This was my 4th RCC cruise, and the first time on Radiance Class. I enjoyed this boat so much more than the Voyager Class. Given, the Radiance of the Seas underwent major renovation last year, so probably not all Radiance ships are this nice.
The upgrades made the ship comfortable to live on for 18 straight days. The solarium was a hotspot as sea days were chilly. The teak wood made it an attractive place to be. The addition of Cafe Park in the solarium was a nice touch, almost reminding me of the Spa Cafe on Celebrity ships.
The addition of multiple specialty restaurants was a plus. 18 days on a cruise ship and variety is craved. We dined at all 4 restaurants, with surprisingly, Giovanni's being our favorite. The service, the lamb and osso-bucco cooked to perfection was noteworthy. Chops Grille was a disappointment, due to service and overcooked filets. Izumi served decent quality seafood from real sushi chefs. In the past couple years of cruising, so called sushi has been served, but it was not raw fish. This was the real deal.
