Good evening, my friends, and welcome to the Royal Caribbean blog Podcast, a weekly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host Matt Houchberg, and we're celebrating our podcast 100th episode with a special live broadcast that we did on July 1st, 2015.

I'm really excited that we were able to make it to 100 episodes, and I wanted to include as many of you as possible to join in the celebration because

after all, it's because of all of you. This podcast has been so much fun to do week after week.

So this week, we took phone calls during this episode. It's about basically anything in

Royal Caribbean, whether it be about trip planning questions that you have or a comment that

is about something you read on Royal Caribbean blog or maybe people just wanted to call it and say hello, it was all good and welcome. I also wanted to

discuss the topic that's popped up on the podcast here over the last couple of weeks, big ships

versus small ships. If you were booking a cruise right now, would you prefer one of the smaller

ships like the radiance class or do you go like them big and you want to go

for a waste class or bust so i wanted to hear what our listeners had to say and what they

might recommend is someone that is new to roller cribbing and why so this was recorded again on

july first we had such a great time doing this and i'm really hopeful we'll do it again so

enjoy uh cheers to everyone and let's get started with our first phone call of the evening so enjoy.

Cheers to everyone and let's get started with our first phone call of the evening,

assuming everything works.

Hi, you're, oh, here we go.

Who are we talking with?
