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

I'm your host Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 36.

Royal Caribbean recently announced its brand new approach to the dining for the quantum class cruise ships, the quantum of the seas, and anthem of the seas.

This week, I want to explore this brand new innovation and discuss what makes it so much different than anything else we've seen from Royal Caribbean in the past, as well as share my experience at the Dynamic Dining

Reveal event in New York City the other week. Here we go. Royal Caribbean dropped a bombshell

on everyone when it announced Dynamic Dining would be the new manner in which cruise ship guests

would eat dinner on board its quantum class ships. If you haven't heard yet, the core concept of dynamic dining would be the new manner in which cruise ship guests would eat dinner on board its quantum class ships.

If you haven't heard yet, the core concept of dynamic dining is Roe Caribbean is removing the main dining room completely and instead offering a number of complimentary and specialty restaurants, and specialty restaurants cost extra, for guests to choose from.

Passengers can book specific times for any of these restaurants in advance

prior to their cruise or opt-book reservations onboard the ship. So no more main dining

room, no more the same weights off every night, and no more formal nights. Instead, we get five

new complimentary restaurants and a slew of specialty restaurants that cost extra in addition.

You can book a restaurant you want to dine at in advance via a brand new Royal Caribbean app that

is being rolled out or by calling Royal Caribbean directly or by booking something on board the ship.

Royal Caribbean is really pushing hard for its guests to book something in advance for the best

selection of opportunity.

So they want you to book weeks, if not months in advance, as opposed to waiting for the ship.

Dynamic dining will be available on the Quantum of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, and the yet-to-beenamed third quantum-class cruise ship.

Moreover, dynamic dining will not expand to other ships in the fleet anytime soon.

The new former Royal Caribbean CEO Adam Goldstein, of course, that's referring to if you didn't hear earlier this week.

Royal Caribbean promoted Adam Goldstein from CEO of Royal Caribbean to a higher position up in the corporate ladder.

Thus, there is now a need to find a new CEO.
