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

I'm here I'm Matt Hodgeberg and this is episode number 247.

If there's one thing RealCrimand is best known for, it may be the incredible cruise ships it designs.

When you go on a Royal Caribbean Cruise, the ship is more than just a floating hotel.

It is the epicenter of activities, shows, dining, entertainment, more food, relaxation,

splashing, things to eat, competitions, and more food.

So it should come as no surprise to hear when your Royal Caribbean Ship pulls into port.

There are a lot of folks who stay on board instead of venturing onshore.

This week, we explore the best reasons to consider staying on board

your Royal Caribbean ship during a port of call and how to take advantage of your time on board

when the ship is docked. Here we go. I remember my first Royal Caribbean cruise that I ever

took on Explorer this season, being simply blown away by the grandeur of the ship and the vast array of things to do there. I then remember

going on Oasis of the season at the very first time and being even more impressed by the choice

of activities. It's still astonishing to me to this day to think about all the things you can do

on a Royal Korean ship, which is why this week I wanted to focus on the idea of staying on board your Royal Caribbean ship while in port.

I remember when I first heard that there were people that would not get off the ship in

port and said stay on board the ship, when I was first heard about that, I was just, I was shocked,

quite honestly, that people would do that.

To me, it would be like, it sounded almost like

going to New York City and staying in your hotel room, or buying a movie ticket for a movie

you really wanted to see, and then not actually seeing the movie, instead skipping it,

or opting to stay home for no particular reason. Like, it just seemed counterintuitive, right?
