Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Block podcast, a weekly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your house, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 141.

I'm always dreaming about taking another Royal Caribbean cruise, and even when I'm onboard my cruise, well, I'm lamenting it's not longer.

Back-to-back cruises are a solution to both problems, and this week, Michael Pool is joining us to talk about his recent back-to-back cruise on

Brilliance of the Seas.

We talk about why he chose to do a back-to-back cruise in the first place, as well as

review everything brilliance of the seas has to offer.

Here we go.

We all love taking Royal Caribbean Cruises.

I mean, that's why we have this whole podcast each and every week talking about going on real cribbing cruises.

But how about going on two Royal Caribbean cruises in a row?

Yes, we all dream about that.

Well, mostly just keep on cruising.

I gnauzum just repeating.

But going on to a back-to-back cruise is always something very exciting to think about.

And, well, sometimes some of us get to try that out, including today's guest,

which is, of course, the very famous, awesome, and has a great taste in beer.

Michael Poole.

Michael, welcome to the podcast.

Hi, Matt.

Thanks for having me back on the podcast.

And I'm really excited to talk about my back-to-back
