Sean joins us on this week's live bonus show to discuss sailing-specific Disney Cruise Line Facebook groups. Disney cruisers are a bit unique in their zeal for joining and participating in groups for the sailings they take on DCL. These groups tend to be quite active, and are a good resource for answering questions, sharing information, meeting you fellow cruisers and building excitement in advance of your cruise. They are also a great to make connections for kids, tweens and teens ahead of sailing, and, of course, are where you sign-up to participate in Fish Extenders (organized gift exchanges amongst a small group of cabins). We share our tips and tricks for getting the most out of your sailing-specific DCL Facebook group, and also the good, the bad and the ugly these groups present. All that and more on this week's live bonus episode.

Karen and Kaley join us on this week's live show to discuss why Royal Caribbean might be a good choice for families who normally sail Disney Cruise Line to consider. There are lots of differences between Royal and Disney, from their booking processes to onboard activities, staterooms, food and dining, private islands and more. For those who typically sail concierge on Disney Cruise Line, Royal's Sky and Star classes may be of interest for the breadth of included amenities and, at times, lower price points. We're tackling all this, answering listener questions and so much more on this week's bonus show.
