Creator's Key Takeaways

This is one of the better ones because you can really you got a view. You're not stuck inside the ship. It's it's really nice.

I love this photo area. Yeah. And they actually have some pretty cool art, too.

This is really a classic looking dining room. It's got that very open floor in down to the main deck on deck three.

If you're thinking about going on Radiance of the Seas, you'll notice there were no water parks. There weren't any there was not a flow rider, there's no iFly, there's no bumper cars, there's no ice rink, no ice skating shows.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the cruise compass or app for fitness class schedules.
If the pool deck bars are crowded, try the Sky Barrett Bar on the next deck for faster service.
Time your visits to the Wind Jammer buffet to avoid crowds.
