Overview

One of Royal Caribbean’s Radiance family of ships, this vessel has more cabins with balconies than many other ships of its size. The ship has a more European feel than some others in the Royal Caribbean fleet. However, most of the passengers are American.

The clever use of glass, including floor to ceiling windows in the public areas, gives the ship a spacious feel.

Features include a retractable glass roof in the pool and lounge area.

Food is of a good standard for the price.

The service is friendly rather than sophisticated, and you don’t get the attention to detail and the special, personal service that you will find on smaller ships.

Suitability

An excellent choice for couples, singles, first-timers and experienced cruisers, as there is so much to do on board.

Good value for money. Royal Caribbean is one of the best options for families as it has extensive facilities for children and an excellent kids’ club. However, passengers who want a more British experience may prefer to travel on P&O.

Some passengers may feel there is too much ‘hard sell’ on board, and there are a lot of announcements, which can be annoying.

Hints & Tips

There are more Brits on board the summer Mediterranean cruises than those that sail the Caribbean in winter.

Suite passengers have their own club for breakfast and evening drinks.

Text-mad cruisers will be pleased to know that mobile phones can be used at sea.

Recently, the cruise line introduced online check in, allowing passengers to fill in their details prior to boarding, making the embarkation process much quicker.

Economical drink packages for children and adults are available.
