    Yes!  We were on the first sailing last week!  I have the cruise compasses and will upload them when I get them scanned in.  Check in was a breeze, as long as you had all your paperwork in order.  We were in an early boarding group and of course lots of people showed up hours too early.  We had a short wait to get into the 1:00 PM line after arriving at about 12:45 PM and dropping luggage off.  Then we breezed right on in and onto the ship.  On the ship things were smooth and no issues that i could see.  The Windjammer was open for dinner, so I assume it was at least 50% capacity, but never asked anyone.  Several ports required excursions to explore the city, but the ports had "approved vendors" at the port you could use if you are against booking through Royal. We used Royal for our excursions, and they were all great.  Disembarkation was smooth as well, just wait in your room until your tag is called.

    FYI, if you are traveling to Puerto Rico, there are some non-Royal things you need to know.  Of course, YMMV.
    You need to complete a travel declaration form in order to leave the airport and must show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test < 72 hours before arrival
    Many stores/restaurants require proof of vaccination (and ID) to enter
    Some Hotels also require proof of vaccination or negative COVID test when checking in (we stayed at the Sheraton in Old San Juan both pre and post cruise)
    Masks are required indoors and when outside in groups of > 50 people 
    when disembarking the ship, they will auto enroll you in the Sara Alert program and you will get a survey via email each day to ask about any symptoms.  We received our first email yesterday (once we were back home) and received another today.  Not sure how long we will get them, but we are answering them to be safe and not inadvertently get a fine.
