Radiance of the Seas Review

Additional details
Our biggest mistake on this cruise was to choose a northbound. After a week of seeing and doing all we could do, the flight home from Anchorage was brutle. If I could plan it all again, I would fly into Anchorage a day early. Take a transfer tour down to Portage, Girdwood, Alyeska, ending in Seward. Then spend the night in Seward and get on the ship the following day. Maybe even fit in a Kanai tour if I could.
We did the reverse and we were exhausted.
Embarkation: We actually flew into Seattle and spent a day and night there. Then took the Clipper Ferry up to Victoria for a day and a night. Had a lovely visit in Victoria. Stayed over night at the Magnolia. Enjoyed a water taxi over to Barb's Fish & Chips. Had a carriage ride. Loved Victoria. Harbour Air was fantastic! Harbour Air took our excess baggage for free on an earlier flight that morning. Then we flew over and claimed it. Also Harbour Air gave us a free shuttle ride to the ship. At the ship terminal, we turned in our large suitcases and got in the security line with our carryons. Then there was a registration line, and customs line, and finally a line to get our picture taken for our ID cards. Then "ding" and we were on the ship.
Cabin Review
Junior Suite
1100 - great cabin! Had large walkin closet, bathtub, and extra large balcony. The balcony had 3 large lounge chairs, 2 regular chairs and a table. No noise from the Windjammer above. Also there was just one day when we noticed a tiny bit of suit from the engines. Great room! Loved the aft location. It really did feel like it held off the wind. Loved seeing both sides of the scenery at once even if it was from the back.
