Summary
We get a review of a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas from Port Everglades. Ryan and Lauren strictly sail Carnival Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean first timer. We also hear their thoughts after returning to the Caribbean islands after last year's hurricane season.
This week we are sailing on Carnival Breeze for a 14-night Eastern Caribbean so there will not be cruise news. If you'd like to hear our daily 90-second Cruise Radio News briefs you can subscribe here: Cruise Radio News podcast feed.
