00:00.69 dclduo Welcome back everybody to this week's bonus episode of the Dc L Duo Podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel and Sam we're gonna talk about luxury Disney again right? You love being ensconced in the luxury of Mickey. 00:14.71 Sam Oh yes I love it. Ah I do reaching into those deep pockets more like. 00:19.26 dclduo His warm hug and his big white hands in those deep pockets. Ah. 00:24.92 dclduo Ah, yeah, exactly exactly? Well we're going to talk a little bit about 1 of our new favorite subjects which is concierge but before all of you hit fast forward on the on the podcast playlist. We're going to talk about differences across conciurs as well as we said again. To talk about some differences across conciurs on the different ships as well as just a little background on what concierge is for any of you who are new to Disney Cruise line have been wondering what those gold colored key to the world cards are people are wearing and why they would spend an ungodly amount of money on the concieurs experience. So. 00:52.33 Sam So 50 00:59.32 dclduo We have brought on a true cruising concierge expert with us this evening and I want to start by welcoming her to the show. Welcome Ganesh. 01:06.41 Gunes Hi Nice to be here. Thank you for having me again. 01:09.54 Sam Um, yeah. 01:09.78 dclduo Yeah, great to have you back? Actually we're having you back. You've been on. You've been on with at least once maybe twice now is this your second time or your third time second time all right, all right? Well we can't wait to have you on to like do the full dcl duo experience because I think the last was the last one. Also a bonus show or was it. 01:14.68 Gunes Not this is my second my second time second time. But yeah. 01:18.84 Sam Yeah. 01:25.87 Gunes It was It was. 01:26.76 Sam It was because yeah we talked about itinerary it was It was an Itinera release show that we did with gannash and so that's right, Do we all? yeah. 01:28.93 dclduo Yeah. 01:32.61 Gunes Yeah, and the predictions were correct on the wonder right? like we did we? Yes Bravo. Bravo. 01:33.82 dclduo That's right. 01:38.33 dclduo Yes, I would say part correct in part wrong because I don't think that those those itineraries in Australia New Zealand looked as good as I was hoping for. So maybe maybe they did. We got it right? but it did not meet our our hoped for expectations. 01:46.20 Gunes True I didn't meet your expectations exactly. 01:50.14 Sam Yeah that's yeah, that is a good way to describe it because it the those transcific cruises. Well one the Vancouver to Hawaii cruises that sounds awesome and then the transpacific cruises sound awesome but those itineraries are so long. And then you've taken all this time off of work and then you fly home from Sydney I mean that's crazy right? So yeah. 02:10.59 Gunes Yeah, you need to spend some time a little bit of time there. 02:10.93 dclduo Yeah, yeah for sure for sure. Well a topic for a whole nother episode and know some folks have asked us what our opinions are of those cruises and we'll we'll get into it and mix it up at some point. But for now let's talk about Concierge. So. We. Let's start with and I know the topic is what's different across the different ships but let's start with what's the same. So Can you have folks kind of an encapsulation of what the concieurs experience is all about and what some of its like biggest benefits are. 02:42.85 Gunes Yes, absolutely and just by way of background I've now sailed concierge level on all five ships I'm very excited that I just sailed the wish a few weeks back and that was a fantastic experience. So overall, um, it starts even before you get on the ship. And so if you book concierge you actually get a dedicated shoreside concierge that will assist you with all your questions. There's a dedicated phone line that you can call or if you have a travel advisor they can call on your behalf or even email. Um, although lately they've been kind of tied up on the email and it sometimes could be hard to get a quick response. So best to pray call in and you know you may have to wait a little bit but the queuees have gotten better. Thankfully basically yeah, they offer the pre-arrival services. So um. 1 of the big things that people always want to do is get a Kaaana Castaway key so they can help you with those types of requests or gain certain reservations like you wantpollo reservation you want a spa reservation or even like bibbybobby boutiqued any of those types of. 03:47.60 Sam I. 03:49.65 Gunes Experiences that normally you would have to book on your own online star at the stroke of midnight eastern time when your booking window opens at whatever your castaway club level is instead calledieerge gasket a little extra leg up. Um, they actually did this recently in the past year or so where instead of it being. Ah, hundred and twenty days out where you get it the same time as platinum it's a hundred and I think it's one hundred and thirty days but it's starting at hundred and thirty five days out prior to your sailing. You can submit those requests to concierre shoreside conciers and the way to do that is actually. Send out an email right at midnight at one hundred and thirty five days out your lists and if you want that kabbana you gotta do it because otherwise everyone else is doing it at the same time. So um, but I actually got lucky gakaba with my wish sailing. So I was very excited about that but we can talk about that later. 04:30.41 Sam Go. 04:41.70 Gunes But yes, you have the pre-arrival services So that is one fantastic thing and that that you you get even before you step on board. Um, when you actually do another thing I'll go ahead and. 04:50.98 Sam We let me let me interrupt you there just for one second. So I can clarify for our listeners that it it basically Concierce Trump's all castaway status. So it doesn't matter if you are sailing concierge and you have never sailed on Disney Cruise line before or if you are a platinum cruiser who has sailed 50 times before you are we were all on the same same playing field if you're sailing concier so you have to send that email right at midnight eastern at one hundred and thirty five days 05:09.50 Gunes Exactly. 05:22.80 Sam And then you all have an equal chance. We think we I say we think because there is suspicion that if you're sailing in a Royal There is just there There is suspicion right? that if you're sailing in a Royal suite that your request might get bumped up a little higher then. 05:24.31 Gunes Yes, Yes, if you're still in a Royal suite. You might get a slight edge. 05:28.16 dclduo Ah I Actually yeah I I I don't I don't think yeah. 05:39.30 dclduo Well and I yeah but no, no, but even hold on sam but even no, no um I think my suspicion is actually yeah, the royal suites get to go first but I actually also think that they then prioritize 2 and 1 bedroom suites ahead of the family. 05:40.75 Sam Everybody else, but. 05:53.44 Gunes That could be possible be about I'm not sure about the one- bedroom streets or not but I I was sail on a 1 bedroomroom suite. So maybe that explains how I got the Kabaana for the wish when there's actually more there are more concieer state rooms than there are cabaanas so something's got to give there if everybody wants one so that might be why I got. 05:55.30 dclduo Staterooms. Ah. 06:10.24 dclduo Yeah I I think they yeah I think they do prioritize based on we we don't know for sure just me highlight that we don't know for sure but I do think they prioritize based on room category because they are prioritizing spend and the 1 bedroom suites are more expensive than. 06:13.14 Gunes Mine. Yeah. 06:16.40 Sam Um, right. 06:22.10 Gunes And. 06:22.12 Sam Right. 06:27.26 dclduo Ah, the family deluxe Veranda conci your stateroom. So my guess is yeah. 06:28.46 Gunes Correct. Definitely yeah. 06:29.71 Sam Right? But but but the point I would but the point I was trying to make was that your your castaway club status if you are sailing concierge becomes totally irrelevant. Basically you are on the same playing field as everybody else in concierge with the 1 exception that we we suspect although we don't know. 06:39.73 Gunes Correct. 06:49.41 Sam That different room categories within concierge might be given different levels of priority if they submit at the same time. 06:55.17 Gunes Exactly. 06:55.26 dclduo Yeah, the the other thing that I want to highlight is something ganeshha which is the you you mentioned Kabaana is ganesh but I also just want to highlight there is a benefit to this status in terms of your prebooking. For cruises not going to the caribbean because there are some very popular shore excursions out there on european sailings Alaska sailings other sailings that so for instance in Nord Fewor died where we just were with Norway. They had a helicopter tour that helicopter only holds. 07:12.65 Gunes Oh hi. 07:26.62 dclduo 5 guests and ah and a pilot or 6 guests in a pilot 6 guests in the pilot and they only do so many of them during the day and so that's a really small pool of people. Ah that that can get that experience. it's pricey so it's self-limiting but if you're wanting to do it and you're in the silver. Booking window or the new cruiser booking window on that cruise it may be sold out before it hits you. So if you're in concierge pretty much going to guarantee yourself a slot on that helicopter tour if that's what you want to do or dog sledding in Alaska and you know there's a few other excursions out there that are like that. So. 08:01.92 Gunes Yep, good point and ah 1 other thing that's kind of interesting too is if you're sailing with some other friends or family who are not in concierge if you link your reservations. They actually get to benefit from your status for booking those types of things so that is actually if you can't sell costs. Yeah. 08:15.65 dclduo Yep. 08:19.54 Gunes First find a friend who does who who's stealing on your sail. You can become buddies and take advantage of that booking window so that that's another little perk. 08:27.23 Sam It. It's like the the it's like the saying we always say about boats right? Um, if you you know the best kind of boat to have is your best friend's boat the same I guess for concierge cruising. 08:34.76 Gunes Hurt exactly expect. Absolutely definitely agree. Yeah, but go ahead. 08:39.90 dclduo The best kind of room to have on a Disney Cruise ship is your best friends Roy Disney suite so there you go? Yes, um yes in what other what other. But yeah, what other but what other benefits are there ganesh and in terms of concierge. 08:43.17 Sam That's right. 08:54.58 Gunes Up. Yep so the the main thing those are the main highlights I guess for pre ah before you get on the ship now on embarkation day. You actually as a concierge guest can arrive whenever you want. So basically you don't have to select a port arrival time. Um. And I think at least typically like versus at Port Canaveral and embarkation starts at a 11 am you can be right there ready to get on the ship now you might be have some friends with you. Yeah, a lot of people in the terminal. So ah, depend upon what's going on at that particular hour you may end up having to wait a little bit but you do have the option to. Arrive whenever you want so that that's really nice. Um, also when you embark there at least in port canaral that that's definitely that one of the best terminals because Disney owns the terminal or elesio they they have designed it for themselves. Um, special lounge to wait in case, you aren't able to get on the ship right? away, you'll get escorted through the terminal. Um, basically up until they get you to the ship now this didn't happen during our wish sailing. But in prior sailings at a port canaveral. We got escorted by a conses manager. Actually there was a kind of a handoff between the the folk the person that escorts you through the terminal through the crowds and then you got handed off to a conses manager who then whisked you up to the lounge that did not happen this time on the wish maybe because there's. 10:18.94 Gunes A lot more concier guests on that on that type of a ship. But um, we thankfully already knew where the lounge was and where we needed to go and so we just took ourselves we got up there but fine. It was and a big deal. Um. 10:19.10 Sam Are. 10:31.68 Sam Yeah, can I ask a question here gonnash this the benefit for boarding early does not um, extend to your friends and family who are not sailing. Concierge is that correct. 10:38.90 Gunes No, So yeah, that there's only a few things that that it literally is just that early booking window. Otherwise your friends and family who are not selling concierge on your selling. Not allowed to board early now you can choose to board whenever they do right? but they can't just hop on the ship whenever you do if their port arrival time is later and same thing when it comes to visiting the lounge or any of that type of stuff they cannot They can't just show up in the lounges. You can't just. I mean I'm sure people have snuck in but that's just typically not allowed and at some point I mean maybe you can get away with that on the wish a shorter sailing where maybe they don't get to know everybody as much on a longer sailing. They usually figure out the concieurs managers usually figure out who is a conseurs you guess and who's. 11:11.83 Sam So sit. 11:28.12 Gunes And if you just show up in the lounge like on day four and they've never seen you before you might get escorted out. 11:33.63 Sam Um, yeah I will say um, the concier hosts are super nice though. And if you are somebody who just wants a peek in the lounge meaning you're not going to stay there. You just want to look at it. 11:45.27 Gunes Yeah. 11:46.70 Sam They're usually pretty accommodating. They don't have to be just a warning. They don't have to let you in to take a peek but if you are polite and ask nicely. They may let you just come in just for a peek or picture or something to be fair. They're not all that special for a peek or picture. Ah. 11:57.13 dclduo Well and and and if and if you're at an off peak time if you're at the six o'clock cocktail hour yeah there's no way you're getting it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 12:03.95 Sam Yes, yep, No, if you're not getting in agreed agreed agreed. 12:07.94 Gunes No way they're letting you in exactly exactly. Um, yeah and I would say I've also I've sailed out to Miami concierge San Diego as well. Um, not quite the same experience as port canaveral. But I say that's definitely the best experience in terms of embarkation but otherwise it's on the ships. Totally fantastic. So um, if you want I can go into some of that as well. Basically 1 thing that that everybody gets to do is the embarkation day luncheon. So it's a special luncheon. Um, just for concierge guests. Um, it's basically the same menu what they do in the main. Whatever the main dining room that is available for that particular sailing is to say menus. You don't get a special menu but you get a nice private space. Is it gonna be 1 of the other restaurants so wherever they're having the main. Ah, dining um embarcation lunch. It'll be a different restaurant so you're not going me in the same restaurant on this particular ceiling with the wish we were in 1923 which was fantastic at that time that they actually had the con seat. 1 of the conciers managers. 13:08.60 Sam Here. 13:19.23 Gunes They will go around during the lunch and if you had certain requests that maybe you didn't get fulfilled or if you they just kind of go have an overview just kind of go over things with you. They have little laptops and they go walk around and they they introduce themselves that kind of thing so that is really nice and and that's ah, kind of like your first taste of getting to know. Ah, the cociiers managers and what they have to offer in terms of their their services. Um. 13:42.94 Sam And I think the best thing about that. Um is it and it sort of continues through the cruise with the concierge hosts is that you you never have to see guest services for a request. You never have to go to the spa to make your own appointment or um or. 13:52.66 Gunes Exactly yep. 13:59.38 Sam To change your appointment or or any or or deal with port Adventures desk any of that stuff you you just deal with the concierge host and they do all that for you which is lovely. 14:06.70 Gunes Exactly 1 stop shopping for it all your requests. Basically they also in the actual lounge on embarkation day. They will have a representative from the spa actually there so you don't have to go to the spa if you want to like do it do. Do song with this of the reservations and like you said even if later on you decide to do something talk to your concierge manager. Um, and then they also and on the navigate Dcl Navigator app they have a special chat function just to chat with the concierres now every time I tried down the wish for some reason it I don't know it was either glitching or I could never reach them. So I did actually do some chats with guest services and some actually show a significantquee but I eventually got I mean it was in a big deal. But I I casually mentioned to one of the concierge managers. Yeah I actually chatted with guesturs and she's like no no, no, don't do that. You'll come to us you come to us I'm like okay okay, sorry I totally. Have with the app so she understood, but but yeah, that is it is really nice to have that dedicated service from them and not having to ever wait in line. A guest services. This is really nice. Ah, okay. 15:17.83 Sam Yeah I had the same issue with the app on the magic gannash just a couple weeks Ago. So Um I don't know if there's some issue because I we were able to use the app to contact concier on the wonder. But then I had issue an issue with it On. On the Magic. So I don't know if there's and just a glitch with the app or or what's going on but I had the same thing it it wouldn't let me get through. 15:40.12 Gunes Yeah, and who knows yeah I know no idea what was going on with that either? Um, yeah. 15:45.50 dclduo Yeah, and you easy. Yeah and I think you know some other highlights right? are like love the one stop shop. That's that is frankly, 1 of the reasons we love. Sailing concierge is. You can walk in the lounge and say hey we need to cancel those spa treatments. Go grab a drink and be sitting by the window and then 5 minutes later they'll come over and say yep, taking care of for you all done. Um you settling your account. You want to add some gift cards to your account or something like that they'll handle that. Um, yeah, they they will. 16:08.20 Gunes Yep. 16:13.62 Gunes Um. 16:15.16 dclduo Pretty much fulfill just about any request you need. They helped us on our Norway Cruise we had a pao brunch for two that we turned into a pallo brunch for 4 that we ultimately turned into apollo brunch for tent and they took care of working with pao and ultimately getting us a private room and and all that sort of stuff so it it just I think it makes a cruise experience a whole lot. Smoother now. All of that comes actually I think one other big benefit I that's not I don't know that that's flight wide yet. Yeah, that's a difference I think good go ahead, get ish. 16:36.36 Sam Well don't forget the entry into the shows. 16:42.43 Gunes Ah, well,, that's it. Oh it. Well I don't it. They definitely had that on the wish but like so I think it is fleet wide but don't I'm like 90% certain. Where basically yeah I New A relatively new perk as a result Of. Covid Maybe who knows but they are allowed. They basically um for all the shows the nightly shows for both the show like there's usually to right? The the early seating and then the late seating they all have their own ah owned shows. They can see you get to have free popcorn. So Go to prelude show flash and you can do this actually anytime during the day flash your like yellow key to the world card and you get a free free hot popcorn. Um, and then what they do is you meet up with them in like the secret location basically kind of like ah ah, an alternate access. 17:30.98 Sam See her. 17:36.89 Gunes To to like the Walt Disney theater at least this was the case on the wish. Um and you have to you can quee. There's um, there's a little bit of a queue of people but it's not that bad at all about 45 minutes before the the show starts. So that's one downside. But once they let you they let you in like so we were early seating dinner. So our shows were always starting at eight thirty P M so we would get about between some 45 some 50 get in the in the line and then a conseirs manager right before Eight o'clock is Eight o'clock is when the doors open to everyone to get into the theater. 18:09.43 Sam Yeah. 18:12.73 Gunes Right? Like seven fifty five we were let in and you sit wherever you wanted so that's the 1 thing is like I know in other cruise lines like their they their equivalent of concierge will get like reserved seating like the reserves are rows or whatnot is possible. You may not like the seating. But. You don't have to show up 45 minutes in advance to get those seats so there's a there's pros and cons but we did it every night and that they had a show and we loved it. It was great. Um. 18:38.15 Sam Yeah, ours was a little bit. Um, so on the magic we had 30 minutes before we was when we had to be there, not 45 minutes before and and we were pretty much let in right when we got there and then they opened the doors maybe 10 minutes later depending depending on the night. So. Um, and we didn't even have to go get our own popcorn from preludes they went and got pop the concierge managers went and got popcorn for us so it was even even nicer. But but very simple I mean it's it's the same perk. It just might be done a little bit differently based on where the popcorn is and where the meeting location is and so there's um. 19:00.53 Gunes Ah, nice. 19:15.38 Sam That's something when you get on board if you're interested in going to see the shows you talk to the concierge managers or hosts who um to find out what that benefit looks like on that particular ship. 19:26.83 Gunes Exactly exactly. Um I will Okay, that's okay, go ahead right. 19:28.59 dclduo Yeah, and they they have oh go know I was um I was going say one other big benefit that we got to experience on the Norway Cruise was actually I don't want to go there yet because we haven't um you see gannash I think one other. I think 1 other consistent experience across the fleet that we've hinted at is the lounge and the food and in the free drinks at the happy hour time and that sort of stuff so we'll talk about a little bit of the differences in the lounges in just a second. But I think that that's a consistent. 19:51.30 Gunes Ah, yes, yes. 20:00.20 dclduo Theme is that there is a lounge for concierge the quality or the size or the amenities of that lounge vary. Ah, but all of them will have some food out at various times of day afternoon tea snacks. Basically, there's constantly some kind of food sitting out in the concierge lounge and then free alcoholic beverages. But those start between. After 5 and run between five and 10 and so it's a popular spot for folks to go to get a drink before a show or drink before dinner. We've even heard of folks who mid dinner get up, go to the lounge get themselves another drink. Ah so ah, that is another benefit and then. 20:30.10 Sam I I'm talking to you Kaylee We know you're listening. But. 20:34.15 Gunes Good. Ah. 20:36.49 dclduo And I think 1 other benefit we got to experience in our Norway sailing. Actually that was a lifes saver was priority disembarkation. So all of the concierge luggage is taken off and available or wasn't our sailing as as of the earliest time we could get off the ship so seven thirty in the morning our luggage was already off the ship and ready for us to pick up. And if you go to the lounge. The concierge hosts will express you off the ship so they have a special key card that when you get in the elevator they hit it. It takes you right down to the disembarkation floor. We went past a rope straight to tap our cards off walked right into the terminal had our luggage the whole experience from lounge to. Outside of the terminal at least in Dover which was a small terminal was probably 15 minutes so um that was a life saver because we had a tour that we were trying to meet at Eight o'clock in the morning so that's another perk across the fleet I believe so let's ginish. Let's shift gears. Let's type a differences because there are differences. Um. 21:27.93 Gunes Yep. 21:33.77 dclduo I think the difference it let's start with rooms. There are different categories of concierge rooms across the different ships and I'm thinking for instance like the magic class ships right? have 2 bedroom suites the dream class ships do not and then the wish has a whole another of. Categories of suite on board. So what are some of the differences in the conier staterooms across the different ships. 22:00.70 Gunes Yep, so all the ships do have the standard I guess deluxe family ocean view staying with veranda think I got it right? Um, and they all have the 1 bedroom concie suites. Um. 22:08.10 dclduo Um. 22:13.78 Gunes Now as you mentioned the magic and the wonder which are sister ships have the 2 bedroom options and all the ships have the royal suites. No well I guess here's the where the differences come in. Maybe I just say the original 4 ships not the wish have the royal and the walt. Ah, disney suites which are the royal suites. Um, maybe different configurations on each ship but that's the concept. Those are the top notch suites now in the wish we have various left so there are royal suites but there are different variations of that and then there's also the tower suite. So the royal suites they have I'll have to. Um, figure out what the the exact room category is, but basically there are the royal suites that are at the but there's 2 ah different corners at the after the ship. Um, which basically these are one story. Um. Concierge I guess one story royal suites and then they have royal suites at the front of the ship. Um forward that are 2 story royal suites and they have themes like some like you know? Ah I guess it was the sleeping beauty was it Aurora and you remember the names I can't remember the names off the top of my head. 23:28.42 Sam Um, one of them's aerial right? Ah yeah. 23:28.63 dclduo So yeah. 23:28.84 Gunes Um, ah actually is it aial now I We actually wafted out a whole another category on the wish the um the brand new category. The ones that were the ocean view without the balconies. Um, that was those were little mermaid themed. So maybe that's what the aerial thing triggered for you. 23:39.70 Sam Oh yeah. 23:48.34 Gunes These are at the front of the ship they floor to ceilingiling ah windows no balcony though. So no veranda but more space because of that. Um, so these these actually are right at that they are right under the right over the bridge I believe. Um, so you have great view off the front of the ship. Um similar concept with the tower suite which is going to be your top level suite on the wish top level suite in all the ships which is basically um, the so-called fuel called the funnel right. 1 of the funnels is basically a 2 wo-ory suite and they call it the tower suite. Um, that is just amazing but no balcony on that either. so' con confused or like there was a little a little more more variety on the wish hopefully not too confusing but the website definitely shows. Great fantastic pictures and. Um, you can you can check it out there as well. 24:49.18 dclduo And I think there's also the room placement on the ships right? So on the magic class ships Concierge is interdispersed with just ah say regular rooms but non conciers rooms whereas I think on the dream class ships. They're all clustered together and on the wish. 24:50.94 Gunes Yes. 25:05.45 dclduo There's a combination of cluster together and then the deck eleven ones that are all front am I getting am I getting that right. 25:10.19 Gunes I think you are getting yes, you're getting it right? So on the wi of the wonder and the magic all the state rooms are on deck 8 but they're up and down like forward and Aff. Ah, so but the actual lounge is forward. Um, and I mean that's 2 decks up on deck ten um, and if if I recall correctly. Um. 25:30.67 Sam Yeah, it's the entrance is midship but you're right it where it's located is definitely forward and. 25:38.81 Gunes Yeah, exactly. Ah and then the um on the dream and the fantasy though. Everything's on decks 11 and 12 all forward and the lounge is on deck 12 on both of those ships. Um, but so that that's how that is set up and then on the wish it's a big mix now so we were on deck 12 Deck twelve I love deck 12 that's where the lounge was but the lounge on the wish is two stories high so to speak because actually it's more sundeck than lounge but on deck 12 the bulk of the. Massive lounges there. Um and that is where you can get. You know they have a bar. They have lots of seating. It's all indoors there but then they have an an outdoor section and then you could go up to deck 13 and there are state rooms on deck thirteen so there's it's all forward. You'll have. Have staterooms on deck 12 Deck Thirteen um and that also shows you how or actually the royal suites that are forward will have the two stories as well in deck 12 and 13 um and now deck eleven is where we have those little mermaid suites that we were talking about for concierge. Those are also forward. And then the only ones that are after gonna be those 2 royal suites that are at the back and I camera if they're on deck eleven I think they're ah they could be on deck 11 or 12 at the. 27:02.22 Sam Is that the Aurora one and then is the other one a breer ah burrows. Yes, yes, that's it I remember passing them as I was delivering magnets. 27:05.53 Gunes Rare wrote Bri Rose right I think that's what it was yeah, that's what it was. 27:15.56 Sam Ah, during the maiden voyage and I was like oh I wonder what those look like inside because they specialist minds outside that like to have the name of the suite. Obviously they have a room number 2 but they have a like a pretty sign that has the name of the suite. 27:18.69 Gunes Oh very nice. Yeah, definitely. 27:32.10 Gunes Yep yep, exactly so a little more dispersed on the wish but you have the 2 story lounge and sundeck area. Also as we're talking about differences here. There are some differences between the lounges obviously between the ships as well. Um, probably the second best lounge after the wish would be on the wonder they have a they have a really nice large lounge and nice sunned outdoor Sun deck area. Um, and then the the fantasy and the wish also are going to have that they have identical types of lounges. 28:06.70 Sam Or you mean the dream. 28:09.33 Gunes I'm sorry yes that their dream and the and the fantasy. Um, they have identical lounges and sorts of format and they have a sun deck but the sun Deck doesn't actually you can't actually see the ocean. It's kind of like it's outdoors and it's covered but it's kind of like there. 28:21.93 Sam You. 28:26.47 Gunes Barriers. Ah so it's kind of self-contained I personally don't like that I really love the wonder and also how the magic have sundexs and lounges that have windows that you can see more and the wish is just absolutely fantastic at the front of the ship. Glorious views and then the thirteenth on the deck 13 there outdoor Sun deck has a pool I have a pull in quotes though the water in the pool is really literally like six inches deep it's it's laughable but it looks really It's really nice because it's got kind of like a waterfall feature to it that you can just kind of sit and like have the water falling like around you and stuff and it has 2 hot tubs right next to it and the views are just fantastic at the front of the ship. So. It's it's. 29:07.64 Sam Yes. 29:14.90 dclduo Um. 29:18.78 Sam Know Yeah, no, we haven't been on the dream in the fantasy in concierge. Um I I am I right? that there's a hot tub on those in those areas. 29:19.37 Gunes Prime Prime real estate. 29:30.20 Gunes Yes, there is a hot tub on their sun deck again self-contained, you're not gonna have the views that the wish does um, it's like a said it's like it's up on deck 12 or actually stack thirteen cause it's higher up above the lounge but it's. It's like people you can go in and out of that area through key access card area. But then yeah you can kind of join the general public and stuff out on the ah but they're the ones who can actually see out. You can't really, you don't have access to the ah railing or any way to actually see what's going on outside even though it is outdoors. 30:04.26 Sam Gotcha Gotcha Now we have heard um that because the magic is going into dry dock very soon that it is likely that they will make the same up. 30:05.66 Gunes They just have private barriers so people can't see it. 30:19.82 Sam Grades to concierge on the magic as they have done to the wonder and what I mean by that is the there. Supposedly this is this is this is rumor so we don't know for sure. Um, that the concier's lounge on the magic will basically mimic. What it is on the wonder so they'll expand it. They'll sort of take over some of the outdoor deck space and then build up 1 level which is where the concier's deck is on the wonder. Yeah. 30:46.80 Gunes That would be super nice that that would make me that that would put that the lap that would put it up there with the wonder in my mind like I personally like I I love the fantasy I love the dream but like I think that is terms of the real like the actual lounges and not like the lounges don't have windows either like they they have a giant. Skylight that actually when you go up to the Sun Deck you actually see that skylight. It's like a domed skylight but you don't get to see the ocean from the lounge and I just kind of feel a little bit slightly claustrophobic because of that and I just think that the wonder and the magic have better and definitely the wish have better. Views by far because of that. 31:26.82 Sam It Interesting. Yeah like I said we've we've now been on the wonder and the magic in concierge and there's a huge difference right now and so I would completely echo what you've said ganash which is that though I mean the wonders is more than twice the size of the of. 31:34.61 Gunes In here. 31:45.26 Sam The magics concierge the lounge and deck because it's 2 floors instead of 1 floor that's broken basically in half. So um, yeah, so it's very a very different experience. Not that the. And the magics lounge is nice because as you said it has the windows and so you can see out to the ocean you can see it to the ocean from the sundeck at least on one side. Um, and so that all is very nice but it's not um, it's not nearly as nice as the wonders um having not sailed concierge on. Wish or the fantasy or the dream interesting to hear your take on obviously the layout for the fantasy and the dream being not nearly as good as the wish I did get a walkthrough on the as I mentioned earlier if you're really nice to the concierge managers and ask politely if you can get you know, just walk through to get a peek. They will sometimes let you in that actually happened to me on the on the maiden voyage but I did go at a I went during a port day kind of in the middle of the day. It wasn't happy hour I knew it would be quite empty. Um, and so that's when I went and did my. 32:53.38 dclduo To to be fair, you knew the conciers on board. No wish so let's not let's not set expectations that just anyone can do a drive by of the concieer's lounge. 32:53.55 Sam Walk through and took some pictures I also well well, that's true. Yes, no no no no true true true I also I did know no I mean we knew 2 of the hosts from being on the wonder and so I didn't know all of the hosts that were on the wish I knew 2 of them. So. When I went by I was hoping that one of them would be there so that when I asked I wouldn't get some weird look like who are you they would be like oh hi Sam sure come on and you know and that that is in fact, what happened? So um, shout out to g who is awesome and ah gear may for those who aren't in the know. Um. 33:24.28 dclduo Yeah. 33:29.46 Gunes Yeah. 33:33.31 Sam But g is fantastic. Um, from Brazil and he let me take a peek in and then I introduced myself to the other kind of one of the other concierge shows that I had not met because I'm just that kind of person. 33:45.58 Gunes No, it's good to make friends because you never know like I had G as my concierge manager on the wonder and he had just gone off the ship before I got on the wish. But then he was coming back on again because I think he had had ah he had had a family emergency or something go on but he's supposedly back On. Um, so yeah, fantastic to just to get to know them. They all have different personalities. There's just so much fun to interact with. Um Yeah I would definitely love the relationships that you build with these folks for sure. 34:16.12 Sam Yeah I feel like if it's It's like when you have one of those awesome main dining um waitstaff and you just you know you spend the actually even more time with the concierge host if you hang out in the lounge which I like to do because I like to eat um and that's. 34:21.42 Gunes And. 34:30.37 Gunes Yes, eat and drink there. You go. 34:32.83 Sam And that's worth right? And that's where the food is so um and so I'm one of those people who obviously just talks to people because that's my personality and so I end up talking to them and finding out you know more about where they're from and and how long they've been on the ships and with ships they've been on and that sort of a thing and. 34:47.16 Gunes Yeah. 34:53.30 Sam I Like to make friends with the host I will I will put a plug in for those who are coffee drinkers Now this is this may not seem like a huge perk. Um, but to me it's kind of a big perk because I don't have to deal with waiting in line at Cove Cafe in the morning they have the. 34:59.19 Gunes Oh yeah. 35:11.20 Sam Coffee machines that make you know lattes and Americanos and espresso and you can make your own in the conciers lounges. So's and they have all the syrups and and teas and all that kind of stuff. So if you're a tea drinkker or a coffee drinker but you want the nicer stuff and not the stuff on deck. Um. 35:19.44 Gunes Yes. 35:31.19 Sam Sorry joffres. 35:31.39 Gunes Yes, oh I agree with you Totally joffres I am not a fan I think I heard you are not either. Um and yeah to have to go to cove Cafe You don't you have to pay for it. The cove cafe. Obviously this is included so ah on all this ships. 35:35.22 Sam Yeah, so. 35:44.71 Sam Yep. 35:48.60 Gunes Except for the wish they have one coffee machine and it's a high end. Yeah, really nice machine. Um, but on the wish they have 3 So yeah, 3 of them and you know what else they have the honest well as they have smoothie machine. Yeah, the smoothie the city. 35:54.84 Sam I o 3 smoothies we heard smoothies. Yeah, we heard about that tell us so tell us about the smoothie machine. 35:56.15 dclduo Well, that's. 36:07.79 Gunes Like we got through these at least 2 or 3 times. Um, you could self-s serve as like a machine that just ah, the whole time you were there. The 2 flavors they had were raspberry and dole whip. So if you're a dole whip fan. You can now have a dole whip Smoothie I I love the rasber say I'm the opposite I love the raspberry. 36:20.00 Sam I who I'm a dole Webpan I Hate Raspberry I don't like raspberry anything. Ah. 36:26.88 Gunes Um, I'm not a big I like pineapp I'm not big I'm not a big do whit person so it works out so you have the choice right? So whether you're a do whi person or not you have the choice so you can try one one or both. Yeah oh like I guess what that twinsys that's right because we don't like that I don't like Dole Whiv oh I'm sorry 36:29.19 Sam Yeah, well. 36:36.11 Sam I Guess we're not I guess we're not twinsies gonna show. Yeah ganesh and I were we were joking the other day. Um, because our our um. 36:46.61 Gunes Ah, yes. 36:51.94 Sam Are Facebook avatars ah that you know you when you comment in someone's post and you want to not just do the smiley face um emojis and you actually do an avatar they they look alike mine and ganehes. So right right. 37:06.43 Gunes Yeah, ellia for first of Facebook where twinsy is right? So we have that we have that. Ah yeah, but I was also going to mention it we were talking about some of the other. Um, one thing that we' never talked about was the the in room dining menu for concici. So. 37:10.90 Sam This twin season. That's right. 37:21.83 Sam Oh yeah I. 37:23.85 Gunes Um, for on the wish they get a special menu and the reason being is that concierge lounge has its own dedicated kitchen so where they actually can make hot stuffs and the offerings in the lounge throughout the day are better and you can actually. At breakfast time go into the lounge and order specific things actually breakfast lunch and I can't remember a dinner time they did it but definitely during lunch. You can order special things they will make make made to order what we loved was the room service. We love room service anyway, anywhere we go. Um, so we ordered breakfast every morning through room service still went out to the lounge still went out to places like Marsley Market to supplement but um, it was really great and they had things like the Mickey Waffles trying to remember what else like other just fantastic like really good like. 38:16.00 Sam Oh wow. 38:19.67 Gunes Ah, really good like gourmet omelets. Um I I know I took lots of pictures and stuff and and I made I took some notes I can't remember everything off the top of my head but there is a dedicated menu for breakfast lunch and really good food. We we order from both great snacks. 38:38.43 Sam And that's a big that's a big difference. Um between the wish and the other ships I know that for concierge gets basically on the other ships the same room service menu as everybody else with 1 exception if you're sailing in a 1 ne-bedroom or higher level. 38:39.40 Gunes 2 Yes. 38:55.26 Sam You can get ah a slightly upgraded breakfast menu so you can get a hot breakfast in your room but it's not everything. It's just you know it's like eggs and you know a handful of entrees. Basically so it's ah it's ah, an upgrade from just the I'll call it continental breakfast that anyone can get in room. Um, but. 38:59.69 Gunes Um, and. 39:10.28 Gunes That is correct. 39:13.71 Sam This new menu on the wish that room service for you know, multiple different meals and for breakfast being even at a level above. That's a that's a big difference in my opinion. 39:23.53 Gunes Yeah, and we definitely took advantage of that which was great. The 1 thing that they didn't do is they didn't do the room service on disembarkation morning which I was a little disappointed about because on I don't know. This was a covid thing or they didn't allude to so they didn't tell me that was a covid thing but on other sailings on other ships. We were able to do that was actually sort of a special concierge park because you can't normally normally no one can get room service on disembarkation morning. But when we sail concierge on the other ships. They allowed us to do it. As long as we gave the conciers managers the night before our our order we wouldn't hang it out on the door the night before kind of thing where you you could hang the which you list out what you want and stuff so but this on the wish they said? no, we don't do that but we're hoping sometime soon. So I don't know whether that. But for some reason they're just maybe because there's too may. 40:16.33 Sam I I think they I think ended it in general though I don't think you can do it even on the other ships but I I could be wrong. Yeah yeah. 40:17.40 dclduo Yeah, well, that's no. 40:17.89 Gunes Too many concieres rooms I don't know. 40:25.50 Gunes Ah, okay, an old perk. Perhaps okay oh well. Well either way, it's still great to have the special in-room dining menu for concierge. Um I will also note when it comes to actual state rooms on the wish. Um, mean all the state rooms on the wish are are fantastic in terms of just being very modern, not having to worry about shower curtains. You're having a glass and case shower that kind of thing. Very bright, open r 1 bedroom had a a tangled theme to it. Absolutely love that. But they. 40:46.56 Sam Um, this is it. 40:57.67 Gunes Also in terms of layout. Um, that's kind of interesting. It is really helpful for families. Especially if you're sailing with kids or just more than 2 people. Um, they ah oh actually here's the 1 thing that that I actually love they have King size beds in the conterre state rooms. 41:12.87 Sam This. 41:16.66 Gunes All the other ships concierge has Queen also on the wish other you know if you're 9 conciers. You should get a queen as well. So they have Kings size beds which is great because I love an king size bed but actually takes up a bit of room in the room so we don't you don't have as much room in the and the the bedroom portion. Um. 41:31.95 Sam So. 41:34.77 Gunes But that's fine. There's plenty of room elsewhere to for storage and to do it to do your thing but basically the Murphy bad so there is a Murphy bed when it comes to this fantasy. And the dream. The Murphy bed is in the living area. So it's that drop down bed that you can that someone can sleep in um, on the magic and on the wonder at least for the 1 bedroom configuration. The Murphy bed is in the master bedroom. 41:54.83 Sam Um. 42:05.38 Gunes So that may or may not be a good thing. Maybe if you have a young kid with you that's fine I've no I've had clients who basically have decide to switch like the parents will sleep on the sleep. So fun. They throw the kids in the master bedroom. You can do whatever you want, but the nice thing about the wish is they do have the Murphy bed. 42:17.87 Sam And. 42:23.84 Gunes In the living area and it's kind of a unique location near there's like this little divider between the dining area. They have a you get a little dining room table if you have 1 bedroom it drops down out of this little this divider area that is kind of cool. You ah have pictures of that as well. But it's it's nice that they. Kind of I'm sure that was a feedback thing you know from the older ships but to have the Murphy bed separate is a good thing. 42:50.49 dclduo Well ganesh I think there's probably 2 other questions I have so one more difference I think is the number of concierge staterooms on board. The different ships you've alluded to it a couple times now. The reason they have to have 3 coffee makers for instance on the wish is. 43:04.32 Gunes Ah. 43:04.79 dclduo She has a ton of concieur State rooms whereas the magic who has not undergone the same upgrades that the wonder did several years ago has the fewest and so I think there is a difference in the number of rooms across the fleet that are dedicated to concieer is that fair. 43:18.16 Gunes Yes, that is correct and I think the total number on the wish is 76 which is double the number and what you found the other ship so to compensate the wish has 4 concierge managers as opposed to 3 43:25.42 Sam Wow. 43:37.66 Gunes Um, so I had it was interesting leading up to our voyage on lewisish I had heard a lot of chatter about oh they're just strangeed thin that the managers don't have enough time. There's too many concierge rooms they need another conciege manager honestly, the only time I really know I mean. On embarkcation day I I noticed yeah they were pretty busy but that's very typical of embarkation day for concierge for them to be busy because people there are some high demand cruisers just theyre like I want this I want that I want that I got I kind of. Casually it was watching like we're we're actually pretty low maintenance ourselves like I got a kavana that's all I needed I was done like I I just didn't need I did not need the services of any of theres I just had a couple questions here or there but no big deal. Um, but there are some people there are literally talking to them for like thirty forty five minutes and I was there the whole time like I you're still talking to that. 44:15.34 Sam Specific. 44:30.92 Gunes I like so like it's sometimes there's some heavy demands paint depending upon the sailing. But um I I did not the only time I I even notice crowds for instance was maybe around like this is also typical too right around happy hour opens up at five o'clock but 44:44.90 Sam Yeah. 44:48.99 Gunes That I mean again, it wasn't anything unusual I never felt like the lounge was over crowded I never felt like anybody seemed stressed or anything. But yeah I actually talked. Yeah, you did as say um, you were mentioning you like to talk to them talk to them and kind of get to know them and. Um, I really got to I got to talk a little bit with Mariana who's also from Brazil and she was telling me like yeah I mean it would be. We definitely want would love to have more help I'm sure. But. I think the difference is when the the wishes. Ah, we've talked think we've talked about this in the past the wish is kind of like the new dream in terms of the length of sailing so they have 3 and four night ceilings so it's hard for them to get to know each people well and there's short amount of time. Also it's harder people especially if they've never been on this ship. 45:21.17 Sam The. 45:33.93 Gunes They want to get everything done quit in that short amount of time. So that's maybe why they're There's perhaps more high demand. Um, but as far as you know talking to them like I did not get a sense that anybody was completely burnt out or anything. Um. 45:34.98 Sam Yes. 45:47.63 Sam Right. 45:50.00 Gunes But they they still seem very everybody's upbeat happy to help like I never got any negative vibes whatsoever. But I'm sure they could well they would welcome another coseers manager. Ah if they if they could just because it is twice them out of staterooms. But. Only 1 extra It's not twice amount of cosair managers. They don't have 6 you only have 4. 46:08.78 Sam Yeah, did you get a sense of whether there's a difference in what people can get and what I mean by that is you know obviously getting a kabana is going to be more difficult if you're sailing on the wish and going to castaway key. Um, then if you are sailing on. Let's say the dream and going to Castaway key because there's just going to be higher higher concierge demand it's going to be you know for a regular cruiser I'm sure impossible. Um, but I am curious if you got any sense of 1 whether or not that's bearing out. Um, and then two if the same can be said about the adult dining because I know that it was an issue on the maiden voyage but the maiden voyage is a unique sailing with very demanding people in general and so I'm wondering if if you got a sense of how that played out in a you know a sailing. She's been sailing now for several months. 46:54.84 Gunes Yes. 47:04.35 Sam Is that still the case. 47:05.33 Gunes Um, I think the only area where I note I see the cabbaanas you know is's just Goodnna. That's just going to be the case regardless because it's its sheer number of staterooms. But I think Pallo was one of the things that was in hot apollo in yeah I think adult dining generally um but I kept hearing. Kind of over yeah eroppping on some conversations with those consir managers. Yeah, that guy was talking for 45 minutes yeah um basically I I think that that was in high demand but it also could have been because you know I sailed it late August so could have still had a lot of those platinum cruisers so you're kind of still competing with those folks as well. Um, but I think the sense was we can get youpollo but you can only go once like you can't go like every night that kind of thing. Um, so I think it's still in high demand for adult only dining. Um I I don't know about the other stuff per se but um. 47:42.64 Sam Um, yeah. 47:50.41 Sam Um, yeah. 48:01.32 Gunes Yeah, overall like I did not get the sense that people were necessarily dissatisfied I think that there's there's always going to be a high demand for certain experiences Kabbaana top of the list and that literally is the reason I know clients who just literally just want to book coneirs just saying get the kabana like that that whole bit. 48:14.71 Sam Ah. 48:20.50 Gunes Um, but if you're gonna do that I recommend going on a different ship because it's not gonna be guaranteed or if your suspicions are correct. You know book the royal suite or like maybe a 1 bedroomroom I mean I don't know if mine was sheer luck or what is the fact that I had a 1 bedroom but I ah. 48:21.44 Sam Um. 48:37.53 Gunes Was very happy to get get my cabanna. 48:44.22 Sam Brian did you have another question or did I end up take asking the question you were going to ask. 48:48.81 dclduo No I have 1 more um a again I'm curious. Can you say so ganesh I want to round out the show by asking you 1 question actually now I have 2 questions you say again. So Ganesh I when to round out the show with 2 questions. The first one is rank the concierge experience across the 5 ships. What's your order of concierge experience. 49:14.58 Gunes Ah, definitely wish number 1 for sure number 2 would be wonder um and this is all for me. Personally, it's based on the lounge I mean that I think that's definitely but the big big factor for me number 3 magic and then tied in fourth place would be fantasy and. Dream just because they're pretty much identical um in terms of services. No issue I mean all across the fleet. You're not going to have issue a service to me the 1 differentiating factor has to be the lounge and then I actually couple that with the actual state rooms themselves. So I think the this. 49:49.16 Sam Um. 49:51.37 Gunes I actually prefer the layout of the concierge 1 1 bedroomroom stateroom. So I think when it comes to just the standard verandda room those are gonna be kind of like they're pretty much similar same layout on all the shes um, but when it comes to the 1 bedrooms. You're gonna find a lot of ride just there alone. Um I like the layout of the 1 bedroom most definitely on the wish and it's obviously most modern. Um and that's just my taste but um on the wonder and the magic also just liked the setup. The design of it. Um. 50:20.67 Sam So. 50:24.30 Gunes I'd have to say on the fantasy and the wonder I thought I'm sorry fantasy and the dream the difference is for that 1 bedroom. They actually have these like sliding door thing is it's kind of weird how they set up the 1 bedroom area how they cordon it off. It's a little less. I would say it's less private but you can kind of hear what's going on in the living room more than um, when you're in the wonder or the magic There's a little bit more privacy I think but comparing master bathrooms too is different I think the the actual bathrooms on the fantasy and the dream are better because you don't have. Yeah, actually have shower curtains on the wonder in the in the in the magic which I don't care for but I actually like the overall layout better. So rankiess again. Wish number 1 wonder number 2 magic 3 and then tie for fourth for fantasy and dream. 51:13.37 Sam Cool. 51:15.95 dclduo I All right kenish. My last question is the perennial question is concierge worth it. 51:25.90 Gunes Absolutely absolutely worth it. Um I that's I'll get literally in on another secret. That's the only way that I have sale Disney Cruise lines so um it's I've spoiled myself from the get-go and I give you a little. Story and background as to why? So our first ship that we ever sailed on was the dream and I had knew nothing about Disney Cruise line or any yeah I was just I wasn't even a travel advisor at that point. Um I basically just wanted the. Base like I wanted to have some separation between my husband that was my husband separation return that that separation from ah my husband I wanted separation from our son so he could have his own space and we could have our own space and the only way we could do that was to book a 1 bedroom suite and it just happened to be concierge. So. 51:59.21 Sam Yeah, away from your husband. 52:14.43 Gunes I Honestly didn't really care about all the perks and I kind of just figured it out on my own when they sent me the email saying oh you can do this? Oh I can get a cup banana. Okay like so I kind of learned that on my own but then once I sailed it and I experienced it I was like there is no way I would go back to it sounds horrible. But I Just we've done Spoiled. We're very spoiled with that. Um I specialize in luxury Travel I Love luxury travel. So for me, that's the only way to do it. I'm a huge fan of the um ship within a ship concept so to speak when it comes to cruising so to me that's how I just our style of travel. 52:33.92 Sam Ah. 52:45.31 Sam Okay. 52:53.52 Gunes Um, so perhaps I'm biased in that regard. But I guess it's interesting it. It'd be a good question to ask someone who has not say who has done both and I see you guys have done both so you have just throw the question back to you Brian I because you you you you. 53:04.90 Sam No, no, you're flipping the script on us. 53:11.17 Gunes Sale cone. Do you tell me? do you think it's worth it. 53:15.53 Sam That Well we've sailed more like multiple times come sees after sailing conciers once so I'm going to have to say yes, Um, but I also will say. I I still loving I Still love sailing regardless and we sailed on the wish non concierge and I would do it Again. I mean I would sail non concierge again without any question do I Prefer Sailing Concierge Absolutely But if my choice is you know, not sailing at all. Then you know or you know or sailing with with the regular people I'm going to sail with the regular people all right? So That's you know that's a thing for me, you know when I think about the choice of and and the cost right? I Think if you've got the disposable income to spare. 53:52.10 Gunes Ah god. 54:02.48 Sam Yeslurge and du concierge is nothing like it. It's fantastic service. You do have all of these ah these benefits of the earlier booking which to me is ah you know something I really like especially when you're talking about certain excursions like Brian mentioned for Norway we had that. Um. 54:21.78 Sam And I love the lounge and I love that experience I Love afternoon tea and afternoon tea is a thing in all of the lounges every single day except for disembarkation day of course because it's too late as you after you've already left. So yeah, so for me Absolutely I love it. But if I. 54:30.30 Gunes Yeah, yeah. 54:38.74 Sam Couldn't afford to sail a concierge or couldn't afford afford to sale concierge every time that I sailed I would still sail on Disney Cruise line just with the regular people so that that would be my answer. Um, but but I I don't know if Brian has a different answer. So I'm gonna throw the question to him Brian. 54:56.23 dclduo Well since I'm hosting the show I get to have the last word I will I will say um you know look I I enjoy sailing concierge I continue to believe it is a luxury good. It is not essential to you having a fabulous vacation on Disney Cruise line which is already an expensive proposition. So. 54:57.44 Gunes You know. 55:13.75 dclduo I don't see concierge as necessary if the question is is it worth it. I would actually say no I mean it's a great experience but I don't think you're going to get the full value of it back in any way if that's how you're defining worth I think you will absolutely experience a level of Disney service that is unparalleled. Ah, perhaps outside of vip tours or adventures by Disney I think you will absolutely have 1 of the smoothest cruises you've ever had when you sail with concies because you you you want for nothing you worry for nothing. You have don't have to wait in line practically anywhere. Um, so it's it's really a is it. Is it worth the so it's really for me comes down to a convenience and I am a person who I'm willing to pay for convenience is we were on the wish standing in a long line to get our adult dining reservations taken care of and the headache that that was and hyperspace lounge reservations with things thankfully are now gone. I the first one of the first things I thought was if we had sailed concierge. We would be sitting at lunch right now and the concierge host would be on the phone dealing with all of this while we enjoyed our lunch. So I think if you're one who just really wants to experience that highest level of Disney Service the highest level of convenience that you can get on board and you know just one of the smoothest Disney processes I've ever seen then conciers is absolutely something to try just you know black box warning here once you do it's really, really, really hard to sail any other way and conciurs is. 56:41.87 Gunes Ah. 56:46.70 dclduo Extremely expensive, especially when you're talking about you know like european sailings or Alaska or things like that concierge is an expensive expensive proposition.
