Our Cruise Expericence on the Radiance of the Seas

Boarding the ship at the Honolulu Hawaii Terminal. We arrived at the terminal to drop off our bags before we returned our rental car and were told that that service was not available. We had to drag our bags back to the rental car agency to return our car. Then we had to drag them back through lines to turn them over to the ship. Then we were required to stand in another line for 3 more hours in a hot terminal to get into the ship. This was very had on us since we are seniors and my husband is a diabetic. We thought we were going to pass out since there was no place to sit and rest. In over 20 years of cruising we have never had this type of problems. This was very unsatisfactory. Dining Room Experience: The first night prior to arriving at the dining room the hostess made our reservations for 5:30 pm every night of the cruise. On the 2nd and 3rd night when approaching the dining room we were stopped and told we did not have reservations but were seated at the same table as the first night. During dinner the 3rd night we explained the troubles we were having to the Matidee and by the 4th day we had reservation without problem. We purchased all of our excursions through the cruise line. We discovered that we paid as much as $50.00 per ticket then if we would have booked just outside the ship at the end of the pier. The first excursion we were to meet at 9:00am in the Aurora theater to meet the tender to go ashore for the excursion. We arrive at 8:40am only to discover the ship guide was leading the excursion group out of the theater without checking to see if all tour passengers were present. The tour didn't start until 10:15am what was the rush??? We almost missed the tour. The first tour was organized onboard the ship, but all others the passengers had to meet the tour on the pier. Our tour in Maui were we were tendered to land, our excursion was not organized onboard. We had to self tender from the ship not as a tour group but along with all other passengers going ashore which made it very had to get ashore on time. Very unpleasant. This was the most disorganized vacation we have ever had.
