My daughter and I sailed on Radiance Jan.2nd from San Diego. We had a wonderful cruise on our favourite ship, our cabin was 7040 which is a forward cabin, usually we prefer a mid-ship cabin but 7040 was perfect, the balcony was almost twice the size of a regular D2, this was I think because this part of the ship juts out a bit as it gets nearer to the front. Elevators were right round the corner, (no noise at all) very easy to get to the Spa and Solarium. I had a lounger on the balcony and spent a few hours in the afternoon in perfect peace. We did not use the dining room for dinner any night, we much prefer the Windjammer for our evening meal and the waiters and management were a great bunch. They soon get to know you and we always tip our waiter at the end of the cruise. We used the Seaview once or twice but to be honest are never really impressed with this establishment. The overall condition of the ship is still as good as it was on our first cruise on her a good few years ago.

The Concierge Club on 10 was was great. We were looked after by Georgina who was doing a temporary job...but she was the best concierge I have met for a while!! hope she remains as concierge for a long time. This was our first ever cruise from San Diego and it was so convenient, we stayed at Embassy Suites on Pacific Highway and were only a few minutes to the terminal.

Mazatlan, Cabos and Vallarta were excellent, but Manzanillo was a total waste of a day, the ship was berthed in a commercial dock, there was a terrible smell that hung around all day long, and there were a group of workmen on the pier who had a pneumatic drill going from the time we arrived til the time we left. Ixthapa was ok.

Cabin D2

As I have said before 7040 was a great cabin, close to elevators and stairs and large balcony was a definate plus.
