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 25.

This week, let's talk about a major component of any Royal Caribbean cruise, the main dining

don't like the main dining room experience for a number of reasons.

And you know what?

That's okay too.
