I went on Radiance as a first time cruiser the 9th-12th of this month and I had a ball. Deon was great and the crew knew us by name after one encounter. I loved guys burgers and yea the buffet could use some work. The Italian restaurant was literally the best we ate. The comedy Show was amazing and the club was lit! So much diversity. Carnival radiance is an underrated line. Can't wait to go during spring or summer when its warm because i was freezing lol..

The staff was amazing very attentive and we loved Deon too 😂 can’t speak on the buffet as we didn’t eat there but the dining room food was pretty good and we loved the steak house that was the best meal we had on the cruise. We loved our time so much we booked another trip on the radiance again
