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

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 321.

Of all the reasons to go on a Royal Caribbean cruise, a wedding is not only one of the most special,

but also a really fun one.

This week, I had the chance to sell on Mariner the Seas for a weekend cruise where a good friend tied the knot. And today, I have a look at what it's like to go to a

wedding on a Royal Caribbean ship. Here we go. When it comes to going on a Royal Caribbean cruise,

that doesn't take a whole lot to convince me to go on one. So when a friend of mine offered,

or invited me, I should say, to go to their wedding on a Royal Caribbean cruise, well, let's just say

I RSVP pretty darn quickly to that.

In fact, a lot of my friends were able to come on this wedding.

And going on a cruise for a wedding is kind of an interesting experience because it takes

the cruise vacation that I have come to love and enjoy.

And it takes a little twist, a different level, if you will.

And actually joining me on this episode of the podcast is someone who joined me for the

wedding.

It was a lot of fun to go on there.

It's Brandon Owen from the great metropolis of Oviedo, Florida.

Welcome, Brandon.

Thank you, Matt.

Appreciate you having me on.

Absolutely. We actually, Brandon and I not only went on this cruise together, we're recording this episode hours after getting home. So if we're not the pepiest, most energetic people on the

planet right now, you'll have to understand we're going through the post-cruise blues.
