We did the October repositioning from Boston to San Juan. It was my first Royal Caribbean cruise in ten years and first one since covid ( NCL Dawn 5 years ago) the ship reminded me of the Navigator, Mariner and Explorer ships. It was a great size not too big or small. Our balcony room was adequate. Cabin steward was great. It was an adjoining cabin and could hear a screaming child the first and last night. The gym was the smallest Ive ever seen with about 1/4 machines broken and no closed circuit TV. Though I was glad they never seemed to close.

Luckily the sea days had great weather as there were very few programmed activities. I enjoyed the early seating in MDR, tablemate and the food. Strangely the second night we had totally different people, one couple was reassigned and a family of 4 was seated there by mistake. It was rectified the next day but the original people were made to sit elsewhere because of this family. Dinner was a little disorganized with one couple coming at 5.15 and another at 6pm for 5.30 seating. Overall a good intro cruise and will definitely cruise w NCL ag as in.
