A fan favorite of Royal Caribbean has to be the Radiance class of ships, which offer a lot in a small package. The four Radiance-class ships can travel to nearly any cruise port around the world and what they lack in size, they make up for in range and experience. This week, I want to share why the Radiance class is such a fun bunch of ships to cruise on and why size isn’t everything when it having an incredible Royal Caribbean cruise.
