Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Food so bad and entertainment so below avg that we will not book Royal Carribean again.

Radiance of the Seas is an Old Outdated Ship in need of a Bad Makeover. No 1st Class amenities. Dining room is small and Crowded. Most of Ship Has a Strong Odor Of Cigarette smell and Staleness throughout. Entertainment is Mediocre at Best. Geared to Much Older Adults and Not Entertaining.

Our Panama Canal cruise was a great follow up to our Mediterranean cruise last year. It was very different and presented us with new places to explore and new ways to vacation. As most of this cruise were sea days, the ship played a larger role in our vacation. What I discovered was an excellent ship with an excellent crew who genuinely loved the guests and worked hard for them. I thought it was perhaps the best crew I have experienced to date. Major kudos for all the hands that went into making this such a special experience. I highly recommend the Radiance for the ship and crew alone, but the Panama Canal is also a must see!

We loved the longer cruise. 7 days goes by too fast. Thus was way more enjoyable. The only issue was that 3 of the 5 port calls were shorter than normal. Coming in at 1 or having to re-board by 3, means that some excursions are not available, and others are not as good a value (a day pass at an all you can eat and drink resort is worth more for a 6 hour day, than a 3 hour stay). And the excursions are rushed to get all of the "normal" sights into a shorter time slot.

The Cruise director did a horrible job on the Veterans recognition event. Brief program worst of all of the Royal Cruises I been on. The comedian on the cruise did a better job of recognizing veterans. He ask for all to Stand in the audience. Mark, the cruise director, ask for veterans to raise there hand at the Veterans Recognition Event.

It was just a wonderful cruise. The size of the ship led to a close-knit comradery with the passengers we met. The staff was attentive and very friendly.

Our primary reason for taking this cruise was to visit Key West and the Bahamas since we had never been there before. The staff was wonderful and except for the first couple days we had great weather. We enjoyed the variety of music venues on board and the shows at night. The food was good.

We really enjoyed the cruise and the staff working on the ship!

Excellent service and menu options. Variety of entertainment options to enjoy.

We had a great time on Radiance. It is an older ship but it is clean and mostly well maintained. I would travel on it again.

We booked this cruise only a week prior to sailing. It was a needed getaway for my wife and I and we thoroughly enjoyed this relaxing time!

Overall this was a great cruise and learning experience.

The ship was cozy, with fantastic service and good food at the specialty restaurants. The itinerary offered a nice balance between going places we've never been and relaxing at sea. We enjoyed our group being there together and everyone found things they liked both altogether and separately. The ship offered enough to stay busy, though we prefer more shows and activities that can only be offered on a larger ship. Space was also a factor in not having more causal or fast food choices. The excursions made up for any shortcomings on the ship, however. It was our first time in South America and we went places in Central America we had not been before.

The itinerary was wonderful with beautiful destinations. The ship needed some maintenance and I had mixed opinion on the staff, some were excellent and others seemed inexperienced

The new terminal is great. Easy walking from the North Port Parking to the entrance. The ship’s staff was excellent. The ship seemed old and my cabin had a musty smell. I saw the doctor upon my return after my allergies flared up. The food in the main dining was somewhat disappointing. We’ve had better food in previous cruises.It seemed as if RC has cutback on choices and ingredients. My group of four agreed that the food was not as good as we’ve had before. The only port that was a disappointment was Bimini. There weren’t enough activities to select from. We thoroughly enjoyed Coco Cay. There was ample space for everyone, it was clean and the food was great! Disembarkation was somewhat disorganized. The exit through the terminal was fast and easy.

The last 2 days of very rough seas, we had bad cases of sea sickness. Decided that cruising is defiantly not for us, and never plan on booking another.

Loved our cruise, but it isn’t for everyone. It was great for my elderly mother, as the ship is easy to get around. But if you are looking for activities and entertainment, look for a bigger ship

We had been on 6 carnival cruise the experience on Royal was the next level or 2. The only thing the shows were better on carnival but you have a NYC Broadway style stage and has the ability to put on amazing shows other than that it was great

Entertainment, staff and food were all excellent. The Captain was incredibly involved with the ships activities. His rock show on the last night, along with his talented staff was a delight.

What a great way to visit Columbia and Panama - a once in a life time experience!
