My daughter and I shared our first Mother/Daughter cruise on this voyage. We had a ball! The service was great from start to finish on this Carnival cruise. We enjoyed out tour via a rented golf carton Catalina and atving on Ensenada. How fun!

Review summary

This was a trip for the memory books. My daughter and I did everything together and had a blast. Thanks for making it happen!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was extremely easy and well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food is as great in the dining room as well as the lido. There was great variety and the Shak chicken was a hit!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The weather was a bit cool for us to enjoy all of the outdoor activities and the teens seemed to hog the hot tub most of the time.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The cruise director was awesome and was definitely more involved in activities than any cruise director I have ever seen. However, I have seen much better nightly entertainment on Carnival cruises than I saw on the Radiance.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff was very accommodating and called us by name day one.

Ship Quality
