Embarkation was quick - registered online before hand. Paid the extra $10.00 to valet park so we were in the cabin in less than 1 hour.
Paid for a balcony room on deck 8 - got a port side room near the front of the ship. Felt a little rocking - last day was bad weather so stayed in room all day.
Windjammer and dinning room food was OK - would have liked a more variety. Paid $50.00 ...
This was our first holiday cruise, but I don't think it will be our last. Royal's friendly staff and good service made for a relaxing holiday. We were traveling just the two of us (myself and my husband), it's the first cruise we've taken by ourselves in 12 years. Our other cruises have been with family and/or friends. This was a bit of a second honeymoon as we are celebrating our 20th anniversary ...
At the end of October 2010 I with 3 of my family, cruised from Fremantle Western Australia to Sydney via New Zealand.
The experience of boarding at Fremantle was the worst I have ever experienced. Unprofessional and a LONG wait. It was hot, and the lines was long. Almost two hours in line to board. Unlike boarding in Sydney, Fremantle was not well organised.
However, when we finally got aboard ...
Myself (male, age 44) and DW (age 41); we have two young children who we left with the grandparents so we could enjoy a 10th anniversary cruise by ourselves. Our criteria for picking this sailing: (1) it had to include ports with Mayan ruins, and (2) it had to take place on our actual anniversary date. And this led us to a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise out of Tampa on the Radiance of the ...
Embarkation: The process in my opinion was rather smooth. From the time we arrived at the port handed over our luggage to the porter and made our way up to the receptionists took about 20 minutes. That is when they verify your payment information and give you your room key you will be using to make purchases on the cruise. (Just a reminder if you plan on using cash, the cruise line gives you a ...
5 of us traveling with 2 cabins on this 4 day cruise to Cozumel. Ages 35, 38, 2, 3, and 60.
Embarkation was fairly smooth in Tampa at Pier 3. We arrived about 12:15.
We used the Valet and filled out our luggage tags on the curb. I encourage you to sign in on-line and get your luggage tags in advance. We had to wait in line about 20 minutes and then we got checked in and were on the ship in ...
This is our 3rd cruise this year, and thankfully our last till 2011 (Princess, Disney, Royal Caribbean International). Is there such a thing as taking too much time off? This review is going to be a bit of a nitpicker I'm afraid. I've been on too many different lines this year not to notice the differences between them.
RCI, here's a biggie for us. Have you become a budget cruise line? This is ...

Review of Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas 10/09 Sailing out of Tampa.
I flew out the same day as the sailing. I know it can be risky, but I had a direct flight and did not have to worry about missing a connection. I was upgraded to First Class, so it was a nice start to the vacation. I did not use the RCCL Transfer, but used Super Shuttle. With the coupon I found online, it was only $9 ...
The Radiance of the Sea was indeed Radiant...
It's true,She is an "older" ship according to the modern marvel "super liners" being built, but she is a classy lady.
We have cruised with Carnival in the past and wanted to try another cruise line for this trip. The dear husband and I were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary and were traveling without our children. We were thrilled to get a ...
