Creator's Key Takeaways

I have to say that the service in the dining room was fantastic.

All in all, I have to say I had a great cruise and I think everyone else had a blast as well.

The Radiance kids clubs are fairly small and they were packed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Try going to the far aft area on the Leo deck behind the pools and hot tubs for open tables on embarkation day.
✓Make sure everyone in your party goes to the bathroom before getting into the tender line at Catalina.
✓Try taking kids to the kids club at least one more time if they don't love it the first night.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Kids club might be too busy or chaotic — Try taking them at least one more time when they might have a different experience before giving up.
Long wait times for tenders — Make sure everyone goes to the bathroom before getting in line.
