If you have read Zawickiedawg's review, you have the facts about the weather and the usual incidents of this cruise. I will not repeat them.
This is our fifth cruise on Royal Caribbean and our first on Radiance of the Seas. Like her sister, Jewel of the Seas which we experienced last year\ar, Radiance is a beautiful ship. Radiance has the friendliest crew that we have experienced - from the Captain to the cabin stewards. How many Captains participate in a cake building contest complete with a food fight with his opponent that spilled into the audience in the Centrum - the Captain of the Radiance of the Seas did. Keiren Buffery was the best Cruise Director we have experienced. He had great interaction with the guests including a sing-a-long in the Scooner Bar.
Let's get back to the beginning, embarkation. We arrived by plane and took a cab (15 minutes) to the terminal. The terminal was not the primary RC terminal that we had used for past cruises. This was clearly a secondary terminal and it showed. The terminal was run down and it took 30 minutes to get through check-in and onto the ship via deck five rather than though the usual deck four entry into the Centrum.
