My friend and I chose this cruise bc it was the only 5 day cruise out of Boston with the New England and Canada intinerary.

Our boarding was delayed because the Coast guard wanted to inspect the ship due to Serenade returning from a summer overseas...at least we knew the ship was safe!! You could also see Royal’s procedures in place to ensure a smooth boarding process and it was. It’s just that the ship was completely booked so there were a lot of people boarding at once rather than trickling on all day. The rooms opened promptly at 2.

Our room was very nice and clean and our room attendant Juliarta was amazing...he made our cruise special with his attentiveness, efficiency and sense of humor! We were on the starboard side of the ship and we got both sunrise and sunset from our balcony!

9530. Like I mentioned above, the starboard side was a great side to be on..we were forward next to the elevators, but there was no noise from the elevators..If you were in the middle near the Centrum, it tended to get noisy..You could definitely feel the motion of the ship..but it was never bad enough to cause sea sickness..This room had a ton of storage and we were able to completely unpack( lots of drawers, shelves) and put our large suitcases in the closet, Lots of hangers available...Water pressure and temps in the shower were great..even better than my home! And there was a full soap dispenser in the shower..the shower door bowed out so there was ample space.
