More cruising is never a bad thing, but in this week's episode, we're discussing the advantages and disadvantages (can you even call them that?) of doing back-to-back Disney cruises. Joining me for this conversation is Tammy Whiting - author of the Unofficial Guides to Disney Cruise Line. Tammy and I talk a little about the logistics of doing back-to-back cruises before diving into some things to think about when planning for, or considering, your next multi-cruise adventure.

Join me this week as I dive into a head-to-head comparison of Disney Cruise Line’s two private island destinations: Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point! In this episode, I'll break down the differences and similarities across five key categories—location and setting, theming, beaches and recreation, dining and amenities, and overall guest experience—to help you decide which tropical paradise suits your cruise vibe. From Castaway Cay’s shipwrecked charm and serene lagoon to Lookout Cay’s vibrant Bahamian culture and pink-sand shores, I'll explore what makes each island unique and hopefully help you figure out which one is best for your family’s perfect beach day (spoiler: it's BOTH!). Hope you enjoy!
