Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean presentation is very much in alignment with an Olive Garden experience and I I don't feel bad saying that I I I mean that as a compliment
there will always be something to eat there's always something you can eat
Royal Caribbean food is better to the tune that we've changed how we've cruised because we've only cruised Carnival and after a couple so we'll call it Soo meals too many man chicken dried chickens just in an excuse able we we mixed it up and now uh we we're not looking back
