Summary

On this week's bonus episode we're catching up with one of our favorite regular guests, Chris in the Concierge Lounge, about his family's recent sailing in the Royal Suite aboard Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. Chris is an avid Disney Cruise Line fan who loves sailing concierge. So we couldn't wait to hear his thoughts on dining, activities, shows, pools and more on Royal Caribbean as compared to Disney Cruise Line.
