Radiance of the Seas 11 Sep 2009 Alaska & Pacific Coast
This was our tenth Alaska cruise. We have also taken several Pacific coastal cruises. This was a repositioning cruise from Vancouver to Alaska, then down the coast finishing in San Diego. The ports included Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, Hubbard Glacier (cruising), Sitka, Victoria, San Francisco (two full days) and San Diego.
We flew to Vancouver a day early and were glad we did. It has been a few years since we flew into Vancouver and we did not realize how long it took to get through Canadian Customs. Several planes had landed around the same time as ours and hundreds of people were lined up waiting in the Customs line. It took us about 2 hours to get through and on our way to the hotel. Had we been heading for the ship, we may not have made it by the appointed time.
Cabin Review
Outside cabins that adjoin have beds with the head against a sidewall. Other outside cabins have the head of the bed under the window. Having to climb onto the bed to look out the window is a real incontinence. Ours was much better.
The closet was a little short on room. There is not enough draw space, especially in the nightstands. Location is very convenient about half way between the dining room and the theatre on Deck 4.
