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

I'm your host Matt Hachberg, and this is episode number 284.

Many first-time cruisers have concerns about what a railroad cruise is all about and what it entails.

In fact, some even will avoid going on a cruise altogether because they're worried about one of these issues.

This week, we're here to tell you any of those doubts they are just plain wrong and why

avoiding a cruise is not the way to go.

Here we go.

You can debate the virtues of going on a cruise, but all too often we hear from friends or family

members that have not gone on a cruise, that they refuse to take a cruise vacation out of a

misguided fear or myth.

And I'm sure you've spoken to someone about going on a cruise and they look at you funny

and then cite some commonly held misbelief about cruising that keeps them from going

on a ship themselves.

And this week, we're here to explain why they're all wrong and why in most cases usually the opposite of their fears is true.

And speaking of my fears, we have a Billy Hirsch from cruisehabit.com.

Join me on this week's episode to talk all about cruising myths.

Billy, welcome back to the Royal Cream blog podcast.

Thank you for having me.

Two of my favorite things,

talking about cruises,

and telling people

that what they think is wrong.
