Welcome to the Royal Caribbean blog podcast, a week of a look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hachberg, and this is episode number 378.

Cruises are a way to bring family together, and this week's story is all about how Chris and his big family decided to sail on adventure of the season, 2018.

It's a good reminder of how important time with family is and what better wait than on a cruise vacation.

Here we go.

We're back with another cruise story this week and today we're going to be heading over to Adventure of the Seas to hear a great story from one of our podcast listeners.

And joining me on the Royal Cream blog podcast is Chris Arricadera from California. Chris, welcome to the Royal Cromay

blog podcast. Hey, thanks for having me, Matt. It's awesome to be here. Absolutely. Good to have

you here, buddy. And we're talking about Adventure of the Seas, where and when. So this was back in 2018 in November, I believe.

And, you know, being from the West Coast, there's not really too many options out here,

especially with Royal Caribbean as of late, sadly.

But yeah, so we flew over from California over to Florida to Fort Lauderdale.

And that's kind of where this kind of madness happened.

But more on that later.

But anyway, so we went on Adventures of the Seas for an eight-night cruise to the

Southern Caribbean.

And this was my first time of going to Caribbean in general.

So this was going to be a lot of first for me as with my girlfriend at the time as well,

and a couple family members as well. So it was really, really fun.

Nice. How did you settle on Adventure of the Seas?

So really, we kind of just settled on the date and also just the

attenero too. I mean we went to four I think four different places. We went to Labadee.
