Favorite Radiance Class Ship

[surgie]

I'd like to try a cruise on a Radiance class ship. Is there an advantage of one ship over another in this class? If I go with an older Radiance ship, will it still have the same features of the newest one and be well-kept, etc.?

[KeepOnCruzin]

There just about all the same. the only difference is the way they are decorated. All ships are well maintained.

My favorite is the Brilliance. But, from the looks of it, I think im going to like the Jewel better.

 

15 Cruises since 1999

 

Jewel of the Seas.. Scandanavia/Russia

The solarium in the Brilliance is much better then the Radiance. From 360deg pics it looks better then the serenade.

 

I loved the brilliance

Been on Radiance and Brilliance and loved them both. I don't think you need to be concerned about the condition of any of the Radiance class ships as none of them are that old. One great thing they have is the multi-station buffet in the Windjammer as opposed to the traditional single buffet line found on most other ships.

Donuts, is there anything they can't do....

Out of the 9 RCCL ships I've been on the Serenade is the most beautiful and elegant! I can't wait to see the Jewel in November.

We have been on Radiance twice and Serenade and Radiance is our favorite because of the decor.

I have been on both radiance and brillance.

 

I think brillance was nicer and especially the spa. We like the thermal spa and they only had chairs where brillance had lounge chairs.

 

we are going on jewel next
