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 281.

It should come as no surprise when you talk to another Royal Caribbean fan who starts listing policies, offers, or changes that they would love to see Royal Caribbean have.

After all, we are cruise fans who tend to cruise a lot, and over the years, we pick up

on areas of improvements.

Sometimes these improvements are sweeping and grand changes, and other times it's just

something we want to see change because, well, it irks us personally.

This week, we're sharing some of our top wishes for realistic changes to occur

in 2019 as it pertains to Royal Caribbean. Here we go.

A somewhat annual tradition on the Royal Green Blog podcast is around the end of the year

to reflect on our past year of cruising and look to the coming year and share some wishes we have for what we hope to see change appear or otherwise improve on when the calendar flips over to start again.

These are wishes we make with the caveat that they must be somewhat realistic, so no wishing for free cruises

or Royal Caribbean Institute in 90% discount fare allowed here. And to help think of our own brand

of Royal Caribbean wishes is someone who's been known to stand on the edge of his toilet hanging

a clock and regularly have a revelation, a vision of cruising knowledge. It's Billy from cruise habit.com.

Welcome back, Billy.

Thank you very much.

And I appreciate it back to the future reference every time.

I think last year we opened with a timekeeper reference.

Yes, and you didn't get it.

So I feel better that at least we're, you're back on track.

We're all,
