We have taken several cruises on liners such as P&O's early ships (fairstar , fair pricess, pacific sky); Dawn Princess, Sun Princess, Sapphire Princess and Cunards Queen Victoria '09.
We thought we would step outside our comfort zone and try R.C.I Radiance of the seas. A lot of people have given her so many great reviews so we thought we would try it out and see what we were missing. I wished I had taken the negative views more seriously! It apears that the general public accept standard offerings as quality.
On first appearance from land she looks like a fantastic ship and she is. Upon embarkation the initial feel and layout of the ship is pretty good. Open wide outside spaces and a great glass atrium inside the main area. The glass lifts were great and something quite different to other liners. She handled the rough seas very well.
