Embarkation at Fremantle did have a queue, but we didn't notice the delay while we chatted to other passengers. Relax and enjoy the start of a holiday!

Radiance did seem to have more space per passenger as we were told and only appeared crowded during breakfast and lunch in the Windjammer at peak period. We really enjoyed the cruise and the ambience on board. There was a real mix of nationalities on this cruise, with roughly one-third Australian, British and American. Very rough, as there were many Canadians as well as a handful of some French, Swedish and other nationalities on board.

The Schooner Bar was always full but the Colony Club seem very under utilised. When activities were held there, we seemed to be rushed or pushed out immediately afterwards. Hey, if you have a lot of people in a venue who are ordering drinks, why move them on? For example, the musicians who we at the back watching during one of the "game shows" could have come back to play for half and hour while the atmosphere was good. A staff member advising there would be a DJ in the Stardust Lounge did not encourage everyone in the Colony Club to rush off there. Most would have wandered off to bed. If the musicians had played on for a while, we would have remained too, and ordered another cocktail.

Cabin Review

Interior Stateroom

Cabin L

Deck 10 forward, in the corridor to the bridge. Quiet. Spacious as far as cabins go. Motion does not bother us at all, but being on deck 10 it would be noticed by the faint hearted. Absolutely great position, being just one deck up to the solarium and pool deck, were we spent most of our time.
