Welcome to the Royal Crimean blog podcast.

We can look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 379.

A lot of people give Royal Caribbean a try, especially folks that used to cruise on Disney Cruise Line.

And this is a double episode of first, as we get someone trying not only Royal Caribbean, but a European cruise for the very

first time.

Here we go.

Well, we're back with another cruise story, and this week we get to go on Oasis of the Seas.

My goodness, I love Oasis of the Seas.

And joining me to tell us about to all of us this week's crew story is Lauren Sullivan from Tennessee.

Lauren, welcome to the podcast and Rocky Top, I guess. Yes, thank you, Matt. My husband will

appreciate that. He is a Vals fan. Yes, my son is at Alabama, so we've got some family conflict

going on there. But yes, my husband is a Vald's fan.

I'm very well aware of how it works.

I just know you're supposed to yell Rocky Top. And I learned there are cadavers underneath the football stadium.

So there are dead people in your stadium.

Oh, I actually did not know that.

I did know that there is like a body farm near Knoxville where they do research on dead bodies, but I did not know they were under the stadium. So that is new information to me.

I learned that on a Roll Caribbean cruise, true story. So it must be true. Anyway, we're not here to talk about the VALs because there's really not a whole lot to talk about lately.

That is true.

So instead, we will be talking about Royal Caribbean, and you went on Oasis of the Seas.

We did, we did, which it was actually June 2nd, 2019, so it's been about a year and a half ago, but it was a, I let my son, he was going to be a senior, and he graduated this year in 2020.
