Radiance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This Alaska itinerary includes beautiful natural scenery, lots of relaxation opportunities and a wonderful cruise experience.

A great cruise by which to see Alaska. Scenery was great all along the way. Excursions offered many opportunities to see Alaska up close.

This was the most beautiful cruise I've ever been on, but also the least fun! Royal Caribbean was definitely catering to the older crowd, and it showed. The cruise director has seen his better years, and his activities were meh at best. The food and service, however, were par excellence! Our waiters and statesroom attendants were some of the best ever! If they could iron out the entertainment wrinkles, this would have been the cruise of a lifetime.

Great cruise and amazing scenery. The ship is small enough to get close to the glaciers, but large enough to not feel over crowded

This was our first cruise. It could not have been better. Very impressed with Royal Caribbean and the quality of food and service.

Nice relaxing cruise with cool relaxing scenery. Chops grill is excellent and love their key lime desert. Used my time dining and worked great. Just walked up and with in a couple of minutes we were seated.

Our travel agent went above and beyond to provide the best Alaskan experience for us. I feel she found us the best prices for our budget and helped us with excursions we wanted to do as well. They were honest and upfront about everything and it was truly the best vacation we’ve ever been on.

It was the Alaskan Adventure we had hoped for. We were active, and not just lounging around. We enjoyed the activities at each port. We booked through Shore Excursion Group. We had great activities and wonderful, knowledgable, local guides. We had rain every day, with 93% humidity, 43-49 F degrees. That made it hard to enjoy the pool and outdoor ship activities.

Amazing! Staff was wonderful. Has a wonderful time. Went with family so we had 4 suites. Loved the experience.

Had a great time. Met some fun people. Excursion options were great (although one of our excursions I was really looking forward to got canceled). The Alaskan views were awesome.

Fantastic cruise aboard Radiance of the Seas. So glad we did this and would recommend to anyone.

Cruising Alaska is a beautiful trip, and this is a great itinerary. However, pick a newer ship with more amenities.

Food so bad and entertainment so below avg that we will not book Royal Carribean again.

Radiance of the Seas is an Old Outdated Ship in need of a Bad Makeover. No 1st Class amenities. Dining room is small and Crowded. Most of Ship Has a Strong Odor Of Cigarette smell and Staleness throughout. Entertainment is Mediocre at Best. Geared to Much Older Adults and Not Entertaining.

Our Panama Canal cruise was a great follow up to our Mediterranean cruise last year. It was very different and presented us with new places to explore and new ways to vacation. As most of this cruise were sea days, the ship played a larger role in our vacation. What I discovered was an excellent ship with an excellent crew who genuinely loved the guests and worked hard for them. I thought it was perhaps the best crew I have experienced to date. Major kudos for all the hands that went into making this such a special experience. I highly recommend the Radiance for the ship and crew alone, but the Panama Canal is also a must see!

We loved the longer cruise. 7 days goes by too fast. Thus was way more enjoyable. The only issue was that 3 of the 5 port calls were shorter than normal. Coming in at 1 or having to re-board by 3, means that some excursions are not available, and others are not as good a value (a day pass at an all you can eat and drink resort is worth more for a 6 hour day, than a 3 hour stay). And the excursions are rushed to get all of the "normal" sights into a shorter time slot.

The Cruise director did a horrible job on the Veterans recognition event. Brief program worst of all of the Royal Cruises I been on. The comedian on the cruise did a better job of recognizing veterans. He ask for all to Stand in the audience. Mark, the cruise director, ask for veterans to raise there hand at the Veterans Recognition Event.

It was just a wonderful cruise. The size of the ship led to a close-knit comradery with the passengers we met. The staff was attentive and very friendly.

Our primary reason for taking this cruise was to visit Key West and the Bahamas since we had never been there before. The staff was wonderful and except for the first couple days we had great weather. We enjoyed the variety of music venues on board and the shows at night. The food was good.

We really enjoyed the cruise and the staff working on the ship!
