This was my first real cruise and it was perfect! Departure out of Miami was surprisingly smooth and the views were great. We had one sea day which gave us plenty of time to explore the ship. I found FOTS to be not too big but not too small with plenty to do. The promenade is beautiful and I really enjoyed the theater productions. The pool deck was very crowded but that's to be expected, I guess. ...
This was my 1st cruise with them and boy did it leave an impression. The live music played on the pool deck was so bad. The 2 gentlemen tried their best but were off the mark with the covers they were playing. Then there was the men's restroom outside the Reflections dining room that had "fluid" overflowing from it into the hallway leading to the Reflections dining room. Despite this, the ...
We had a great time on our 7 night Alaska cruise on the Brilliance. This cruise left from Vancouver and went to Sitka, Juneau, Skagway & Haines and Tracy Arms Fiord.
We planned on flying in a couple days earlier but due to my work we flew into Seattle the day before and did some sightseeing and then took the Flixbus to Vancouver to meet ours friends who were joining us on this cruise. Flying ...
My husband, two 20-something sons and I were on this 7 day cruise out of Galveston to Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel. This was our first cruise on RCL, and my sons' first cruise anywhere. This ship seemed to be completely full, so waits for elevators were common as were lines at the main dining rooms for dinner. The wait for an elevator to disembark at the end of the cruise was particularly ...
My first RCI Cruise was on the Grandeur of the Seas,
After being on the Mariner(11/22) Wonder (3/23)I decided to go small & go back to one of my favorite ships.
The service was excellent both in the Windjammer & MDR Deck 5.
Entertainment was good & viewed 2 movies 80 for Brady & my name is OTTO.
The ship while older still shines & it is refreshing to have a smaller ship to Navigate ...
I was last aboard Radiance in 2017 for a seven night cruise from Seward to Vancouver. She is aging well and remains a typical, classic cruise ship reminiscent of days gone by in comparison with the newer mega ships with dozens (or so it seems) of water slides which threatens to turn a cruise ship into a floating water-themed amusement park with a few other venues thrown in for good measure. For ...
As a long time RCCL cruiser this is our third time on this ship. We figured we couldn’t go wrong since the other times were great. It all started with our Anniversary package not being in our room. The very cheapest of decorations were up, but no champagne or strawberries. We were told it to wait until the end of the night and it “should” show up. By the next morning we made our first trip to the ...
The idea of taking the cruise was to visit Amsterdam beforehand and cruise along Norway villages were the two countries that we wanted to visit for the longest time. We were disappointed with how old the ship was, everything is outdated. The $32 fee a day for a couple is for room cleaning but the toilet area ALWAYS smells like urine.
The service in the Tides restaurant was excellent, though all ...
The Adventure of the Seas is a good choice for destinations, but limited sea days. Affordable for couples trip. We booked a Junior suite and it was wonderful with lots of space and cabin steward was great. He was attentive without being obtrusive. The Main dining room food and staff was very good with theme nights. Windjammers food was very good, without overcrowded atmosphere. Food was never ...
Embarkation was a breeze and we were able to make our mandatory muster station visit upon boarding.
We chose this sailing for the 9 night itinerary with 5 ports. St. Thomas was cancelled because of medical emergency with a diversion to Nassau, but that happens and we wish the patient well. We were Impressed with how quickly the port taxes and shore excursion refunds appeared in our online ...
