Decided to try Radiance after sailing with other lines. Beautiful ship although extremely crowded.
Great dining and service. Also recommend package for specialty restaurants but be wary that in the Japanese Izuma although you pre-paid, you will be slugged a $5 cover charge and your choice is limited to $15. After that, you pay through the nose. The Chef's Table was really great and worth the ...
Reflecting on this cruise, I must say that my family and I are never sailing on the Radience and are skeptical on even sailing with Royal Caribbean again. We are Platinum members of the Crown and Anchor Society, and found that there weren't many perks offered other than a few invitations to a gathering for all members. On other lines, such as Celebrity, being apart of the Captain's Club gives you ...
We had a great time, with nothing to complain about....well, ok, it rained more than I'd have liked, but that was about it. The ship was beautiful. We've cruised every class but Oasis, and for the smaller scaled ships, we found Radiance to be lovely. The Centrum area was very pretty with its waterfalls, pretty lights, and elevators. The 2 piece band every evening in the Centrum that played ...
hey guys! a few weeks ago me and my family (me 14, my sister 9, and my parents) just returned from an 18 night cruise on the radiance of the seas. since i am a teenager i found myself coming to the teen club quite often, and a lot of my time was spent there with the great new friends i made. Let me stress this, the teen club has to be one of the funnest places on the ship, i have made so many ...
we generally had a great time. We were 2 families in 3 cabins (one suite and 2 hump balcony cabins). Our friends had their 2 kids (1adult and 1teen) in the suite were at the extreme rear of the ship and experienced a rocky trip for the first week. We on the other hand had cabin 9594. It was right in the middle of the ship very close to the staircase and centrum. It was very roomy and had an ...
We were looking forward to a special repositioning cruise from Sydney and New Zealand to Hawaii. We got short changed.
Embarkation was handled pretty well, and we boarded early because of a morning rain. I was stopped by security due to my dangerous item - - a musical instrument! At 65 years old, holding a SEALED musical instrument, is hardly a dangerous item. A didgeridoo. The instrument was ...
Absolutely no complaints on this cruise/ship. Staff was wonderful. We always tipped extra as they deserved it.
Pre-cruise stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village was very nice. Paradise. Nicest part of the beach. Didn't seem crowded at all. Clean rooms. Got food and drinks at the nearby ABC store. We had a really nice view from our balcony in the Rainbow Tower.
The ship was beautiful. We had priority ...
We are struggling with the negative reviews posted about this ship and the staff. We wonder if they were on a different ship to us!
We had a totally different experience. The crew were great, from the captain down, restaurant staff were efficient and friendly, both in Cascades and Windjammer. Food in both was tasty and varied. We tried the speciality restaurants and yes the Italian and chops ...
Our first RCI cruise and it was overall pretty excellent.
* Radiance is a beautiful ship, with lovely accommodation and public areas
* Embarkation in Sydney was easy and well organised
* Food in the dining room was excellent.
* Giovanni's, Chops and Izumi were fantastic, Samba Grill not that good.
* Alcoholic cocktails are mostly made from pre-mixed juices - not very good. P&O's hand crafted ...
We live in Lakes Entrance in Victoria, so decided to drive up to Sydney with a stop over in Goulburn on the way. It worked out better than travelling to Melbourne and flying up to Sydney. We were travelling with our 3 cruise mates who have cruised with us before. Although a lottle squished for room, it was good fun just getting there!. As we have cruised with RCL 3 times before, we had an easy run ...
