Nice Trip Up The Coast to Vancouver
"She is aging well and remains a typical, classic cruise ship reminiscent of days gone by in comparison with the newer mega ships with dozens (or so it seems) of water slides which threatens to turn a cruise ship into a floating water-themed amusement park with a few other venues thrown in for good measure.We booked a Guaranteed Balcony and unfortunately, our cabin turn out to be a mixed bag of being in a good location on the ship (great) but with a connecting door (not so great)...."Read More

I was last aboard Radiance in 2017 for a seven night cruise from Seward to Vancouver. She is aging well and remains a typical, classic cruise ship reminiscent of days gone by in comparison with the newer mega ships with dozens (or so it seems) of water slides which threatens to turn a cruise ship into a floating water-themed amusement park with a few other venues thrown in for good measure.

We were "snow. birds" returning to Seattle from S. California and chose cruising as an alternative to driving from Palm Springs to Seattle. The costs were comparable to driving and sightseeing for six days. But the plane is less expensive. We had a perfect port call on Catalina Island and rented a golf cart there for touring. We had two port days in San Francisco and toured Alcatraz - a ...

When I try to think of things that could have been better, it's difficult. The staff was, to a person, wonderful. I was amazed that, with their absurd work schedules, & the pressure of dealing with so many new people every week or two, they could retain their genuine courtesy & friendliness. The cabin (I think it was category D2) was comfortable. It was very important to have a balcony, which ...

This was my 8th cruise and my 4th on RCI. The cruise was an 8 day Mexico cruise, October 13-21, 2007. The ship was chartered by Atlantis Events for the cruise. My partner and I arrived the evening before the cruise and stayed at the Crowne Plaza hotel just a few blocks from the cruise terminal in LA. The total price for a 1 bedroom suite with a view was $265 USD including breakfast in the ...

I'd like to add my voice to the previous reviews of our recent Hawaii cruise - it really was quite a disappointment, and this is coming from one who's done a great many cruises. Among many other factors were the interminably long wait in the L. A. airport for the bus to the ship, the change in itinerary, the nightmare of the disembarkation, and the Captain who couldn't seem to get off the "mike" ...

Embarkation was slow. The ship came in an hour late and boarding had to be delayed. The Vision and the Radiance were in port at the same time and the Radiance had the less equipped facilities. There was no water or other refreshments available until about 12:00 PM and I never did find the bathroom. We got there around 11:00 AM and did not board until after 12:30 PM. This was our first time on ...

Hawaii was wonderful and the cruise on the Radiance of the Seas was excellent. We had perfect weather and calm seas both going and coming, so it was like sailing on glass. We enjoyed Hawaii, but I think the Caribbean is just as good, and a heck of a lot closer to the east coast....but the cruising part was ideal and warm enough to be out at the pool every day except the first out of LA and then ...

Embarkation: Easy, diamond line had no wait. Ship They really have upgraded the look of the Radiance. We sailed on her 2 years ago through the Panama. She was showing a fair bit of wear and tear then. They really have done a nice job of upgrading... Dining: Food quality has improved. The overall taste of food has improved. Menu selection more varied and it was nice as for a couple of years ...

What a fabulous cruise! Our Cruise Critic group ... The Happy CocoNUTS ... was the best ever. We were aware of other Cruise Critic folks on the cruise, but they never joined the thread beforehand or came and participated in the Meet & Mingle. What's up with that? Too bad ... we would have loved to have you join us! We booked directly with the cruise line and had a very positive experience. We ...
