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

I'm your host Matt Hatchberg, and this is episode number 95.

Planning a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation is always a fun experience because planning a cruise is probably the next best thing to actually taking a cruise.

This week, we're previewing one of our listeners' upcoming Royal Caribbean cruise aboard Liberty of the Seas.

It's a nine-night sailing, and we'll discuss the wise, hows, and yums of this cruise.

Here we go.

With summer nearly upon us, a lot of our listeners are about to embark upon their summer vacation cruises, including me, in just a couple of months.

It's always exciting when your cruise has come up, and I think it's a lot of fun to share

in that pre-cruise excitement by talking about cruises our listeners are booked.

And one of my goals with Royal Caribbean blog podcasts is to help you plan your cruise vacation.

And I think by sharing certain aspects of other people's cruise planning experiences, it can help everyone else when it comes to them choosing and planning their cruise vacations.

This week, we're talking to Rob Chang from Los Angeles, California, about his family's 9-9 cruise on Liberty of the Seas out of Cape Liberty, New Jersey.

Rob, welcome to the podcast.

Hey, Matt, great to talk to you. How are you doing?

Outstanding. I'm glad to have you on here, Rob. Talk about your cruise here. And, you know,

let's talk about something. Let's start at the beginning. First of all, who are you cruising with?

My wife, my lovely wife, and two daughters, nine and five. Seems like the nine's going on on 19 pretty soon, but, a nine and five.

Seems like the nine's going on 19 pretty soon, but yeah, nine and five.

I'll be in your shoes very soon.

My daughter right now is four and four months, so I've got two of them, and I'm sure I'll be dealing with what you're doing in just a couple of years.

Yes, yeah, fun, fine.

So one of the things I love talking about, Rob, is why we try. doing just a couple of years. Yes. Fun, fine. Yep.
