Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

If you want to party, then this is the way to party in style. The good news is, if you don't want to party, the ship is large enough to get away from it and because the director seems intent on making it a party ship, the other activities were more readily available. Didn't care for being "forced" through the casino if you were rushing from dinner to a show or vice versa. Overall, the crew was great and we enjoyed our time on the ship.

Stateroom attendant was excellent at keeping the room clean, and yet not being "in the way". She seemed to know exactly when we left and had the room cleaned before we returned. We enjoyed the shows, esp the comedy shows very much. Bar staff was very good, and the drinks were certainly NOT weak...LOL.

Radiance of the Seas is a wonderful ship with its classy dcor. The ship's crew was pleasant and helpful. Can't wait to sail the ship again. The captian and his crew were very friendly.

Meals in the main dining room were average. Meals in the buffet line were a joke. RCL's people, mosst of them, did their job well. Some, just seemed to be going through the motions. As a stockholder I have to ask, what ever happened to RCL's "service and quality?"

I liked the ship it was good size for first time cruiser. I went on Navigator of the seas prior to this one and liked it much better. The activities and the food is the same .

Great room attendant, sheets did not fit bed and kept coming off, the first night something rattled all night, otherwise great experience with room. Balcony was over small boats which obstructed view. The food was great, we only went to dining room twice and sat alone since no one else showed up. Dining was a little late for a 6 yr old. We went to cafe the other nights but there were no trays and I am a single parent. If we left our drinks to get desert they were gone when we got back. We got soda card but you are not served as well and charged extra for a soda in your room frig. Pools were small and the main pool to deep, hot tubs were always full. I went to one show which was good. My son loved the kids club, he went 3 nights and I was able to enjoy casino, show, etc. We had an early flight and let guest services know, they got us off early with time to spare, easy deport and arrival. Ports were good and we enjoyed 2 trips purchased onboard. The boat rocked some in and out of Costa Maya, but not too bad. Would have loved some more family activites or movies, etc.

Very pretty and clean ship. Lots of nice art and accessible bars and food areas throughout the ship. Loved the hours of availability for the room service and the dining areas. Our balconey room was wonderful.

The ship was great, clean and it had an easy layout.

royal carribean does it right...

Good port. Rooms more than adequate. Would not choose spring break time again. Would look for a non-smoking ship

The Radiance of the Seas, although now 10 years old, is stil a very beautiful ship. The shows were wonderful and we had fun. We were very disappointed in the food quality in the main dinning room. Very cheap choices, low quality meats, limited varied, the worst we have seen on a cruise ship. This was the first cruise out of 15 we have been on the did not offer Lobster one night. I heard many other guests complain about the food. Drink prices were also too high. Also, it was really one of the best and fast getting on and off the ship we have encounter. First time cruising out of Tampa and we really liked it.

the ship was very nice. i have been on the royal caribbean ships in the past, they are always so clean, the staff is so kind, accommodating and wonderful. we have already booked another cruise for september with RC but to the Bahamas this time.

I went with my girlfriend. We are a young couple, mid 20s. The cruise was just all right. The events on the boat didnt really pertain to us. It was very hard to find a seat on the pool deck - walked around 15 minutes each day before finding a seat. The food in the buffet lines was a 2 out of 5, but the food at the sit down meals was excellent.

It was my first cruise and it was more than I expected. I would reccommend it to all my friends.

Very nice clean . Crew was very good

Great cruise!! The room was very comfortable and the balcony made it seem even larger. Dining was fun with great waiters (Senchen) who made dining an enjoyable experience. Would recommend Royal Caribbean to my friends

A great ship and mostly a great crew. The only con was the Guest Services crew, who were unprofessional and even rude. We visited them on three separate occasions - all the same crew (Joel & another lady, especially). The chef's did a wonderful job with the Indian dishes and gravies. I would not stay on the 7th floor above The Colony Club, again, as my husband and I are early to bed and the music comes up into the room quite loudly. We really liked the artwork on the ship, too.

Great cruise, Food was so so

For our first time on a Royal Carribean Cruise, I have to say it was much nicer than Carnival. It was well worth the price! Besides the ship being a little too crowded, it was an Awesome vacation! The 'Radiance of the Seas' was exceptionally clean, the crew was very professional and friendly, the food was yummy and the entertainment was awesome! Our waiter was very entertaining and personable. We will definitely go on another Royal Cruise again in the future!

This was our first cruise and we were awed. We were sailing on Radiance of the Sea. Ships personnel were excellent. The ship was very clean. Can't believe this ship is going in for refurb - it felt like new.
