This week, Sarah returns to share her family’s Holland America Line adventure through New England and Canada. Sailing aboard the Zuiderdam, they explored ports from Boston to Quebec City—including Portland, Halifax, Sydney, and the magical Prince Edward Island—home of Anne of Green Gables.
Sarah breaks down what makes Holland America different from Disney Cruise Line, from the smaller-ship feel and fantastic food variety to the multigenerational vibe and hidden gems onboard. She also shares her son Max’s take—spoiler: pickleball, sushi, and independence made it a hit!
Listen as Brian and Sam compare the HAL experience with DCL and talk about whether this classic cruise line could be a good fit for Disney cruisers looking to branch out.

So much negativity, even at 1.3 speed I couldn't wait for the episode to end. Chad is absolutely unlistenable, sorry. I was hoping to hear a "real-talk" about DVC and how points work. I might just have to attend one of the seminars at Disneyland to get an understanding of that.
Great podcast! Lots of great info and so inspiring! I can honestly say I’m now officially jazzed to start planning my next cruise!
