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 113.

Our good friend Susan is back to tell us all about her recent cruise on Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas.

I love having one of you on the podcast with me to talk about cruising, and we've got a great review of Susan's experiences on Independence of the Seas as she shares

what she loved about the ship, her experience is changing state rooms, and how her high school

reunion on board went.

Here we go.

Well, we're back this week with a listener of our Susan Widowson, who's back from her

back-to-back Independence of the Seas cruise.

Susan, welcome back to the podcast.

Thanks for having me back, Matt.

Oh, my pleasure.

And, you know, I was really excited to hear about your experience there.

We talked about your previews for this cruise.

In fact, back in episode 109, which I recommend if you haven't listened to this episode yet, pause, go back to 101, and I'm listening to Susan's plans, as we often like to do, preview the cruise and then review the cruise.

So you're back, Susan.

Most importantly, how was the back-to-back cruise?

Amazing.

As my husband and I always say, the ship is the destination for us.

And the ports come in second place and shore excursions are third place.

And keeping that in mind, this ship was amazing.

We've been on the Liberty, so we've been on the same class ship.
