It’s so rewarding to us to hear you say that our video is helpful!! We agree the food is fantastic on Radiance. We are going to be posting a follow up video so you might want to check that out when it is released soon. Thank you so much for your comment! Enjoy your trip!!
@jctswfl That is awesome. We really enjoyed the ship and most of the ports during the cruise! We just posted our Likes and Dislikes of Radiance th-cam.com/video/QgythQq4_Uw/w-d-xo.html and will soon post our quick few hours in Nassau to go along with Hideaway Beach and Bimini videos. Hopefully our paths will cross again and we can say hello! Thanks for watching - We really appreciate it!
We were on the Symphony in February 2023. All pools were so packed on sea days that we didn’t go near them. We stayed on board at a couple of ports and I had a pool completely to myself…doing laps. So I want you to know your experience on Radiance makes me anxious for our cruise in February 2025. PS. We were on Wonder February 2024 but it rained 6.5 out of 8 days so we rarely got to even go outside. 😢 There’s nothing like a tour through a Caribbean island in the pouring rain. We did it on two different islands. We were getting stir crazy. 😝 Enjoy your cruises. It beats staying home.
Your observations of the pools and pool deck is valid for most of the ships we have sailed. Sunny warm weather sea days are make the pools look more like people soup than a place to swim. Still, I was able to do laps early in the morning before the crowds got thicker. As for Radiance and Radiance class ships, having only 2800 passengers as compared to double that on Symphony will create a more relaxed feel. We address some of these issues in a soon to be published "Our Likes and Dislikes of Radiance of the Seas." It may be helpful to dissuade some anxiousness you may be having. Thanks for watching and let's stay in touch as you ramp up to your cruise on Radiance. We are sure that you will have a great time!
My wife and I are sailing of the Radiance of the Seas starting on 2-8-25. We were last on the Radiance 2017. We are so looking forward to this adventure. My question is, what is the kid factor? Are kids going to disrup our week on the ship? Thanks
Great question! The kid factor for us is when the type of ship, length of cruise and embarkation port line up to have a much higher amount of kids and those who like to party. Nothing against that but we have begun to lean into a more relaxed vibe. Your cruise being a 7 day out of Tampa with a classic older ship (without water slides, flow-rider, etc) should have that relaxed vibe. We loved our last cruise of Radiance so go enjoy! Thanks for watching 😊
