Welcome to the Royal Crime Blog Podcast, where we can look into the world

of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeburg,

and this is episode number 522.

This week, because at the end of the year,

we're doing our annual wishes for Royal Caribbean,

in which myself and Billy wish for three things

in the coming year to come to Royal Caribbean.

Here we go.

Being that at the end of the year, it is time to look back.

Actually, look forward.

We're going to look back and look forward, both.

But it's always time to make predictions, make our wishes for the new year.

And there's at least seven people who look forward to this segment every single year.

And joining me on today's episode is, of course, Billy Hirsch from cruisehabit.com.

Billy, welcome back to the Rokeman Block podcast.

Thank you very much.

I think last year I noted that threes of people had asked. So it sounds like we're up one. And, you know, that's that's improvement, man. I mean, I swear if somebody asked me like every year I go probably two thirds of the year, don't really think about the episode. And then somebody brings it up, hey, when you can have Billy on to talk about the wishes for the year? And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a thing, isn't it?

All right, well, we can bring Billy out of frozen carbonite and reaclimate him to society and talk about cruising in 20, well, this year at 2024.

But before we do that, Billy, we got to look over what our predictions were from last year and how right or wrong we were.

I always love this part because it allows everyone to hear us to mental gymnastics to say that we were somehow right.

Yes, yes.
