While there were some details we wished were different (could not find root beer on board, sofa bed placement made it hard to walk the length of the stateroom) - the overall experience was fantastic. Alaska took center stage and was absolutely glorious - from the pre-cruise tour (Fairbanks, Denali, and Anchorage) to the Inside Passage sea day. We were blessed with fantastic weather which made ...
This was my first cruise. Before we sailed, I was nervous. Thankfully, those fears were totally unfounded. The Explorer was wonderful.
Ship
Clean. Clean. Clean. Everything on the ship was well-maintained. And it seemed that the staff was always cleaning or maintaining something.
Cabin
Our cabin was 9341. An inside stateroom. It was much bigger than I expected--helped my good lighting ...
We chose this cruise for my sister and brother in law's 25 anniversary. We had a great time. The staff was exceptional. We did a land tour prior to the cruise so we boarded around 5:00 and it went very smoothly. We were constantly on the go seeing new things. There were plenty of excursions to do. We did the helicopter in Juneau and landed on two glaciers. It was amazing to see. We also did a ...
The Radiance was absolutely the most beautiful ship I have been on. Understand that I have a preference for small to mid-size ships, and haven't been on RCCL's larger ships, but I found the common areas of the Radiance to be nicer than even the few luxury ships that I have been on. Of course, the cabins remain small and a bit cramped...but I don't take a cruise to spend much time in the cabin. ...
Our first Alaska cruise….Royal Caribbean_Radiance Of The Seas…southbound….Seward to Vancouver(July 21, 2017) with a 5 night pre-cruise land tour (5B_Mountain Panorama Adventure) (July 16, 2017):
( I apologize for spelling/formatting issues. It won't seem to "transfer" over without messing up formatting!)
We have cruised for a number of years but we are creatures of habit. We primarily ...
We traveled with other family members to Alaska primarily to see the glaciers and other scenery. We stopped in Juneau, Skagway and Victoria and viewed the Tracy Arms glacier from the ship. The maneuvering of the ship in the limited space of the fiord was amazing. We took the White Pass Scenic railway trip from Skagway and the scenery was picturesque. The old prospecting town was very ...
We wanted to do an Alaska cruise and booked this one. The ship was very nice. It was good to have a movie theater and I watched two movies. We thought that the overall food was very good, even the Windjammer. Probably better than other RC cruises. Funny thing was that I ordered a glass of wine but they did not have the first two wines that I requested! The Cruise Director was terrific and the ...
The Alaska trip on Royal Caribbean was one of our top trips every. My wife and I have travel all over the world and this is one of the most beautiful places on the earth. We can not wait to get back because you do not see everything in one trip. Our greatest thrill was taking our two 16 year old grandsons with us. We bonded and they had a great time.
The land tour is a must. A train ride ...
We chose this cruise on the recommendations of several people we have met since we started cruiseing just over six years ago. It was also somewhere we wanted to go. We enjoyed the Land tour and saw some wonderful sites and a lot of wildlife, some that are not seen frequently. But the train rides were to ch at times. Luckily we had a good group of people to break up the time spent ...
This was my third cruise, first time with Royal Caribbean so it was fun to compare and contrast the different ship lines that I have been on. I traveled with my family and we had rooms throughout the ship so we were able to get a wide view of how things worked as well.
We sailed out of Seward and I have to say, it was the fastest embarkation that I have ever been a part of. My family was able ...
