CT — aka Tin Foil Mouse Ears — came back from an Adventures by Disney Rhine River Cruise from Basel to Amsterdam and joined Sam and Brian live to break it all down. Castles, chocolate, a music cabinet museum, a perfume house that became the trip's surprise highlight, and a brutally honest answer to the question every DCL fan eventually asks: is Adventures by Disney worth the price?
In this episode:
- A day-by-day breakdown of the Rhine River Cruise — Riquewihr, Strasbourg, Heidelberg, Cologne, and Amsterdam
- How the AmaWaterways Ama Siena compares to Disney Cruise Line in room size, food, community atmosphere, and onboard vibe
- Food on the ship: CT says it ranks a step below Palo for regular dining — and a step above it for the Chef's Table
- Practical tips for European river cruising: church dress codes, packing layers, translate apps, and the gear that made the trip
- Who Adventures by Disney is really built for, and when the all-inclusive, guided experience is worth every penny
- Sam's predictions: DCL returning to New York City and late-2027 itinerary releases ahead of D23
