Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews

We were on a 7day Western Caribbean cruise out of Tampa. I see a lot of complaints about this cruise ship on other reviews. Yes, it is an older ship but still beautiful. The atrium in the center of the ship is so nice. Lots of music there every night and games during the day and you can view it from almost any floor. We never had a problem with getting drinks anywhere on the ship--if we ...

My first time on a cruise. Booked in April, 2023. Two weeks before we are about to start our one-week land tour, RC had to cancel the 9-1 sail due to "propulsion issues". Then one week before we start our land tour, RC cancelled the 9-8 sail due to the same "propulsion issue". We fly out on 9-9 for the land tour, not knowing AT ALL if there is a 9-15 sail. I think we were notified on 9-13 or 9-14 ...

Chose this cruise to see more of Alaska since covid postponed it so long and it was on my bucket list.We had 3 generations on this cruise and we all fell in love with Alaska and all would move there if it could be for 4-6 months!!Royal caribbean is def price cutting more with each cruise and unfortunately cruising no longer feels like what it used to and that is so sad.The long times in port and ...

This was our first cruise in over four years, post covid, of course and yes, things have changed. Because we live a few hours drive from Vancouver, this was an obvious port choice for us because it meant we didn't have to fly anywhere. We heard lots of horror stories on board of people whose flights had been cancelled/delayed, luggage lost, etc. and we were happy to have escaped that. We ...

My son and I did a back-to-back to Seward Alaska and back on May 19th and May 26th respectively on Radiance of the Seas. So in the course of fourteen days, I got to know the ship fairly well. As always, there are things that were wonderful, and things that were .. less than wonderful. But in the end, another fabulous two cruises on Royal. First, let me expand on how amazing Alaska is. My son ...

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 ...

Not enough Gluten Free food. Way too much East Indian food, but it was good but not Every single day! One day of Mexican good and it was bad! A joke. The chocolate mouse jiggled, conscestency of jello and literally No taste. Not chocolate, tho dark, just bla. Carne asada or carne A Sad Duh! was 3 thin slices beef with a blob of spinach on top. Mexican night dinner in dining room had tacos, a ...

6 day cruise just right for price, smaller ship….. Great cruise, friendly personnel, good food, great service. However, guest services manager responded very poorly. Any cabin near the lobby/Centrum entry, any deck, is the worst cabin(s) location aboard this ship. Every night until 11pm, Centrum is entertaining with various music venues and the decibel sound has to be exceptionally beyond/off ...

See below for comments on the music. We chose this cruise to visit Panama and Columbia as well as the typical Costa Maya, Belize, and Cozumel. The welcome aboard in the "Centrum" was Horrible, long lines accompanied with very loud Disco type music and irrelevant announcements being made over the loudspeaker. We waited in the overcrowded "windjammer" buffet for our rooms to be released. ...

The Good: Radiance of the Seas is a beautiful ship and this was the Captain’s second sailing on this ship. He was very visible and friendly. All of the crew members were happy to see us and very professional. The food was good in the MDR and Windjammer. The shows were wonderful, including The Piano Man, City of Dreams, Tango and a tribute to Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons. Some of the ...
