Ship was clean and safe, the excursions were fun; the food was very good. That said - the large ship environment is not for me. No place to sit quietly other than your cabin... In the common areas, Grandma hoards all the seats for her family of 8 or 10 and sneers at anyone who comes near. Too much emphasis on sell, sell and sell. No water fountains - except in the gym. Too may bars.

We had a wonderful time on our 7 day Alaska Cruise. Everything went smoothly from the flight there and back, to the cruise experience. We will go again.

Had a great time

Everything was great other than the room on the 2nd floor of the ship which had a water leak and smelled the entire time we were onboard.

This was my wife's and I first cruise ever. I don't think we set the bar too high but still wanted to be pampered for a few days. The ship's interior is reminiscent of the an older motel. Clean yes, older no doubt. Dark and perhaps even a bit dingy. Main lobby was small and had no room for us to participate in any offered events. Most activities were held in the bars. We imbibe occasionally but didn't want to spend our first cruise sitting in a dark bar for extended periods of time. No one we encountered had any value towards personal space. Even when the elevator had 8 passengers,

The food was good and all staff were polite and courteous.

RC is just not our favorite company

Radiance great ship and crew!

Trip was beyond expectations! Weather was perfect, excursions were awesome and the food was great!

Food was amazing staff was wonderful but the teen and kids intertament was week

Great trip made possible with Todd Embree. He worked hard to be sure all details were covered. Saved us almost $2k on flights. I got a quick response on a Holiday about confusing train tickets. It was a vacation our family will remember forever!

Cruise and crew were great. Only complaint I have was with the soda package I purchased for my wife and I. Cost us over $200 and was for unlimited soda, water, etc. Diet coke was the only diet drink available and could only be gotten in bars and in the Windjammer. Bars you often had to wait and in the Windjammer you always had to stand in line. Certainly was not what we expected. And come on - only one diet soda available. Ridicules

loved the cruise food not as good as should have been

I love the crew! Captain Merrick is my favorite Captain so far. The crew was cohesive and very helpful. It was a relaxing yet entertaining cruise. I would do it all over again.

Everything was great! From The service on the cruise, and the guides on our 3 day excursion. We had a fabulous family vacation!

Good value based on price, food and service. Royal seems to have stepped up to HAL level for engagement by staff with the customers. My preference is still HAL for slightly better food selections and less noisy entertainment. One thing was new to me and very pleasant, as the waiter at the end of dinner would summarize the following day's times for port and restaurants.

On my 8 day cruise the cabin was fine, right next to the main elevators but very quiet. That location was great. The food was very subpar. Seemed like they were really operating on a shoestring. The dining room was especially disappointing. As the cruise went on, more and more people would just go to the buffet instead of the dining room. The buffet was quite bad as well but there were more choices. The ship seemed fine.

Very good value

Great trip, great food, great cabin location, short walk to everything.

The view from NOLA down the Mississippi is different than watching open seas. Still growing pains on dining room

Staff is always excellent and friendly. Being on a smaller ship has it's pros and cons. On the good side there are less crowds and less walking and more intimate. On the downside, less venues and the entertainment places are more crowded. The main restaurant was very good. Of course the specialty restaurants are even better. Plenty of bars to choose from. Wi-Fi service was erratic at best.
