Carnival Radiance Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was enjoyable. I do not think we will become cruisers but will definitely do it again.

Cruise was good, smaller ship. Good crew amd decent stops. Ship excursions were nothing great. More fun with adventures a the dock.

Overall I would not recommend. Couldn't get a water Gatorade and coffee all at once unless I wanted to wait 5 minutes (the line was much longer than that) food was meh, I felt like we were nickel and dimed the entire short time on the ship. Can't say I would ever even do another cruise due to this experience, it was very underwhelming.

I'll be a loyal carnival cruiser. It's always a balance of fun and relaxation

We took this as a birthday weekend excursion for my husband so we could have some couple time and relax in the spa. We were very impressed by how easy it was to get on and off the ship, and we enjoyed much of the food as well as the comedy shows. Cabin was a nice surprise as well. Overall it was a relaxing getaway. The main things we didn’t like were the ship’s layout, lack of attention to repairs, inconsistent service, and general cleanliness. It was definitely a worthwhile trip for a quick getaway, and we plan to do short cruises with the line again, but Carnival isn’t our preferred cruise line.

we had a few good experiences, got some good pics, our kids were amazed with the ship itself, but we were unable to download the hub app on board, so we were somewhat in the dark; would have been a lot better with heated pools, and uncrowded hot tubs; and having to pay for bottled water is unpleasant

Overall this was a lot of fun. It was an easy trip to coordinate with 12 people. We came to play board games on board with friends and the boat was perfect for this. We could have used a few more large tables that were available all day but we made it work and enjoyed the experience.

Great staff and customer service. Would recommend. Unfortunate timing for rowdy frat party reunion which consumed much of the ship.

This was our 20th Carnival Cruise and we passed 100 "Carnival " days at sea while on board. Wouldn't change a thing and are looking forward to the next one this April

Carnival Radiance 1 Horrible cruise director 2 NO entertainment, except two comedians that had toilet humor (PG) or gross sex humor (R or X) 3 Lounge and bar entertainment terrible 4 No lobster on elegance night 5 Diff in phone schedule and TV schedule every day 6 Quit making animal towels, no one cares except for very the few new cruise guests. Time, money, effort wasted. 20 years,ago it was novel, not now! 7 Pools to cold to use. Not one person in them or on slides 8 Guest services on hold for 20 minutes before hanging up 9 No "Future Cruise" desks 10 Guest Services couldn't say what the Theater Entertainment would be on any given night. It was only announced at 5:05 pm 11 We do not cruise to play chance games, like "Deal or No Deal." No entertainment, ever, except bars and night clubs. Nothing for families 12 Bar entertainment was horrible. The Sunset Diner wait staff entertainment was better by far than the ship entertainment. Dining wait staff and room cleaning staff are the only redeeming virtues on Carnival

Cruise was good. It was our 1st time. The water was choppy and so I got sea sick the entire time. But the food was great. There were a ton of options. The Spa was amazing and we had a great time. Wish the pools were heated. And wish the staff addressed our concern about loud noise in hallway.

Overall, good deal for a weekend get away during the holidays.

Disappointed with no bananas otherwise not bad cruise.

Family trip to celebrate our dads 75th bday. We had a great cruise and amazing food. Lots of things to do on the port. Very happy with the overall experience.

Very casual, lots of fun, everyone is real friendly, the food is full of flavor not blink like other

This is my 5th Carnival cruise, and by far it was the loudest. Guests in the halls yelling at all hours, staff pushing loud carts through the halls overnight...it was a lot. Sleeping was difficult with the craziness in the halls.

The only slow processing is the photos — the system can be better with ordering on line .

The food was very good. The ropes course was great. The waterslides were actually fast and fun. We brought our kids and grandkids. The only problem which would keep me from coming back to Carvel was trying to sit in the dining room with all 10 of us for dinner every night was a fiasco. Bad system needs improvement.

This was my first cruise and it exceeded all expectations. I was not sure what to expect but the service was probably the most surprising thing we noticed on the boat. Everyone was super friendly and wanting to provide first class service. The entertainment was really great too. The main bar area feature live performances almost the entire time on the boat. The comedians were especially great and the magician that did table side tricks was a treat as well. All in all a great experience and looking to cruising again.

Overall, an excellent experience. Please consider providing an accessibility bag, like the sensory bag. It could contain straws (paper straws are fine) for guests with fine motor challenges. Luckily, we brought our own. A large print deck plan emphasizing accessibility to all levels would be awesome also.
