We sail out of Vancouver on June 30th…

We were on RCI’s Radiance of the Seas in July 2022, and did this excursion - it was worth every single penny! While we hopped on the smaller boat to zip over to the glacier, those left behind on the ship never got close at all - too many icebergs in the area. We were very close, and saw wildlife, calving, etc - it was pretty amazing. We’re going back in 2023 on the Radiance again, this time with two of our adult children - and I managed to snag a Black Friday sale for this excursion at a “mere” $296 per person…but current prices have it at a whopping $364 pp for our sailing.

Thank you, Greg, for a fantastic review! Fellow KC girl here - when I saw your post about your coworker, Maria, I put 2 and 2 together. 😝 i hope you get good news at the ortho…! And, go Chiefs!!!

We used Mahara with ToursByLocals two weeks ago in Vancouver - had a lovely day with her, where she gave us a city tour, and then spent time with us at Capilano Suspension Bridge… We spent an hour or so at the Public Market, which was fun. I would highly recommend her.

I’m still mad you didn’t take me with you like you did the last time on Allure!! 😝

I live in Florida, so no, I don’t have appropriate clothing in my closet for Alaska. We don’t wear raincoats in the rain; I don’t own any hiking shoes; and my layers would consist of tank top over another tank top…and pants? We don’t need pants in Florida. 🙂 So, as others have said, half the fun in going on vacation is getting new clothes. These photos from our trip will be priceless, so excuse me for wanting to look like an Instagram model in them. 🙂

Thank you for the review! I booked this last September for our upcoming cruise in a few weeks…we’ll be doing this on July 26th. I’d read previous reviews, and it looked like the best way to see wildlife, without being crammed onto a boat with others. So excited! But as others have said, I’m still crossing my fingers that: 1. Our flights to Alaska actually go through without delays or cancellations 2. We pass the COVID test. (We’ve gone 2.5 years without getting COVID, but of course with my luck, our luck will run out!!!)

Are balconies on the Radiance class able to be opened?
