I must say that our cruise on Radiance of the seas was the best cruise I have ever taken. Nothing compares to the splendor of Alaska!
Pre-trip- I booked the cruise directly with RCCL and my ttravel planner was beyond wonderful to work with. Originally we booked for 7 people but as time got closer several medical conditions dropped that number down to two, just my 62 year old mom and myself, 32. ...
We really enjoyed our total experience on Radiance. The ship was spectacular, and service superb. We enjoyed our meals in Cascades with anytime dining, only waited once, maybe 5 minutes.
Our balcony room was forward, with outstanding views.
Paul the cruise director was fun and funny. The shows were up and down, but I did not cruise Alaska for the shows, but the nature shows.
Again the ...
We just returned form a 7-day cruise from Seward to Vancouver. We started a week before and stayed a in Anchorage visiting family. Anchorage was a nice city but this almost 24 hr day light is for the birds. I can only imagine darkness in the winter. But over all saw everything Anchorage had to offer.
We drove down to Seward the day of the cruise it's a 3-hour drive from Anchorage plus the ...
R/C cruise tour was a dream come true. My wife and I have talked about going to Alaska since we were dating 29 years ago. R/C did not disappoint from picking us at the airport to debarkation. We did the land tour first and would highly recommend it be done first,it is a lot of traveling getting up early to see all of the sites, then you have 7 days to rest on the ship. The Hotels/Lodges they stay ...
August 11, 2011 (Day 0) -- Toronto to Anchorage(Air)
Our flight from Toronto delayed for over an hour and it was a tight connection from Vancouver to Anchorage, transit time was only 2 hours. I really didn't know what to do if we missed the direct flight from Vancouver as my daughter's family were on Cruisetour #11, waiting for us at Marriott Anchorage. Luckily, we just made it on the plane ...
First of all, I'd like to thank Cindy (Crown and Anchor Loyal Ambassador on board the Oasis of the Seas in August 2010) who recommended the following to us: 1) Alaska one-way cruise (reason: round-trip cruises do not go to Hubbard Glacier which sgould be the highlight (most spectacular) of an Alaskan cruise); 2) South bound (reason: to avoid docking at the ports with more than 2 other ships); 3) ...
We arrived at Anchorage at about 6pm (from N. Carolina) so it was a long travel day. The Royal Caribbean Cruise Tour folks were there at the baggage claim and all we did was point to our bags and they took it from there. Being exhausted, that service was more than welcomed. :o) (Throughout the cruise tour, we did not have to drag our luggage around at any time. RCI picked them up at the room and ...
We began our journey with a long, but direct flight from DFW to Anchorage on Friday, June 24, 2011. To make matters worse, Linda is feeling really bad and we almost went to the hospital instead of the airport. She fought through the pain and we arrive in Anchorage and to the Marriot around 9 p.m. Alaska time (midnight at home). We have a great hotel room on the 14th floor that will be our home for ...
Pre-cruise - Saturday, 6/11 Fairbanks
Just for some background, this was my eighth cruise and my wife's sixth cruise. I have previously cruised on Carnival and Royal Caribbean and have found them to be comparable in quality. I've also cruised twice on Norwegian Cruise Lines which I found to be slightly lower in quality than Carnival or Royal Caribbean but still ...
