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 150.

Royal Caribbean has been actively working to revitalize many of its cruise ships over the last few years,

and each multi-million dollar project has resulted in new and improved experiences for guests across the ship.

Perhaps among the most impressive updates any Royal Creamy Ship has received is Liberty

the Seas, which had a lot of work done to her earlier this year.

Someone who just was on Liberty of the Seas earlier this month joins me this week to discuss

the changes made to the ship as we review his recent cruise.

Here we go.

Going on any Royal Creamy ship is always a treat, and frankly, I would sign up for any ship in a heartbeat to be able to go on one right now.

But, you know, when it comes to Royal Caribbean refurbishments, the work they do to the ship really makes it feel like it's a brand new ship.

And today, we're going to be talking about one of those recent refurbishments, Liberty of the Seas.

And joining me to talk about this is someone who just went on Liberty of the Seas.

It's Rob Chang from California.

Rob, welcome back to the Royal Crimean Blog podcast.

Hey, Matt.

Great to be back.

Thank you for having me.

Absolutely. We had you on a little while ago talking about one of your other recent creases, and when you told me you went on Liberty of the Seas, well, first of all, I was very jealous.

And second of all, I wanted to get you on here because Liberty just went through really in a very impressive month-long dry duck in January 2016, where she got a lot of new features and things that are not just, you know, nice to have, certainly,

but also some things that were brand new for any Royal Critanship at the time.

And we're going to talk all about that.
