Overall okay. Would NOT recommend nail salon.
"It was a nice experience other than the time I wasted at the nail salon they have on board, it was like every other salon at home I had to wait almost an hour past my appointment time to be taken, AFTER they asked me if I was all set indicating that they didn’t even know I was supposed to be there, and for that price..Cruise was nice, it was definitely on the smaller side and definitely lots of children around...."Read More

Our goal was to get our whole family together and give our grandchildren (age 5-11) their first cruise. The ship, the friendly staff, the outstanding waiters all worked well. The kids were happy swimming; we did not use the kids programs at all. They enjoyed the two shows we saw and everyone had a good time. Cabins were very clean as was the ship in general. The significant downside to the cruise ...

Cruise was nice, it was definitely on the smaller side and definitely lots of children around. It was a nice experience other than the time I wasted at the nail salon they have on board, it was like every other salon at home I had to wait almost an hour past my appointment time to be taken, AFTER they asked me if I was all set indicating that they didn’t even know I was supposed to be there, and ...

Radiance of the Seas Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines March 14th to March 19th, 2011 This is a review of the Radiance of the Seas. From pre boarding to the debarkation. I will give the good points and bad points of the ship and its staff. The payment process of Royal Caribbean is very standard. Make your deposit. Make payments, until everything is paid for. I chose "My Time ...

Friday, January 21, 2011 Departed from Milwaukee on a non-stop AirTran flight. Great, on-time flight into Tampa. Taxi ride to Marriott Waterside was easy and quick. Driver, originally from Algeria, was delightful. He offered many suggestions for activities, restaurants, night life. Taxi fare is $25. One night stay at Marriott Waterside using rewards points. We had a water view ...

My husband and I have taken 18 cruises aboard Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and NCL ships, to the Caribbean, Alaska, the Baltic,as well as the Mediterranean from the Canary Islands to Egypt. So we are experienced cruisers. On 17 ships we ate most of our dinners in the main dining rooms and enjoyed them. On the Radiance, we ate there the first two nights, were appalled, and never ate there ...

Embarkation was quick - registered online before hand. Paid the extra $10.00 to valet park so we were in the cabin in less than 1 hour. Paid for a balcony room on deck 8 - got a port side room near the front of the ship. Felt a little rocking - last day was bad weather so stayed in room all day. Windjammer and dinning room food was OK - would have liked a more variety. Paid $50.00 ...

This is our 3rd cruise this year, and thankfully our last till 2011 (Princess, Disney, Royal Caribbean International). Is there such a thing as taking too much time off? This review is going to be a bit of a nitpicker I'm afraid. I've been on too many different lines this year not to notice the differences between them. RCI, here's a biggie for us. Have you become a budget cruise line? This is ...
