Welcome to the Royal Crime and Blog podcast, a weekly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your house Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 175.

Every day on a Royal Caribbean ship is a great opportunity, and everyone looks forward to spending any time they can on board a real Caribbean ship.

However, the last day of your cruise, the disembarkation day, well, it's not the most eagerly awaited day of any particular

cruise, but it is still a very important day. And on this week's episode, we're sharing with you

tips and advice on how to handle your last day on board and what the disembarkation

process is going to be like. Here we go.

You know, there's many days that we all look forward to on a cruise.

Maybe it's Embarcation Day.

Maybe it's that visit to the port you've been looking forward to for many years.

Perhaps it's even the day that one of Royal Crimin's private destinations.

But I don't think anybody looks forward to what we're going to talk about today,

which is Disembarkation Day.

But that doesn't mean it's not important to talk about,

especially to be aware of what

goes on on that faithful final day of the cruise. And to bring light to this rather dull day

brought on board, my good friend, Billy Hirsch from cruisehabit.com. Welcome back to the podcast,

Billy. Thank you for having to the podcast, Billy.

Thank you for having me again and, you know, for bringing me on for the most depressing show you've ever done.

Yes, the show is bound to depress everybody. It's the last day. And the reason why it's depressing is because no one wants to get off the ship. In fact, Billy, you start getting depressed the day before the last day. Oh, easily. On a three-day cruise, I just, after I have lunch on Embarcation Day, I begin getting depressed.

It's all over, people.

I wish that were a lie.
