    emory2001 got a reaction from RBRSKI in Radiance of the seas thoughts   
    I loved Radiance on our Alaska cruise (I've also sailed Jewel and Brilliance in the same class). It's not going to be as elaborate as the big ships (or as complicated, really), but it's a lovely ship and wasn't considered that small until Oasis class came along. It's not much shorter than Mariner and is nearly 50% longer than Empress, the smallest one. Yet you won't have to do as much walking as on the longer ships. I felt like all I did was get my exercise on Independence. Radiance is a great ship to see the water on. I particularly enjoy the outside seating at the back of the Windjammer.

    emory2001 got a reaction from Mikeb1892 in Did any of your kids NOT like the clubs on the ship (or the ship at all for that matter)?   
    Both of my kids are introverts and didn't like Adventure Ocean the one or two times they went, not because of anything wrong with Adventure Ocean. Groups and group activities are just not their idea of fun (they don't like summer camps or group sports either). They like the same things we like about cruising - relaxing down time, reading, movies, dinner in the main dining room, and after dinner shows.

    emory2001 got a reaction from Cam044 in Vision of The Seas, Enchantment of the Seas, Empress of the Seas.....do you recommend?   
    I've sailed Enchantment probably 5 times, because I live in Florida and for a long time she was going out of Port Canaveral, so it was an easy, value-for-the-money vacation to do frequently. So I definitely have a soft spot for her, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable cruise. That being said, I have found that the quality of the live entertainment shows *generally* corresponds to ship size. However, most of the shows are entertaining and worth watching.
    The only shows on Enchantment that I can't enjoy are the headliner juggling acts, which at one point they started cleverly referring to as "Action Comedy." I won't even go to those shows anymore, because (personal preference) they are utterly boring to me, and we had one performer who acted completely disgruntled with the audience and part of his show was quite vulgar, during the early show when kids are present. 
    Chances are, you would enjoy an Enchantment cruise, unless you have very particular goals that would be better met by a larger ship.
