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 152.

When you start listing some of the things that we all love doing in a Royal Caribbean cruise,

often you'll hear stories about great experiences on board, and for the adults,

a lot of times those memories tend to happen in the bars and lounges on Royal Caribbean ships.

entertainment, or even a place to get up and dance.

research topic is Michael Poole. Michael, welcome to the show. Hi, Matt. Thanks for having me back. You

You know, I've prideed this podcast and Royal Caribbean blog in general, on hard-hitting research,

Isn't that the truth? I have definitely been a big fan of the drink packages, and I have explored all the bars

across all the ships in the fleet, so this is going to be a lot of fun.
