Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The southbound itinerary was best and visited the most important places in Alaska.

The staff and amenities exceeded my expectations in every imaginable way!!!!!

Old ship, not much for teens, low quality food, ok entertainment

Everything from start to finish was wonderful. The food was really good and they were really good about being able to accommodate my gluten allergy. The ship is beautiful and all the staff went above and beyond.

Pretty views and enjoyed my time. However, it wasn't without some issues with the business side of Royal Caribbean. Prices of everything doesn't make me want to rush back for another Alaskan Cruise.

Back to Back Alaska cruises is the way to go. We flew all day, so best to be up there awhile to get over the jetlag and to take advantage of the incredible wilderness. DeepWaterHappy blog will have articles about all our excursions soon.

Don't cruise with RC, not worth the money. Ship was not well laid out as "library" was located in centrum which was one of the noisiest and loud areas. Music in this area was excessively loud. Mini golf was in poor shape and sports court was tiny. Too much "family time" in solarium which was supposed to be 18+. Food was probably the worst I've ever had. If it was a local restaurant it would have been out of business.

The screw up from Anchorage to Seward was a HUGE problem. Leaving Vancouver our itinerary from you said Air Canada but it was United. This caused us another Huge problem.

Best vacation of my life. Stunning views. Beautiful Alaska just couldn't disappoint. And the crew on the Radiance and the perfect size of the ship made for a truly special experience.

One of our best cruises! Royal Caribbean is the best of the many lines we’ve been on. Highly recommend this line and itinerary.

Great experience. If you’re looking low key and relaxing, this is your cruise. Not a lot of bells and whistles as you have on bigger ships, but it has everything adults need.

The trip (views of mountains, whale sightings, seal, sea otters, bears) breath taking. The ship itself is very antiquated. No outlets, including phone chargers by bed. Only 2 outlets on dresser. The bunk (Pullman) beds need to be clearly advertised on website. Had to change rooms as there was no way either of roommates could climb up onto bed. The food was very mediocre and bland. Also charges for room service. Room service used to be a courtesy, we would just tip the deliverer. Food (scaled-down buffet) used to also be available late hours (like 1-2 a.m.) but no longer. I’m thinking everything is scaled down and costs added to make up for lost revenue during the COVID years.

Some process could be better e.g., attempt to put traveling families together, not make the customer go through hell to get seapass, some staff could be friendlier and more courteous to make the experience top notched but overall the trip was memorable once we got our blood pressure down from the unnecessary hassles.

Overall the cruise was good except for the weather was not great cool and rainy but,that's the chance you take sailing in May it could go either way sunny and warn or cool and rainy.

Loved Alaska and will return… we will use a different ship

We really enjoy the cruise, everything fits to us.

My cruise was a wonderful vacation. I enjoyed all the beauty that Alaska has to offer. I enjoyed meeting new people and I loved the great service and delicious food onboard. I only wish it had rained a little less!

Out of the six cruises we have taken on other cruiselines, it was our least favorite. The first week of May in Alaska is just too cold. The issues with the electrical outlets really affected our trip. We thought the crew staff were amazing.

The Alaskan cruise is a must do adventure. If I had to book it again, we would not have cruised with RC. I am very used to DCL. RC really needs to work on their customer service. Lots of confusion. We were the first cruise out of Seward and you could tell. I will definitely cruise Alaska again, but on a different cruise line.

A must do cruise! If you can, book the return Southbound to Vancouver. I spoke to others that were doing this and if I have another opportunity to do this, I would. This was an amazing experience and Alaska is so huge you only see a tip of it in 7 days.
