I just got back and wanted to write this all down while it was fresh in my mind.
We were on the Radiance the week of May 14th to 21st. This was my first time on Royal Caribbean and first time to Alaska. There were 4 seniors in my group of 7 people. We had 3 staterooms, one balcony and two inside on the 8th deck. 5 of us have cruised before and 2 were first time cruisers.
We wanted to do a round-trip out of Vancouver leaving on a weekend day, so that narrowed our choices. My Uncle wanted to go on the biggest and newest ship, so that made the decision easy and Radiance was our choice.
