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 19.

This week, it's all about what to wear on your Royal Caribbean cruise.

It's sometimes overlooked, but packing clothes for your cruise is a pretty big aspect of pre-cruise planning, and Royal Caribbean has guidelines about what you can and can't wear.

from getting to and from the pool areas.

Otherwise, casual clothing is pretty much dictated by the weather outside that largely

determines what people are going to be wearing.

For example, Caribbean cruises, you're all often to see guests wearing shorts, t-shirts,

sandals, and if it's warm enough.
