Welcome to the Royal Green Blog podcast, or we can look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm here with Matt Hodgeburg, and this is episode number 563.

Royal Caribbean has made it no secret that they are targeting Orlando.

It's a tribute to all the resorts there, but mostly Walt Disney World.

And to that point, I wanted to bring on Len Testa from touringplans.com to talk about why Royal Crudian

is going after this market, what it means, and how they're actually going to compete with

the mouse. Here we go.

One of the big trends in cruising these days is obviously cruise lines going after new business,

and Royal Caribbean has not made it a secret.

That's grammatically correct.

That they want to target not only new cruisers,

but they really want to go after the Florida vacation market.

And when they say Florida vacation market,

when they say land resorts,

they're really talking about Disney World.

And today, I wanted to bring on the foremost expert on all things, Walt Disney World.

He is not only a member of Mensa.

He is not only a sourcing founder and funder of a Pittsburgh Steelers.

They don't call it spring training.

Training camp podcast, I think,

back in the day.

And also, of course, a very good friend of mine, Mr. Len tested from touring plans.com.
