Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

A nice 5 day relocation cruise. Easy pace and great for simply getting away for a few days.

The cruise was an eleven day transitional cruise from Hawaii onto Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This was the longest cruise I have ever taken. I found it relaxing and enjoyable. At first, I didn’t think that I wanted to take a cruise that was that long. Once I got on that ship I forgot all my cares and troubles, just kept busy relaxing and having fun.

The itinerary was great but would have preferred to spend more time on the Islands and finish in hawaii and not spend 6 days cruising to Canada. Cruise had pros and cons the pros being the itinerary and island visits , the service at dining and other areas in the ship. The cons being the age of the ship which showed wear and tear, the only outdoor pool being small, the food in main dining and room service was very mediocre .

This is a great Interary, on sea days you can do as much or as little as you desire. I really enjoyed the Hawaiian and Music Lectures each day. The staff seem very happy and have a great desire to please. Overall this trip was a wonderful experience.

This was the third Alaska cruise we've taken. It was to be a prelude to our connection through to Hawai'i. The day before the cruise, RCCL notified us our Hawai'i leg was cancelled. Apparently, the Jones act prohibits foreign flagged vessels from departing from, and arriving to, a US port. It didn't matter it was 2 cruises with a stop in Vancouver... They wouldn't let us go. So... Alaska was all we had. I would do it again. The more we visit, the more we find we want to see the next time.

Great cruise. Small ship. Easy to disembark and embark on ports of call.

This was our third Alaskan Cruise and the first on Royal Caribbean. The trip was very reasonably priced and went very smoothly. If you are looking for a reasonably priced Alaskan Cruise, then this is the cruise for you. The whole trip was very relaxing.

Very relaxing. Not quite what we expected in some ways but also way better in other ways.

Very nice cruise. Best of the three that we have taken.

We purchased the KEY, which was pretty much nonexistent on this cruise with the exception of VOOM. No chops lunch, no breakfast on last day, basically no specials at all. Would not recommend KEY for this type of cruise or size of ship.

The Radiance of the Seas cruise to Alaska was a once in a lifetime cruise for me. I very much enjoyed the itinerary and the sights. For the most part the crew was very friendly and glad to be of service. There were a few bartenders that were pushing the drink package the first two days of the cruise - perhaps they are compensated by how many they sign up. All in all, I am grateful to have made the journey on the Radiance.

A great experience would highly recommend. Was upset in lack of shows/entertainment in the evenings. Great bar staff though so that was helpful. ;) Ship is beautiful, pools are VERY small, but we weather was not good to enjoy pool, but hot tubs were very useful.

My only real complaint about this cruise (and it applies to most of them these days and most cruise lines) is the push to make people duct tape a cell phone to their head. Bars try not to tell you they have a printed menu. They want you to use damn QR codes (and readers) to even see the drink menu and prices. I hate this nonsense. The ship doesnt even have maps and screens with ocean depth and weather etc anymore, again pushing you to do QR code nonsense. I am on vacation and the last thing I want to do is be constantly on a cell phone. What do people do who don't have one?

First time to Alaska, would definitely do it again, but maybe on a different ship.

Our first cruise. Seward embarkation was not great at all. Ship was great. Cabin was comfortable. People maintaining cabin were nice. Wind Jammer was awesome. Formal dining was awesome. Need to have better Indian/South Asian cuisine that was repeated almost every day and was OK but needs improvement. Safety was ok. Programs are good but can cater more for kids in the age group of 9-17 as we felt very limited. Not much stage shows other than one comedy evening that got repeated twice. Pretty boring. Movies are only two for 8 days and that is also not having choices if you want to go for a movie. Cuisine in Wind Jammer was the best and the people serving are amazing. Please keep them happy as they did a great job. Interesting to see one Ping pong table for the entire ship is really not fun. We sat for 1 hour to get a table play. Hair salon and the crew are nice. Disembarkation was nice and easy. Temperature in the ship was well maintained. Overall a great experience and lots of good improvements to make.

This was our 7th cruise to Alaska, it never gets old. I highly recommend everyone who can should take the time to visit this beautiful state.

Our best cruise so far, after 7! Our captain was simply the best, and many of the staff mentioned how good a boss he is! Loved the itinerary and all of the added activities!

Alaska is jaw dropping beautiful! There is no way pictures can do it justice! It is a place that one has to visit!!! We are grateful that we were able to do back to back cruise; both north and south bound! Thank you !

Great experience. I highly recommend Radiance of the Seas for an Alaska trip.
