Sail Date: Mar 2010

We were on our 5 Radiance class Royal Caribbean cruise on a 10 night Mexico. We'd been on the Brilliance for a transatlantic, the Serenade for several Ultimate Alaska repositionings and decided to head to the warm on the Radiance.

The class is our favorits and felt like home at once with several differences in decor. The funniest is what appears to be concrete, deteriorated piles of soccer balls in the entrance to the Cascades dining room both side of deck 5. Made us laugh. We also missed the sculpture of the bathing capped guy with the rubber inner tube in the deck 11 pool area. Other than those and the shower curtains rather than the shower enclosures on the Serenade, a great ship layout. Love the theater curtain!

The plumbing problems reported on these boards continued the entire time with decks 7-9 bearing the brunt of non flushing toilets and water turn offs. Although our lower hall had wet carpet under foot and workmen tearing wall & ceiling panels off looking for the problems. One of our tablemates reported that she woke at 4 am to use the toilet, found no water or flush and ended up heading to deck 11 in a bathing suit cover up to use the rest room, found the water off, and had to use deck 6.
