Radiance of the Seas

Cabin type: Oceanview

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 16 years ago

Review summary

I was skeptical about such a large ship. However, this ship was very well organized and the personnel were fantastic in their courtesy. The ships internal elevator layouts eliminated congestion normally encountered. And the Megaship syndrome was avoided. Radiance of the Seas has it right! This cruise changed our impression of prior cruises on other lines, and now has us looking into another Royal Caribbean Cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food was great. However their Beef offerings left something to be desired.(tough). The buffets through out the day were fantastic.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The evening shows were five star not to be missed. The ships other activities were all first class. The fitness center and Climbing wall were my favorites.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All personnel we encountered from the cabin steward to deck crew were friendly and helpful. Many volunteered information on shore amenities, and off the path fun things. This was just one more pleasure for our trip.
