Sailed on the Radiance on March 24th for a 4 night cruise.Embarkation was seemless, but not a quick as other reviewers stated. There was only one metal detector in use and as a result a line to get through the metal detector. Once passed that part, we filled out the Health Information card and proceeded through the remainder of the process quickly.Dining - The food was good. Ate mostly in the Dining Room (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Had breakfast in Windjammer only once. Also, lunch in the Windjammer once. Just not a buffet fan, so stuck with the Dining Room when possible. The service in the dinning room was good with the exception of one lunch. At lunch, there is a salad station in the dinning room that is excellent. You get to pick what you want in the salad, but the portion is rather large. Highly recommend the salad station. Was disappointed that the policy of no shorts, t-shirts, and jeans at dinner is not more strictly enforced. Every night we saw people allowed into the dinning room that did not meet the official dress code. The dress code should either be enforced or ditched.Entertainment - the production shows where pretty good. They were comparable to other shows that I've seen on previous cruises. The last night's comedian was funny. It was a "family friendly adult comedy show".Fitness - If you are a runner, be sure to pick your run times strategically if you plan to use the track. It surrounds the pool area and can be crowded. Took a spin/wheels in motion class one morning. A good class but the charge is a little high (with tip almost $14.00) for one hour.Debarkation - Ended up using a porter to help with our bags. That lead to a much quicker line and exit through customs.Overall - a nice vacation and cruise.
