Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Radiance of the Seas

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
I enjoy sailing from all 4 of the major ports in Florida and Tampa is no exception. However I would not recommend parking at 717L57 Channel side Dr Lot Port of Tampa Cruise Parking. There is no one there, you park yourself, it's close to the Cruise terminals, you can walk to them and the price is very low however when we returned to our car we had parking tickets on the windshield and a warning ...

We chose this short cruise because we really enjoy this size of ship. We sailed on Radiance when she was brand new, and again some years ago. Despite the ships age, it is very well maintained and kept up so well. We were impressed at how good it looked both inside and out. The attention to cleaning was evident everywhere. The staff was so friendly and helpful at every turn. We chose an outside ...

Enjoyed this weekend getaway from Tampa. Our room was very nice BUT was noisy being below the windjammer buffet. The entire crew from the captain to the room attendant were superior. Friendly, and kind. The food was of very good quality in the windjammer they had, Caribbean night, Mexican night, and Italian night themes and the experience fun. Only went to one show and it was good but not great. ...

We were on a 7day Western Caribbean cruise out of Tampa.
I see a lot of complaints about this cruise ship on other reviews. Yes, it is an older ship but still beautiful.
The atrium in the center of the ship is so nice. Lots of music there every night and games during the day and you can view it from almost any floor.
We never had a problem with getting drinks anywhere on the ship--if we ...

Radiance is big but not overwhelming, inside or out.Took CC advise on rear suite stateroom. ...

We decided to book this cruise for our honeymoon mainly because it left on a Monday. It was his first cruise but my second.We flew into Tampa on Sunday evening. We took a taxi to our hotel (Hilton Garden Inn Ybor). The hotel was very nice and clean. They had a free shuttle to the port. It took about 5-10 minutes to get from the hotel to the port.Embarkation was very quick and smooth. We ...

Bottom line up front (BLUF) - The Radiance is a beautiful, well-run ship which features a wide variety of functional interior and exterior venues, ample deck space and beautiful views. The opulent, yet elegant design featured a rich decor accented with fabulous works of art. The crew was always friendly, welcoming and determined to provide an excellent experience for the guests. My most ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night western Caribbean cruise on the Tampa-based Radiance of the Seas from 5 - 10 March. This was our first cruise so we have no basis for comparison, but it won't be our last. Ports of call were Cozumel and Costa Maya. The passenger mix consisted of families and couples, young and old, although not very many young children, and college kids on spring break. ...

Traveling with three kids (15, 14 and 11), wife (age unprintable) and mother in law (age unknown)for spring break, 2011!Left out of Tampa - used valet parking, well worth the extra $15 because it gets you out fast when you return to port! More later.Sea day was somewhat exciting - the morning of, we heard a BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO which turned out to be a fire in a crew members cabin. The captain was ...
