Welcome to the Royal Crime blog podcast.

We can look into the world of Royal Caribbean Cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 479.

If you haven't heard, Royal Crippines is going to be deploying a new menu to the main dining room beginning in January 2023.

A lot of our listeners wanted to know more about this change and what to expect as it relates to the main

dining room change, why they're making the change, and what sort of things can we expect?

I was recently on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Season.

I got a chance to sit down with Lincoln DeSouza, who's the vice president of food and

beverage for Royal Caribbean International.

I had a chance to talk with him about the change, why they're making the change,

and really go into all the who, what, where, and whens of this dining room menu change and what

you should expect when you go on a cruise in 2023. Here we go.

I'm once again joined by Lincoln DeSuzza, the Vice President Food and Beverage for Royal Caribbean International.

Lincoln, welcome back.

Thank you.

Glad to be back.

Absolutely.

It's no secret.

There's a main dining room menu that's underway on Symphony of the Seas.

Before we even talk about that, let's talk about the why.

Why now to try a new menu?

Yeah, so as you know, our philosophy of Royal Caribbean is really one of tradition, evolution, and revolution.
