Welcome to the Royal Crime blog podcast, a week of look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 4002.

Royal Caribbean may have canceled most of its June 2021 cruises, but there are still ships that will be sailing this summer.

And this week, I have a look at planning a summer 2021 cruise.

Here we go.

You know, after a Royal Caribbean announces, June cruises, usually when I get the

announcement, I start writing the blog post, even though I know it's probably coming

anyway, it's a little depressing. It's not a little depressing. It's actually very

depressing to have to say, ugh, another month without cruises, right? Especially after this

longer than a year

shutdown in the entire industry, you know, it's really a bitter pill to swallow every single time.

But this time, it wasn't quite so bad because I have a cruise booked on Adventure of the Seas in June.

I think a lot of people are considering going on a cruise this summer,

whether it's adventure of the seas out of the Bahamas or Vision of the Seas out of Bermuda,

Jewel the Seas out of Cyprus, perhaps our British friends over in the UK are considering

a cruise out of England on Anthem of the Seas or maybe if you live in Singapore, you've, of course,

had the option for quite a while now to go on to go on quantum indices out of Singapore, but you have choices there, and of course,

Odyssey of the Seas out of Israel for all of you keeping score at home. So there's choices this

summer. This is something different than last summer, last fall, and last winter. So going forward,

if you have a cruise booked or you're thinking about booking a cruise for this summer,

I kind of wanted to talk about kind of on a high level what to expect, what to think about

and what considerations you should have out there.
