We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 day Caribbean Cruise on the Radiance of the Seas. Our balcony cabin was very nice and always kept very clean by the steward. Our dining experience in the Cascades couldn't have been any better each evening at 5:00 with wait staff going out of their way to make sure we were satisfied and pleased in every way with food, service and atmosphere. We also had nothing but a positive experience in the Windjammer Cafe with a marvelous buffet, whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner. All the shows were excellent in the Aurora Theater and we enjoyed the events in the Centrum. I am especially thankful for the special event recognizing all the Veterans onboard. The weather was perfect at each of our Ports of Call and getting on and off was very efficient. Our best experience was at Coco Cay! We had no problems with Embarkation or Disembarking.
Pros: Perfect size ship! Not too big and not too small. Excellent staff in dining room, Windjammer Cafe and Cabin.
Cons: Ship could use refurbishing!

The staff onboard were very hard working and spoke to you at all times. From the Washy Washy lady at the Buffet making sure you sanitized your hands to the hard working Ronald making your rooms neat and clean. Our favorite staff members in the dining area were Albert and James. Words cannot express how much they went over and beyond their duties to make sure our dining experience was wonderful. Please, please let them know again how much we appreciated all they did to please us, especially 6 year old Salem! They are certainly top notch!!!
Pros: Staff was unbelievable in making sure you were accommodated at all times. Our favorites were Albert and James from main dining. Absolutely the best team waiters I have ever experienced. I can’t say enough about their willingness to make sure your meal was excellent! We always asked for them when we ate in the main Dining area
Cons: None - everything was absolutely wonderful!

Our fourth attempt to do this cruise and well worth the wait. Alaska is just spectacular and got to see many whales, seals and eagles throughout the trip. Radiance shined!
Pros: Great selection of exursions, lots of variety on shipboard activities, enjoyed the various productions, and the puppies! Enclosed Solarium kept the pool area warm enough to enjoy the salt water pool.
Cons: Hot tub stayed busy and could have been warmer (probably 94-96) in the Solarium. Did not try the "outdoor" hot tubs - they were always busy! Ice Cream station is indoors on the Radience, so limited hours to embibe.

Radiance is a smaller, older ship but it’s sturdy and well made. Classy. The staff is amazing, as always on RC. Food quality has declined overall.
Pros: Great staff, clean, fun activities
Cons: Food quality has decreased
