  • Bitter

    Matt’s Cruise Critic episode really turned me off. He has never been on Virgin Voyages and he has so much to say about it them and other cruise lines. Get over yourself. So one sided, which makes sense since this is the RCL Blog, but maybe don’t dedicate episodes to other lines then.

  • If you will

    You can always tell the intelligence of someone by how many times they use this idiotic saying. Poor Matt uses it 100x an episode. Between that and the awful Caribbean music this podcast is a D. Would not recommend.

  • Could be much better

    While I appreciate the host and all he does the constant use of “if you will” doesn’t do well for his intelligence and the steel drum music is way too loud. Hire a producer!
