My husband and I (in our 30's) were lucky enough to be on the Radiance for the March 9, 2008 Eastern Caribbean sailing. We had a wonderful time, and are disappointed to be back in the "real world" where we have to pour our own wine and make our own bed.
Day 1: Embarkation
Embarkation was a breeze. We walked right into a large holding room where we were given a group ticket number 3. As ...
This was our second time on the lovely Radiance of the Seas! Its not to big, not too small. Like everyone says, its a beautiful ship. We had a wonderful time. All the staff and crew are very friendly.
We booked a GS. Loved it. Great for our family. Only issue was that our kids prefer not to share the pull-out couch. The cabin steward brought us a roll-out cot(very uncomfortable) and folded it up ...
This was my second cruise (first was on Carnival) and my husband's first. We traveled with another couple, all of us being in our 30's. We didn't take any of our kids. After a long red eye flight into Fort Lauderdale, all we wanted to do was get on the ship and relax! First of all, we were greeted at the airport by very friendly staff and it was a very organized trip from the airport to the port. ...
My friend and I, both in our early 20's, took our first cruise on December 16, 2007 on the Radiance of the Seas to the Western Caribbean.
We flew in to Fort Lauderdale from Canada the night before, and while it cost us quite a bit more, it was a good choice as there was a big snow storm at home on the day of the cruise with many flight cancellations. We had a short stay due to our delayed ...
This was my second cruise on Royal Caribbean and my 22nd cruise overall. I have been on Holland America, Princess, Disney, Costa, Norwegian and Celebrity also. My favorite ships are Celebrity Millenium and Constellation. Having only sailed on Sovereign of the Seas before (in 1997). I didn't care for that cruise. The cabins were really tiny, our waiter was friendly but too pushy with asking us to ...
This was our 11th cruise and first on Royal Caribbean. Our other 10 cruises have all been on Princess. As in all cruises there were things that were great and other things that were disappointing. First let me say that the Radiance of the Seas is a beautiful ship and even far exceeded my expectations. We liked all the public rooms on the ship and even felt many were more attractive then Princess ...
Eastern and Western Caribbean, February 17 until March 3, 2007 Radiance of the Seas - Royal Caribbean Cruise Line
Almost everything there is to tell about the Radiance can be found in my last year's Hawaii review. That is why I wanted to put the focus more on the personal aspects this time. For some of you it might not be interesting, but for me these aspects are an important part of our cruise ...
My boyfriend and I cruised for our first time ever on the Radiance of the Seas, had a wonderful time and loved the ship. Details below.
Embarkation: We stayed in Miami Beach for two days before the cruise, so on Sunday morning we took a shuttle (FloridaLimo) to Port Everglades, USD19 per person. The shuttle picked us up at 10:45, we had one more stop in a Miami downtown hotel, and from there ...
We recently cruised aboard the Radiance of the Seas on December 17-23 2006 to the Western Caribbean.
The Embarkation- We had an red eye flight from LAX. I will not do that again. Go a day before and stay the night so you are well rested. We took a taxi from FLL for about $15. We arrived pretty early and checked in around 11:30. Very easy process,no long lines and we were on the ship by 12:15. ...
Embarkation: We arrived at the port sometime around noon. We were one of the first people to arrive. Since it was our first cruise we wandered into the building and just followed signs to boarding. We showed our boarding tickets to a staff member and he mistook our cabin class for a suite, so we were ushered through the first class entrance. They checked our passports and issued us our Sea Pass ...
