Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I can only reiterate the disappointment due to lack of sleep caused by the entertainment in the Schooner Bar. We called in every night and received very courteous receptionists but that could not get us our rest. One of our group even spoke with the pianist and he apologized and stopped playing a little before midnight that night. But the next night things continued. He was just doing his job. Should we return to the Radiance careful consideration will be made in room selection...or on any other ship for that matter. We love Alaska. All of our friends know that we go and look forward to sharing our stories upon return. Some of them have even been upon our recommendation.

Our first cruise was an incredible adventure! We deeply enjoyed the rest and relaxation. We are very grateful to have seen the beautiful mountains, gorgeous water, glaciers, marine life, animals, and eagles. It was all so absolutely beautiful! The time went by so very swiftly. We will deeply cherish the memory for a long time to come. It was perfect from beginning to end! We are thankful to have met Thomas, Ida, and Aman who assisted us. All three men made each day very special on our cruise. God bless each and everyone involved in making our trip so enjoyable!

Royal Caribbean is about the money, but if you do your homework and research the ports & excursions, you'll have a good time.

Fantastic itinerary. This Cruise was amazing. The ship is somewhat dated but I believe she is scheduled for a renovation next year.

The cruise part was fine. The land tour part of the cruise package was a disaster. Whoever was involved in booking the hotel rooms hasn't been to an Alaskan "resort" or doesn't care about comfort. Three people CANNOT sleep comfortably in two double beds. No AC, inadequate ventilation, lack of blackout curtains exacerbated the situation. Do not book an RC land tour if more than two people - even then verify the bed configuration.

We had a bit of a hiccup. I booked the cruise and didn’t realize in Seward we would disembark. Fredy Rivero was awesome and calmed me down throughout the process of finding airline tickets to get back home. He was extremely helpful and courteous explaining the procedures. Great customer service.

This may have been the hardest trip to plan and the hardest way to travel to get to from Florida but it was most definitely worth it. Would do it again. Royal Caribbean is the only way to cruise. They really care about giving great customer service.

Overall a very good experience. Alaska is a beautiful state. The 2 negatives were (1) the mediocre food quality in both the dining room and Chops Restaurant and (2) a terrible disembarkment and airport transfer experience.

Many of the employees were either trainees or it was their cruise. This was almost like a staff training cruise. The food was mediocre at best. Our staterooms smelled like sewer, otherwise the ship was clean. The staff was very accommodating. It rained in my daughter's head in her cabin. That was gross.

Cruising seems to be the only way to see Alaska. We had many happy circumstances where a modestly priced excursion gave us a thrilling adventure.

It was pleasant because of the destination but this ship would have been brutal in any other situation. It is very poorly maintained and tired looking. The staff of course is amazing, it is not their fault. But maintenance on this ship is very disruptive. They came a few times to paint while we were in there, really? Isn't this more of an off season project or a port day project?

Great experience. Understand you will be "smoking" if you go to the casino, there is really no way to separate smoking and non-smoking in one large area! Caution for those eating dinner at 8 PM - sun is setting and will be shining in someone's eyes! Know that on Royal Caribbean there are formal dining nights, but if you do not want to dress up you can always go to the Windjammer Cafe.

Had a great time! Everywhere is like a postcard view.

We had a really great time! Still had sea legs when we got home and still missing the rocking of the ship at night to lull us to sleep! I would do this again. Thank you.

The weather was excellent except in the Hubbard Glacier it was raining and cold. We are disappointed with the Theater entertainment at night. The food and staff were excellent.

Great itinerary. Wanted night excursion available when staying overnight in port.

We were constantly being sold something. It wasn’t very annoying and uncomfortable. The Key program was a complete rip off and joke. They did not give half of what it advertised and none of the staff knew what it was either which shows it was just another avenue to take your money.

Expertations were met. Not even getting an explanation (although false) about why our window was blocked with a rusty window cleaning platform, ladder, etc., for the entire cruise was totally unacceptable.

Dinner service at table 442 was great. Room attendant benny was a 10!

It's great ship with an exceptional captain and crew! New Zealand is a clean and beautiful place to visit!
