The Radiance of the Seas is an older ship, that is looking a tad tired and in need of a facelift in saying that though we had the best entertainment on board the Cruise Director, Activites Manager and entertainment staff were one of the most enthusiastic group I have seen on a cruise ship. Plenty of activities during the day. The Captain was very engaging and came on the morning show with the Cruise Director and staff on board were a very happy bunch, which made up for some small things. Weather was also a tad cool, prefer warmer but that was out of our hands. Boarding and disembarking was great very quick no issues. My main gripe is the food in the Windjammer at breakfast was cold and lunchtime not very inspiring, desserts same everyday. We did not dine there in the evening but were told they cooked steak and fish for you, have to try that next time. Dining room experience was great, we were on My Time Dining, and really enjoyed booking when we wanted to eat and went with sharing table, met some lovely people. Cabin spacious, bed was not comfortable though too hard for us we like softer beds, bathroom very compact.

Cabin was spacious, cabin steward was really good, he was like an invisible fairy, beds made room cleaned, bathroom clean.

Port Reviews

Sydney (Australia)

Always enjoy Sydney, on our return went across to Manly on the ferry and returned and had lunch at Circular Quay.

Melbourne

Caught the tram into the city and did some shopping, my Husband is from Melbourne so have already seen a lot, but for anyone visiting the river is lovely lots of cafes/restaurants to enjoy, St. Kilda also great, and the markets if you go on a day they are open.

Hobart

Been to Hobart a few times so just walked into town and had a coffee.
