Q: We are booked on RCCL Radiance of the Seas next November. After reading the reviews in the Berlitz guide 2007 comparing RCCL & sister company Celebrity, we are a little worried that the Radiance isn't going to live up to what we have experienced with Celebrity re things like food, service in restaurants etc & also that Radiance of the Seas has continuous music being played & can be a noisy ship. Can anyone set our minds at rest please? 2 answers

Suggest you read the reviews over on cruise critic to get a varied honest opinion by a variety of cruisers. RCI is a 4* line and Celebrity is 5* - so of course there is going to be a difference. I have heard that the live music by the pool is going to be stopped [thank goodness], and yes there are a few announcements - but in no way is it 'noisy' or a party boat like Carnival are

I think your observations and those of Berlitz are spot on .... RCCL are for the mass market and the family withy plenty of organised activity, ranging from rock climbing to party games on deck ... as such they are far more holiday campish than Celebrity and their food, although perfectly palatable is far more plain fare. They are rather like P&0 in that regard and I believe Celebrity and Cunard are classier and quieter
