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

I'm your house, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 372.

Anniversaries are as good and excuse as any to book a cruise, and this week's crew story is about Joy's 25th wedding anniversary aboard Freedom of the Seas.

Joy shares what made this crew so memorable for her as well as a few good lessons learned

as well.

Here we go.

This week, we're back with another great crew story, because these crew stories are an

opportunity to share some fun times on cruises, since there are no cruises going on right

now.

I've been taking the opportunity to talk about some previous Royal Caribbean cruises since there are no cruises going on right now. I've been taking the opportunity to

talk about some previous Royal Caribbean cruises that our listeners have enjoyed to, you know,

kind of reminisce a little bit, remember the good times, and otherwise, I think also share

in some memorable cruises. It's after all, those are always the best kind. And joining me on today's

podcast episode is Joy Prally. Joy, welcome to the Royal Green Blog podcast. Hello. And which ship

are we talking about today? Freedom of the seas. Okay. Which, what's here? What should I set

the time machine coordinates back to? Well, it just so happens that my husband and I used to go cruising every end of August, September. So it's actually been seven years exactly since we were on that cruise.

Freedom of the Cs. Okay. So was there a significance of this cruise why did
