Episode Details

The Holgates just got off the Disney Destiny — and their honest take starts with a rough first day. Six shots of espresso, sensory overload, and a friend's kid getting hurt nearly derailed the whole trip. Then day two hit, and Stephen came out the other side calling it his favorite ship yet.

In this episode:

• First impressions of the Destiny, including an honestly overwhelming embarkation day
• Dining highlights and misses across Pride Lands, 1923, and the pool deck
• Entertainment breakdown: Hercules, the Maleficent show, and villain vs. princess meet-and-greets
• An insider tip for touring the ship's restaurants like a private museum
• How the Destiny stacks up against the Magic, Wonder, and their upcoming Treasure sailing
• DCL news: new sailing deals, Brightline funding for Port Canaveral, and possible fleet shakeups

"We woke up completely refreshed on day two, and now — spoiler alert — I can say the Destiny is my favorite ship so far."
