe and hidden gems onboard. She also shares her son Max’s take—spoiler: pickleball, sushi, and independence made it a hit!

Listen as Brian and Sam compare the HAL experience with DCL and talk about whether this classic cruise line could be a good fit for Disney cruisers looking to branch out.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
