Summary

Matt Hochberg, founder of the Royal Caribbean Blog, joins us this week to answer all of our questions ahead of our fast-approaching sailing on RCCL's Oasis of the Seas. Matt is a Royal Caribbean expert, and we were really hoping he might help alleviate some Sam's apprehension about sailing on Royal for the first time. Matt gave us some truly great tips about dining, shows and some Royal-specific offerings we had to try (and a few he recommended we skip). If you're a Disney Cruise Line fan who's been thinking about making the jump from DCL to Royal, this is a great show for you! Special thanks for Paul Thornton from the Joy of Cruising for connecting us with Matt, and to Matt for taking time out of his very busy schedule to spend some time with us. If you are looking to book your next Disney Cruise, then head over to My Path Unwinding Travel so Karen and her team of expert travel professionals can help you find the perfect vacation for you and your family. If you use Sea Bands to prevent motion sickness, then you need to check out Blisslets (via our affiliate link), a stylish alternative to traditional sea sickness bands.
