Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great trip, just what a bucket list trip should be.

Enjoyable itinerary, but not without issues. Would do it again, but Royal Caribbean is not making me happy with the poor quality in the main dining room. Next time, I'll book Chops for lobster night and just pay extra for the lobster because buying the "filet" was a waste.

We did a three day on land tour which was well worth the extra time and money. The cruise portion was great. Enjoyed everything about it. All our excursions were wonderful. The crew was so nice. Food was excellent. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed this trip.

Despite the age and size of this ship it was one of my most favorite cruises. The Alaska itineraries and the fabulous ship created this wonderful experience. The smaller size of the ship was a plus: getting around to various venues was fast and easy, ship never felt crowded, more personalized interactions with crew members. Overall Radiance is a wonderful ship - I would definitely sail on again!

I enjoyed the cruise, it was our first one and I am really glad we were able to do it with some of our family.

This is our first cruise with my family. There are a lot of things we don’t know - new kid on the block. However, we are impressed with the quality of food and services provided. We will definitely consider to have another holiday with Royal Caribbean again. Thank you again.

I have no other comments to make on the cruise at this time.

Awesome time from anchorage on the train down to Seward then fishing twice. Fish for salmon in Ketchikan. Kodiak boat riding and all the little brewery’s were awesome.

In some reviews we read, people complained about everything from the condition of the boat to the food. First of all, you picked an older, smaller boat so stop complaining about its condition. Of course there is a little rust here and there and it's not all pristine like a new ship. Next time spring for the brand new boat if that's what you're looking for. Second, why would you ever complain about the food? You are not at a 5-star restaurant. You are on a cruise ship and they are feeding thousands of passengers. Taking that into consideration, I'd say that the food is pretty damned good. If you wanted 7 nights of luxury dining, take a culinary vacation next time, not a cruise. The breakfast and lunch buffets had an excellent selection of foods that were always fresh and it was meticulously maintained. We only had dinner in the main dining room so I can't comment on the buffet dinner, but we talked to other passengers who quite enjoyed it and said there were some selections that were the same as in the main dining room. Next to last night on cruise was Maine lobster tail night!!! Mmmmmmm. Rooms were clean, had tons of storage and cubbies. All staff was awesome!!!

Had a lovely time with my family on Radiance! The ship was clean and cozy. The crew was personable and entertaining. The Captain was a really funny and knowledgeable guy. My brother proposed to his girlfriend during formal night in the dining room. Great cruise, fantastic ship. Miss her already!!! Will definitely sail Radiance again!

This is a cruise I would take again in a heartbeat! Wonderful ship, wonderful itinerary (more ports and more time in each port than some other week-long cruises), and even the weather cooperated! It's a must-do trip, for sure!

Would recommend this cruise to anyone! Beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife.

We travelled with a bigger party (11 People!) and it was very accommodating to us. My brother even got engaged to his girlfriend during one of the formal dinners! Overall, it was a great experience on board and on land.

Great time had by all 12 of us traveling. Met lots of great people.

I would do this cruise again and recommend it to others. The views and ports were simply amazing. The ship is older and does need some TLC and more entertainment needs added. Overall it's still close to 5.

Nice cruise. Glad we did land tour first. I would recommend planning your own land tour as opposed to doing the RCL land tour. It seemed very rushed at times, lots of time on a bus. Would have enjoyed an extra day Denali National Park.

The sighting was fantastic but there were very few activities and limited hot tubs and amenities

This was my second cruise after, I cant remember how many years and I enjoyed it alot and look forward to cruising again in the near future.

A week full of fabulous memories! I was traveling with my husband and daughter, our friends from high school and their son and daughter, and my friends cousin and aunt whom I had never met. We had such an amazing week. The staff on the Radiance made our cruise so enjoyable! And let’s not forget about Jack - he sang to us almost every night in the Crown & Anchor - and lets hear it for Myra who kept our glasses filled! A lifetime of great memories!

Cruise was great, crew helpful & friendly, booked another cruise for 2020.
