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

I'm your host Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 42.

It's time once again to invite one of our awesome podcast listeners to join us on this podcast.

And this week, we have Marie Koshigano of New Jersey, who's going on freedom of the Seas later this summer over July 4th.

We're going to discuss her cruise plans on board and onshore.

Here we go.

Joining me on this episode is Marie Casigano of New Jersey, and Marie is kind enough to join

us to talk about her upcoming cruise on Freedom of the Seas.

Welcome to the Royal Caribbean blog podcast, Marie.

Thank you, Matt.

Absolutely glad to have you on here.

And Marie sent me an email about some other stuff we were going to talk about.

And she has some great comments and questions that were for the podcast.

So Marie, why don't you come on the podcast?

It's a lot easier.

It's a lot more fun.

I'd like to have people on here, so it's not just me talking to myself. And I thought you'd have a really interesting cruise coming

up because you're going on Freedom of the Seas, which is a great chip. I've been on there

many, many times. And you're also sailing on it, doing Eastern Caribbean itinerary over the

4th of July. And I think that's a really cool thing, because, you know, July 4th is obviously a big holiday here in the United States.

And a lot of people always wonder, you know, what does Real Caribbean do about that?

But we'll get to that in a minute.
