YouTube Video Description

Matt Hochberg, founder of the Royal Caribbean Blog, joins us this week to answer all of our questions ahead of our fast-approaching sailing on RCCL's Oasis of the Seas. Matt is a Royal Caribbean expert, and we were really hoping he might help alleviate some Sam's apprehension about sailing on Royal for the first time. Matt gave us some truly great tips about dining, shows and some Royal-specific offerings we had to try (and a few he recommended we skip). If you're a Disney Cruise Line fan who's been thinking about making the jump from DCL to Royal, this is a great show for you!
