Overview

Carnival Radiance will house all of the classic Carnival onboard activities, of course. At the WaterWorks aqua park aboard Carnival Radiance, there are two water slides over 200 feet long. While sailing on this beautiful ship, you are guaranteed to have not only fun, but also to be well-fed. Big Chicken, the fast-casual eatery owned by Carnival's Chief Fun Officer Shaquille O'Neal, opened its first location at sea on Carnival Radiance, along with favorite Carnival dining options like Guy's Burger Joint, Cucina del Capitano, and the Seafood Shack.

5 out of 5 stars

Deon was the best cruise director by far.the comedians, Jason Love and Jimmy De Valle were funny and interactive. My room sturt, Edwardo was the best. I would love to travel with Deon again.

Pros: Speedy check in, great value, friendly an attentive staff.

Cons: Beverage package to expensive for light to no drinker.

First time cruise for my daughters. They loved it!! We had so much fun, are so much and in general just relaxed and bonded. Would definitely recommend and go again. Biggest con was how crowded the boat was. It was hard to find a quiet place other than the stateroom.

Pros: Lots of activities, wonderful staff, great burgers

Cons: Super crowded
