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

I'm your host Matt Hachberg, and this is episode number 461.

I've got a cruise coming up this week, but rather than me previewing it, which we could still do,

but I'm actually going to be talking about some of the cool things, my top picks to do in any of these ports that we're visiting

in case maybe your cruise is going there in the near future.

Usually when I have a cruise coming up, I do a cruise preview of it.

And I'm not against doing those kinds of things, but I wanted to mix it up a little bit.

And actually, somebody in our YouTube channel recommended, or asked me to do this, in fact,

what are the top excursions he said top three

that I would do in each of the ports we're visiting and in this itiner we have a fairly

port intensive itiner we're going on mariner of the seas for an eight night I'm gonna call

eastern Caribbean itinerary yeah it's Eastern Caribbean a perfect day cornered real Caribbean so I was

right we're going to Labadee San Juan st. K. Kitts, St. Croix, and Perfect Day at Cocoa Key.

So I'm going to break down each of these ports and list some of the things that I would recommend

doing either based on my own experience or certainly hearing from other folks out there.

And, you know, I hope that, again, maybe this provides a little better help for a lot of other people.

These are pretty common ports, although I think St. Croix is a pretty uncommon port.

Nonetheless, I think it's cool to talk about these kinds of things.

So I'm going to go, I think, in order.

And we're going to start with Lobody, of course, Royal Caribbean's private destination.

For this one, we actually booked a cabana.

Whenever I go to Labadee, I'm pretty sure every single time we go, we get a cabana, maybe not every, every single time, but that's certainly my plan.
