Great cruise! Capt Svender and his crew are amazing. In typical Royal Caribbean fashion, all of the crew went out of their way to take care of us and tried to honor every wish. The dining staff (waiter Cynthia and asst. waiter Marshall) were some of the best we've ever had! Merrick (maitre'd) and David (our head waiter) arranged a few specialty dishes at our request. Chef Sateesh makes some amazing dishes...the souffle and risotto were superb...according to the chef traveling in our party!

Cabin staff (Edward from Philippines) was exceptional, the bar staff as well. On an Alaskan cruise, where it can be a bit chilly, we spent lovely relaxing times in the Starquest Lounge on Deck 13 watching whales, dolphins and sea lions. The Solarium was another favorite spot for viewing and staying warm. Thanks Edguardo and Vinnie!

RCCL has upgraded the Radiance, changing and adding some specialty dining venues. Rita's Cantina, Izumi and Samba Grill (add'l chg) were added as well as the DogHouse and Park Cafe (no extra chg). Although we did not use any of them for dinner, we heard good comments from guests who did. We did take advantage of the Park Cafe in the Solarium...a concept taken from the Oasis of the Seas. It provided great salads and sandwiches without having to go to the Windjammer. Speaking of which...food was good as usual, with a great selection.
