We've taken 5 cruises on X. 4 were in Aqua, 1 was in a suite( great price due to cancellations in 2020/2021. We didn't have a retreat sun deck since we were on Reflection last September. We recently booked an OV room for Eclipse in October. It was super inexpensive and since we live in LA, we can drive to the port. I have to admit, it will be strange not to eat in Aqua, although a lot of the meals we ate on previous cruises were in OV café because of excursions. I don't think we'll feel out of place.
