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

I'm your host Matt Hotschberg, and this is episode number 422.

I just went on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas, the brand new cruise ship,

newest ship in the fleet, and my first time on a quantum ultra-class ship.

What was it like?

What did I love and what do I think of Odyssey of the Seas?

We've got a full review on this week's episode.

Here we go.

Anytime I get to go on a new Royal Caribbean cruise ship, it's always extra exciting.

And after, I don't know, 17 months, whatever the count is of no cruises, you know, going on a new cruise ship and kind of getting back into the swing of things of that type of excitement is extra welcome because, of course, it's been so long.

It's just nice to be able to be doing this again.

And I just sailed on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas for a six-night Western Caribbean cruise.

And this is my first time on Odyssey of the Seas.

And also joining me on this podcast and also was on board with me is Billy Hirsch from

cruisehabit.com.

No doubt, Billy is recording this podcast.

We're back at home now.

And I'm sure all the windows are shut. There is

some evanescence playing in the background. And I believe the world's tiniest violin may or may

not be on his shoulder. Billy, welcome back to the Rolkrimand blog podcast. You have absolutely

nailed my my post-cruz depression playlist and routine but I'm glad to be here

talking ship with you at least.
