Well, we took this particular cruise for the cruise only - we'd not had any great desire to visit Alaska. So the fact that we enjoyed the ports as much as we did took us a little by surprise. Our itinerary took us to Juneau, Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Skagway, Ketchikan and a day cruising the Hubbard Glacier. We really liked all the ports except maybe Skagway, but since it's the gateway to the world-famous White Pass Railroad, it's certainly worthwhile for most. Our choice of activities in each port really made a difference but of course we're talking touristy excursions, not in-depth exploration of an area like you might prefer.
As for the ship, the Radiance-class were purpose built for scenic cruising and have many places to enjoy the views in cooler climates. There's a lovely indoor solarium and pool and the thermal spa has glass walls looking out on the sea. We used them quite a bit as well as the Colony Club, which is a clubby-bar venue with billiards tables, darts and chess. There was a headline show in the theater every night and while the Vegas-type production wasn't that great, the guest artists were really fantastic on our sailing. There were two or three other lounges with live music too, and there's also a actual movie theater on-board, or at least there was. And for the sporty-types there's always the rock climbing wall and sports court for basketball, volleyball and some pickle-ball type of tennis.
The food situation was a little disappointing in the MDR because we were assigned Anytime Dining and found it to be very poorly handled. I'd advise anyone to stick with a Traditional seating time and expect they'd do better. It's one of the few RCCL ships to offer Brazillian BBQ as a specialty venue and we found it to be very high quality. There's also a nice cafe type place in the Solarium that made a good alternative to the Windjammer buffet, which gets worse by the minute on all ships, IMO.
Besides that, it was a pretty normal cruise experience - enjoyable to us in most ways. The beds were uncomfortable and I didn't love the service from our cabin attendant, but that happens sometimes. One thing that was quite remarkable was how UNCROWDED everything was and how young the average age of the passengers were. We were expecting "senior city" and a mob scene everywhere but it was totally not that. We saw probably 3 scooters the entire cruise and I don't remember even waiting for a elevator 1 time.
Anything else I could add?
