Los Angeles Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews

We were "snow. birds" returning to Seattle from S. California and chose cruising as an alternative to driving from Palm Springs to Seattle. The costs were comparable to driving and sightseeing for six days. But the plane is less expensive. We had a perfect port call on Catalina Island and rented a golf cart there for touring. We had two port days in San Francisco and toured Alcatraz - a ...

When I try to think of things that could have been better, it's difficult. The staff was, to a person, wonderful. I was amazed that, with their absurd work schedules, & the pressure of dealing with so many new people every week or two, they could retain their genuine courtesy & friendliness.

Menu selection more varied and it was nice as for a couple of years ...

What a fabulous cruise! Our Cruise Critic group ... The Happy CocoNUTS ... was the best ever. We were aware of other Cruise Critic folks on the cruise, but they never joined the thread beforehand or came and participated in the Meet & Mingle. What's up with that? Too bad ... we would have loved to have you join us! We booked directly with the cruise line and had a very positive experience. We ...
