Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a balcony cruiser. I love a balcony room.

the spa was so busy. Most times we had a hard time actually getting access to it.

I still am a fan though of the views from a balcony room on deck 10.

Overall, really enjoyed the Carnival Radiance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Consider a balcony room on a higher deck for better views and less noise.
โœ“Be aware that spa access may be limited due to high demand.

Have you ever stayed in a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony Stateroom on a Carnival Ship? We recently stayed on deck 10 (stateroom 1016) in a Cloud 9 Spa cabin and I'm excited to share with you what that was like. Enjoy our video tour of our cabin on Carnival Radiance along with some of my thoughts. Make sure to see my other video featuring an interior cabin in Carnival Radiance (deck 8) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ6SMfNfNiE When you book a Cloud 9 Spa stateroom, this gives you access to use some of the Spa 9 features at no additional cost. On this ship, we were given access to the Thermal Suite heated lounge chairs (thermal beds) but as I mention in the video, we tried to go many times but the beds were quite often full. Booking a Cloud 9 Spa cabin does also give you spa discounts and robes in the room, but mostly I think these rooms are great because of the location on the ship. This Carnival Radiance was a 4 day/night cruise out of the Long Beach cruise port with two port stops: one in Catalina Island and one in Ensenada. I absolutely LOVE Catalina Island and highly recommend getting off the ship and spending the day just wandering around, it's fabulous. Overall, I thought that the Carnival Radiance was a nice ship. It's not as fancy or new as some of the other Carnvial ships, but I do think you get a lot of bang for your buck. Favorites on board included: *The chicken restaurant on Carnival Radiance is called Big Chicken, and it's owned and operated by Shaquille O'Neal. (oh my gosh the BEST chicken!!) *Definitely check out the Karaoke - we were blown away by the talent on this ship (and maybe it was just this ship, lol!) *Dive-in Movies (great NEW movies and the atmosphere was wonderful) * The casino: HUGE and full of the newest and greatest games *The fitness center *Alchemy Bar and Heroes Tribute Bar As you know, I'm a big fan of Carnival cruise ships, and I love checking out new ships to share with you. I also recently shared some of our favorite Long Beach hotel properties, both of which are in walking distance to the Long Beach port. See our video tours of those hotels here: Hotel Maya in Long Beach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP1JR4pUkbA&t=81s The Queen Mary Ship Hotel (the "haunted" ship hotel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaRbomMSuz4&t=33s #Travel #carnivalradiance #LongBeach #CarnivalCruise #cruiselife #carnival #familytravel Please leave a comment if you have any questions and you are always welcome to email! shesaved@gmail.com Make sure to visit She Saved in social!
