Reviewer read
A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on cabins.
Radiance of the Seas rates higher overall than 54% of the ships we track. Disembarkation is its strongest showing. The weak spot is cabins.

The one caution
8.1out of 10 for cabins
Higher than only 33% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.40.
Everything else, in two lines
Six are good without being remarkable: disembarkation, service, activities, embarkation, fitness and dining. They rate higher than 52% to 78% of ships.
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 45 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Five fall below the fleet: ship quality, value, public areas, entertainment and cabins. They rate higher than 33% to 43% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.63 and 8.95. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
