00:00They were like, they're like, man, every woman has an accent on the ship.
00:03And I'm like, because this is an international crew.
00:06This is like, you know, they go everywhere.
00:08The talent pool comes from all abroad.
00:1065 nationalities we have on board.
00:13Really?
00:13That is incredible.
00:15Now, now we have to talk dining.
00:17Oh, yeah.
00:18We have to talk because I mean, food next to Mickey and Minnie.
00:21Food is the headline.
00:23It's important.
00:24I'm with you.
00:25I'm with you.
00:25So here we have rotational dining, which is very unique for the cruise industry.
00:32So Disney Cruise Line, we have three restaurants and then the servers rotate with you.
00:37You know, you have experienced that already.
00:39So it's like your server goes with you to all the restaurants.
00:44So, you know, it's amazing because they now they can say, oh, you like your water with no ice and lemon.
00:51Oh, yeah.
00:51Or you like your Diet Coke or you like like a Chardonnay or so they know exactly.
00:56Oh, she knows what you order.
00:58Yeah.
00:58My Pinot Grigio.
00:59Oh, here you go.
01:01Or a Dirty Martini.
01:03They know her drink choices very well.
01:05Love it.
01:06So not just that.
01:06They know your table number.
01:08They know like the amount of people in your party.
01:10I was kind of wondering a little bit lost yesterday.
01:13My server found me.
01:14He's like, come with me.
01:15You look lost.
01:17Yeah.
01:17That's the Disney difference.
01:19So it's very unique for the industry, as I said.
01:23And also we take very seriously if you have any dietary need.
01:28Let's say, for an example, you're allergic to peanuts or you're allergic to.
01:31So we take that very, very seriously.
01:33And the chef and the entire crew handle it very, very, very well.
01:37What kind of upgraded dining experiences do you have here?
01:40But here we have two signature restaurants, but they are for adults only, 18 and older.
01:46And they have an option of, you have to be like a dining option.
01:51You have to pay extra for that.
01:53Okay.
01:53But the regular dining rotation is the Animators Palad, which is super, super fun.
01:59Then we have a Royal Palace, which is the one that we went last night.
02:04Yep.
02:04That is inspired on the princesses.
02:06You know, very, very nice.
02:08And then we also have Enchanted Garden.
02:11That's the one that we went the first night.
02:12Yes.
02:12So it's every single restaurant is themed.
02:16And every single menu has different choices for the family to enjoy.
02:22It was perfect last night because Meredith got to try every appetizer.
02:26I did.
02:27She ordered all of them.
02:29The escargots are my favorite.
02:30Me too.
02:31The fried brie.
02:32We had the lobster and shrimp last night.
02:34And then lamb for dinner.
02:35Oh, my God.
02:36Oh, it was so good.
02:37I had the salmon, which was delicious.
02:39So everything, we have a little bit for, you know, all the taste.
02:42And if you want chicken fingers, they can bring that for you too.
02:44What's different about the Animators restaurant that you have?
02:49The Animators Palad is based on Crush, which is the turtle.
02:53So I'm not going to give away the secret.
02:57So he does, like, a little bit of interaction with our guests.
03:02So it's super, super fun.
03:04You're going to see it.
03:05Super, super fun.
03:06We had to go to that.
03:07That sounds like so much fun.
03:08Yes.
03:08That's where we're going tomorrow.
03:09It's funny.
03:10When you get on the ship, everybody pushes the app, the Navigator app.
03:13Yes.
03:14And I'm one of the rebels.
03:15I'm like, ah, I'm good.
03:17I don't need the app.
03:18I figured out that everything is funneled through that app.
03:21That's your gateway, and that's why I didn't know that I was at the wrong restaurant last night.
03:26I went back to the Enchanted Garden, and the guy looked at me.
03:31He said, you're not in the right place, are you?
03:33I said, I think so.
03:34I'm supposed to be sitting right there, but nobody's at our table.
03:36He said, let me show you where you're going.
03:39Awesome.
03:39And he said, because we rotate.
03:40And he's like, it's on your app.
03:41And I'm like, I know.
03:42I got to pay attention to the app.
03:44And another cool thing about the app is you can also have the menus there.
03:48So even if you're curious about why you want to eat, like me, I'm like, ooh, I'm going
03:53to wait for tonight to have my Chateaubriand or to have my, so that's a great thing that
03:58we have that app, and everything is compiled there.
04:01Yes, it's perfect.
04:02And we were able to look, and I mean, we got, like, the billing that you just looked at
04:06to watch where your tally is.
04:08Make sure you don't spend too much.
04:09Your itinerary.
04:10It has everything.
04:10No, spend, I like it.
04:13Well, if you're on a budget, you want to know how much your husband is spending or your
04:16daughter or all that, you know what I'm saying.
04:18Okay, I got it.
04:19I got it now.
04:20I got it.
04:21This is all what you learn when you would do the Disney experience.
04:25It's just a difference here.
04:27Like when Nathaniel said, it's just a little pixie dust added to it.
04:30It's just, this is the way that, honestly, novice travelers like myself, I've been on other
04:35ships, but it's not this way.
04:37This way is a little bit more stepped up and a little bit more all-inclusive to the
04:42family experience, and that's what we want to make sure we're letting people know.
04:45Now, the texts have been coming in.
04:47People are saying, oh, my God, you guys got me ready.
04:49You got me ready to cruise.
04:50Love it.
04:51So I think we got some people chomping at the bit to get on board.
04:53Thank you, McGuette.
04:54I appreciate you coming back and getting us a little bit more of this flair in your vernacular
05:00that people are enjoying so much.
05:02Yes.
05:03So I wish you, and have a magical afternoon.
