Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Ate in main dining room once, it was good. Mostly ate in Windjammer which seemed to me was better than it has been in the past

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Watched one show, it was pretty good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All personnel we came in contact with was friendly, helped us when we needed it, they all seem to love their job

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the smaller ship. You always saw an employee cleaning something, especially all the railings around the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was ok, got to expect a little small on a ship, but plenty of space for clothes, storage of luggage, plenty of room in bathroom. Cabin girl we had did a great job keeping our room clean.

Ship tip

Take the time to familiarize yourself will all the floors, take time to walk outside everywhere you can, take in all that you can see.

Ports of call

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

5 out of 5
Did not do the glacier excursion, was not sunny our day at the glacier, but did see it quite well.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Did the whale watch and mendenhall glacier excursion. Saw over 10 whales, great trip.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Did the helicopter and landed on the glacier. Most amazing thing we did in Alaska and would definitely do again and again.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

5 out of 5
We did a stream fishing trip on our own. Port is always nice, just a nice place to walk around, be sure to watch for whales here they are known to be seen.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
We did not do any excursions in Ketchikan. Nice port to walk around, has nice true alaskan shops, we purchased items here to remember our trip

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

5 out of 5
Be sure to sit by window and just enjoy to scenery

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did the self assist as we had early flight and wanted to get to airport quickly that morning. Was very easy to carry own luggage, got a taxi quickly and we were on our way.

Glad you enjoyed it. I was on my third cruise to Alaska in May and it never gets old. Radiance is the perfect size ship for Alaska.
