Nice Getaway by
A Traveler from Odon, IN Sailing date: Jun 2009Pros: Variety of Food Cons: The coffee was awful The ship was in excellent condition and always kept clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodThe food was excellent with the exception of the coffee. It was bitter and extremely strong. I would have preferred a cold brew coffee in order to avoid the bitterness and you could add hot water to suit your preferred strength. Stateroom QualityI wish there could have been two overhead bunks instead of just one. With the foldout bed, it was difficult walking over it in order to get to the bathroom - especially in the middle of the night. Ship Staff QualityThe ship's staff was always friendly and helpful. Entertainment & ActivitiesSince we traveled as a family, I would have like to have seen more entertainment that was geared to families with teenagers. Children's ProgramsActivities seemed to be geared toward younger children.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), AlaskaThis was the best stop. Although there weren't sufficient bike rentals available, we were able to hike, visit the fish cannery museum and ride the zip line.
Don't Miss: Zip Line Juneau, AlaskaToo geared toward shopping and not enough family adventures at reasonable prices.
Ketchikan, AlaskaBetter assortment of family activities at this location. Although there were plenty of shopping possibilities, there were also other things to do at reasonable prices.
Don't Miss: The Lumberjack show. Skagway, AlaskaToo geared toward shopping and not enough family adventures at reasonable prices.

Royal Caribbean is good. by
Carol from Indiana Sailing date: Oct 2006Pros: Very pretty with lots of places to go. The ship was pretty and with lots of features. The dining experience and service was weak compared to the other ships and cruise lines we've experienced. We would still travel with Royal Caribbean, but not on this ship again. Entertainment & Activities
Entertainment: Shows were fine. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Relaxing & Informative! by
Sondra B. from Fredonia, AZ Sailing date: Aug 2012Pros: the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff Cons: feeling a little like herded cattle - although I suppose it's to be expected with so many guests in one place :) The Radiance of the Seas was beautiful! It had nearly every accomodation you could ask for & everything was within a short walking distance (even if you took the stairs instead of one of the 7 elevators). The staff was warm & welcoming - everything was planned & prepared like magic! A wonderful, relaxing experience. We look forward to going on another cruise! Ship QualityArtwork was everywhere: stairways, hallways, staterooms, dining rooms, everywhere! There was even an art auciton. Dining/FoodThere was food available somewhere on the ship during all waking hours (& hours when most guests were sleeping). Lots of variety to choose from! Stateroom QualityEverything we needed.

A Fabulous Midsize Ocean Liner by
Tony G from Tampa Fla Sailing date: Apr 2011Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing - this was a perfect experience What a fantastic - beautifully maintained ship. The rooms are nicely done and offer a great deal of storage. The ship employees are among the best of any line I have traveled with. Super clean vessel with lots and lots to offer. Ship QualityOne of the best designed midsize ships - Even at SOLD OUT of about 2500 passengers - this ship never appeared to be crowed. Lots of fun spaces and just as many quiet spaces. Dining/FoodGreat choices and many choices. Also the fact that you could have your dinner from the dining room served in your stateroom was a great plus. Stateroom QualityCozy yet flawless. The storage is amazing. Ship Staff QualityThe best ever. Entertainment & ActivitiesVery nice, and many options.

Radiance Cruise by
Douglas E from Racine, Wisconsin Sailing date: Mar 2011Pros: The excellent service and friendly mood. Sometimes you don't have both on vacation. Cons: People smoking on balcony next to you. We don't smoke. The coffee was not the best. There was one mix-up. I'm not certain if it happened through Orbitz or through Royal Carribbean. My wife and I were travelling with another couple in the stateroom next to us. I booked the cruise for both of us and made it clear to the booking agent that we were travelling together. We were not seated at the same table for dinner and our departure groups and time were different. We of course had this corrected in both cases and the staff was very accomodating, but this should not have happened when I stated we were traveling together.
This was the first cruise for my wife and I. It was a wonderful first cruise experience. We really were not sure what to expect. The service and friendly atmosphere that the staff at Royal Carribbean gave to my wife and I was outstanding. When we look for a cruise in the future we will look to Royal Carribbean first before looking at other cruise lines. Ship QualityI cannot imagine any of this being any better. Dining/FoodOutstanding. I miss our waiter already. Stateroom QualityPerfect again! Ship Staff QualityThe entertainmet staff was superior!
It felt like this was their one and only cruise this year and they were enjoying it as much as we were. I didn't inquire how long they had been on the ship but it is amazing to us how friendly almost everyone was on the ship. Entertainment & ActivitiesWith the exception of the adult comedian show (which did not require the f-word in every other sentence) the other shows were great. The comedian show was much funnier earlier in the week when it was for all ages. People laughed more and did not walk out. It took away a little bit of the perfect experience that we had. Children's ProgramsThe pirate skit that the liitle kids did at the beginning of one of the shows was very cute. Although we were not travelling with our kids (18 & 21) my wife and I enjoyed watching how much fun the other kids were having on the ship. Great job.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), MexicoFirst time zip lining. Very warm day. Rough road to the site. Poverty everywhere. Not an up-lifting experience. The ziplining experience was great. Very careful and friendly staff. We may recommend this trip with some slight reservations.
Don't Miss: Bio Maya (Ziplining) Cozumel, MexicoWe toured the Amazing Secret River which is a cave tour that involves wading and swimming through portions of the cave which are 12 feet deep. All other cave tours will pale in comparison to this tour. We will never forget this experience. The ferry boat ride was horrible. A couple dozen people vomitted around us. We think the shot of anice liquor after our cave tour kept us from getting sick.

Cozumel, MexicoI was only there one day but even though the weather did not cooperate, we manged to still enjoy the beach. The shopping was Ok, not great. The agressiveness of the shop clerks gets to be annoying after awhile and turns you away from wanting to shop.
