Episode 193: DCL Overrated/Underrated
In this week's episode, I've invited my friend, Doug, (@RopeDropRadio and Rope Drop on Deck) to play a game of overrated/under rated - Disney Cruise Line style. I picked some topics that I thought might be a bit controversial and we debated whether they are worth they hype or if they are not quite getting the hype that they deserve (or somewhere in between). You may agree or disagree, but I hope you'll play along as you listen! Don't forget to connect with the show on X and on Instagram @theDCLdude, or on Facebook at facebook.com/dcldudepodcast.
