Radiance vs. Mariner

[hoglover]

Can anyone that's been on both the Radiance of the Seas and the Mariner of the Seas give me a comparison? Our first cruise was on the Mariner and our upcoming trip here in a couple of weeks to Alaska will be on the Radiance. We're curious as to whether or not the Radiance will live up to the Mariner.

Thanks

Hoglover, The Radiance is a different class ship then the Mariner. The Mariner is a "Voyager" class and too big for an Alaska cruise. The "Radiance" class ship is the best for this cruise. You'll love it. When you sail on the Mariner you'll be in awe at the size.

I've sailed on the Mariner before. I was asking for a comparison to that one because I've been on that one.

Sorry, I didn't catch your stating you were on the Mariner. The Radiance doesn't have a promenade deck or ice skating. The Windjammer is configured different than the Mariner. The ship is a close second to the Mariner.
