Radiance of the Seas

14 Night South America (Buenos Aires To Valparaiso)

Sail date: April 12, 2009

Ship: Radiance of the Seas

Cabin type: Oceanview

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 15 years ago

Review summary

We were 1st time cruisers and have to say the ship and the staff on the radiance of the sea was above our expectations. We were the last group to go around cape horn as carribean cruise lines has dropped this from its list. The day we rounded the cape it was clear and sunny (cool ) and the ocean was as calm as you could get it. Overall it was well worth going.
