Review summary

It was a lovely cruise, relaxing, just what we needed

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had the key, and walked past the queues and got straight onto the ship. It was so fast and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loved how the wait staff knew your names almost instantly. The food was great in the main dining room, the windjammer was fast and easy with a wide variety, and Samba Grill (the only speciality restaurant we went to) was not just brilliant food but an awesome experience.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I liked the solarium pool, as it was a bit quieter, but I felt there was a good choice of activities for those who wanted to remain active.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Fabulous, amazing, brilliant. A1 entertainment at every turn.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were 5 star. Friendly, helpful, always courteous. Couldn't knock them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved Royal Caribbean Radiance of the seas. It was a clean, beautiful ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The Cabin was gorgeous. I was glad we picked it. Having space and access to air was fantastic, especially when my husband fell ill at the end of our trip.

Ports of call

Sydney, Australia

5 out of 5
Home port, always lovely

Noumea, New Caledonia

3 out of 5
We did an excursion to Amadee Island which was fantastic, but Noumea itself, I could take or leave

Lifou Isle, New Caledonia

3 out of 5
We went for a walk up to the church, but without doing an excursion, not a lot to see or do.

Isle Of Pines (Ile Des Pins), New Caledonia

5 out of 5
This was like stepping into a postcard. We simply snorkled off the beach, but heard the tours were amazing too

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Really quick and easy. Again with the key, straight off at time of our choosing.

What was β€œthe key” that helped you to avoid the queues? How do I do the same to avoid the queues when we embark?
