Planning on cruising the "Radiance" on 2/15/04 out of Ft. Lauderdale with two families(children ages, 18, 16, 15 and 11)to the Eastern Caribbean. Have done quite a bit of research and it sounds like a great cruise for botht the adults and children. However, nothing like hearing from first hand experience. I would greatly appreciate input prior to my making reservations. What do you think?

We've cruised on the Radiance twice on short cruises out of Seattle. Beautiful ship and great experience both times. Be sure to try the Portofino alternative restuarant at least one night.

We sailed the Radiance in Jan 03 on a Southern Caribbean cruise. The ship was great. The food was good. I agree to try the specialty restuarants. It was a nice vacation. I wouldn't be hestitant recommending it to anyone. Enjoy.

its a wonderful beautiful ship...took a 14 day Panama Canal trip on her in May. You will love it as will the children

itsmlf:

Do you have any info, pictures, Cruise Compas etch for the Radience 14 day canal trip? Hubby and I are booked on it for 10-18-03 and just can't wait.

Did you stop in Alcapulco? If so, did you see the Cliff Divers? I would like to see them at night if possible.

Thanks again for any help you can give.

the canal trip is fabulous. The Capt of Radiance is Capt Kent..who is outstanding. Go to cruise critics.com there is a posting for Radiance with a lot of pictures....you will loveit. In 16 cruises its the most beautiful ship we have seen. Feel free to email me with any questions.........
