This is Royal Caribbean-level guidance, not a Radiance of the Seas-specific review — ship-level cruiser sentiment appears here once we've collected and reviewed enough of it.
How this page works — and what it won't do
- Every verdict compares the fare to this ship's own 60-day tracked median, built from real daily price snapshots. There are no invented "was" prices — if we say a fare dropped, we watched it drop.
- We never call something a deal without real history: a sailing with under 7 days of snapshots is labeled "new", not given a verdict.
- All-in numbers include gratuities, port fees, and taxes — nothing hidden in the fine print, nothing sprung on you at checkout.
- How far back the history goes: our daily price snapshots for this ship currently reach Jul 12, 2026 — 73 days shown in the chart above, through Oct 9, 2026, and the newest snapshot behind this page is from Oct 9, 2026, 6:01 PM UTC.
- What we won't do: manufacture urgency, invent discounts, or round staleness away — every timestamp on this page is the real one.
