Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

ship was hard to navigate interior. there were no straight throughways from stem to stern. service of personnel was good. the quality of food, even in the restaurants that required extra $$$, was quite poor. there was no midnite buffet and the restaurant outlets were limited. the art auction was fabulous only because of the personnel (tony and ati) who made my very lst experience w/auctions a lasting interest. (i bid and bought over $3K worth of artwork)

The ship was beautiful and, according to many of the passengers that I spoke to, it is one of the best ships in the fleet.

The Ship was wonderful. The weather was perfect. The Carribean was beautiful. Staff was nice, courteous, and well trained. I will consider cruising again for my next vacation.

For a ship that has been in service five years, the age doesn't show. Maintenance has been well done, and consistent. The entire crew, from the captain down, seems genuinely interested in making sure passengers enjoy every aspect of the voyage.

Beautiful ship......dark woods, Italian marble accents, lots of glass & soft colors; very tasteful & elegant decor.

the ship was very good except for cascades dining room. It needed better lighting and music was only heard a couple of nights.

The ship is beautiful with lots of glass and great views from everywhere. The ports were beautiful and easy to get around in. The ships crew were very helpful and attentive and you could tell they love their jobs and the ship. The Captain (Rune Lokling) was so visable throughout the whole trip and he would take time to stop and chat and kid around with you. His mid day reports were hysterical and he left the whole ship saying "Hertie Gertie" and Kiss kiss kiss. I can't wait to go back.

It was elegant, it was spotless, Windjammer had an incredible menu everyday, so much so that we did not eat one meal in the dining room. We loved the flexibility of eating when we chose, without having a specific time. The staff was absolutely incredible. The service impeccable. Chops restaurant was wonderful, we had dinner there on our anniversary. Again, the Captain was the best ever. Except for the lack of a seperate shower in our bathroom, this was by far the best cruise we have ever taken.

From the moment we arrived at the Port we knew this one would be different - but in a good way! The Set Sail Pass (for boarding which you get by doing a lot of stuff online before you arrive) made a huge difference! From drop off to getting on the boat - 15 minutes! Our stateroom was an inside cabin, but very spacious with a great layout. The Windjammer Cafe has great lunch items and a couple good dinner items. Room Service was quick and had good food.

the cleanliness and the vast size of the ship it kept going on forever i still don't think we saw all of it we definettly have to go again the crew and the entertainment were spectacular

Absolutely beautiful and clean.

comfort and beauty of ship

This was our second cruise on this ship which we really like very much. We look forward to being on the Brillance, a sister ship, in the Mediterranean next year.

This was our first cruise and we would definitly cruise Royal Caribbean again!

The Radiance of the Seas is an impressive ship. It has a spectacular atrium, with glass elevators overlooking the lobby below. The outside glass elevators give an amazing view of the ocean. All of the facilities are clean and in excellent shape -- I believe this is a fairly new ship, and it really shows. The staff was attentive and excellent (as expected), the cabin had enough room for a family of four, including storage space for our many clothes and bags. We especially loved having a balcony -- a must for viewing the spectacular Alaska scenery and wildlife. The ship's many amenities made for plenty of recreation choices.This was really an impressive ship.

The Radiance of the Seas Ship was wonderful! It was a nice ship and very elegant and lots to do.

Very clean, well laid out; love the individual food stations in the Windjammer Cafe vs. the usual LONG line on other ships (Jewel of the Seas has the same set up); indoor pool; self-leveling pool tables are AWESOME!

The Radiance of the Seas is a favorite of mine. It is beautifully appointed and has many amenities. My granddaughters enjoyed Adventure Ocean and refused to eat dinner with the adults because they didn't want to miss any activities. This also made nice for the rest of the family. We were able to talk and visit at the late seating without making the young one sit and behave. There were plenty of activities for all the family, from the 4 year old to grandma and grandpa. The younger adults have plenty of places to relax and enjoy themselves while grandma and grandpa did the child care at night. The whole trip was wonderful. One event that was outstanding was the cake frosting contest between the captain and the hotel manager in the centrum. It was hilarious and nice to see the captain interacting with the passengers.

Overall, this was a very relaxing and enjoyable cruise from San Diego to Vancouver. The entertainment was great, in particular, Santtino & the Blakjaxs. The staff was very accomodating and we were very satisfied with the level of service. The debarkation for passengers flying from Vancouver was handled extremely well with Ship represenatives shepherding passengers from pierside, to buses and all the way to bag pickup at Vancouver airport and then directing passengers to the appropriate airline counter. A few very minor discrepancies: the bus driver taking us to the airport was unfamilar with the route and had to get phone directions, initially, there were no standup hand sanitizers acivated at the food venues (once we asked about why they weren't being used, they magically appeared the next time we entered the dining area), the tour to Seaside/Astoria started late and we felt hurried with not enough time to explore the stops before returning to the pier and after we signed up for tours online and receiving our confirmation, upon arrival, we found that only one of us had tour tickets and the Tour Desk had to confirm my confirmation with the Miami office. After cruising on several other lines, Royal Caribbean is at the top of our list for customer satisfaction.

The ship was fantastic and I would recommend Royal Caribbean to anyone wanting to cruise to anywhere. The employees were well trained and well mannered. I couldn't have been better facilities if you could have tried.
