Review summary

As our first cruise I don't think we could have made a better choice. Our balcony room was perfect -- plenty of closet space, great shower, and a very comfortable bed. Room service was quick and friendly. Boarding and leaving the ship was well-organized and went relatively quickly. Overall, we were stunned by the beauty and service on board. We've already begun making plans to return to Radiance of the Seas for another cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Spectacular centrum area, open from deck 4 to deck 12. The ship was spotless.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was perfect. They're all relatively small, but there's space for everything. We never felt claustrophobic or that we couldn't move around or relax. The balcony was wonderful.

Ports of call

Juneau, Alaska

3 out of 5
As Alaskans, we've been to Juneau before so didn't feel the need to do a great deal of sightseeing.
Don't Miss: Mendenhall Glacier.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
Hoonah was a great stop for a waling tour. Also, the history surrounding the cannery was very interesting. Lots to see and do.
Don't Miss: The cannery

Skagway, Alaska

3 out of 5
Don't Miss: Yukon & White Pass railroad tour

Ketchikan, Alaska

3 out of 5

Pros: Extremely clean, great service, friendly helpful crew

Cons: That it ended (and losing money in the casino)
