Radiance of the Seas Review

Additional details
We had a nice easy boarding and it only took us about 15 minutes from getting up the elevator to boarding the ship.
Radiance is a beautiful ship and we did enjoy our cruise but Rhapsody set the bar and Radiance failed to meet it. There were no major issues on the ship but just a few little things that let it down. I dont think the room attendants were as thorough as they could have been - the rubbish wasnt emptied on a few occasions or the towels replaced even though they were where they were supposed to be to be replaced and we had to ask for top sheets for the kids beds as even though the room air con is individually controlled it was still hot and stuffy in the room at times, some of the staff could be abrupt and rude - not to us but to other people around us, the food at times was a little under par, there didnt seem to be as many activities available but this may have been due to 7 islands in 12 days and the tendering process didnt seem very smooth or as organised as on Rhapsody.
We visited Noumea, Lifou, Champagne Bay, Port Vila, Louganville, Mystery Island and Isle of Pines.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Cabin 7626Balcony cabin - just behind midship. Nice quiet room and there is a double bed with a pullman overhead and a single chair that pulls out to a bed. The only noise was the children running up and down the hallway on deck 8. We didnt hear anything from the Schooner bar or Colony club below. Let down was the cigarette smoke from the other balconies.
