Welcome to the Royal Crime Blog podcast, a week of look into the world of Royal Caribbean

Cruising. I'm your host Matt Hatchelberg, and this is episode number 327. The 50th anniversary

of Royal Caribbean's founding is this year, and the cruise line is celebrating a rich tradition of

cruising achievements, milestones, and accolades. Whether launching a new ship,

redefining the onboard experience or adding new activities,

Royal Caribbean has been a trailblazer in the cruise industry for half a century.

Their record of accomplishments include the dining experience on board as well.

Anyone that has cruised on Royal Caribbean before knows that eating on board has changed a lot over the years.

And this week, we're lucky enough to be joined by Royal Caribbean's head of food and beverage to take a look

back at the Cruise Line's legacy of dining. Here we go. Royal Caribbean is celebrating its

50 years of cruising excellence and innovations, including the cruise lines culinary

efforts. Dining on Royal Caribbean has transformed over the years with more and more new options,

innovations, and approaches to delivering outstanding cuisine from the dining rooms to the buffet

to the pizza and even robot bartenders. Royal Caribbean is never one to shy away from pushing the envelope with what can be delivered on its cruise ships.

And this week, we're taking a look back at 50 years of dining with Royal Caribbean, with the man whose job it is to make eating on a Royal Caribbean cruise an unforgettable experience.

Lincoln Desusa, who is Royal Caribbean International's global Vice President of Culinary Dining and Beverage,

joins me on this week's episode. Welcome, Lincoln.
