Radiance of the Seas-Western Caribbean December 2006
Port of Embarkation: Ft. Lauderdale. Embarkation could not have gone better. We were dropped off at the pier and walked on the ship in less than 30 minutes. It was well organized by all of the RCI staff. We immediately headed to our room and were greeted by a bon voyage gift from some dear friends of ours. We then headed to check out our dining table in the Cascades dining room. We had a great spot next to the grand staircase, but quietly tucked away to where there was hardly any foot traffic by our table. We were in the first seating which I will prefer on every cruise from now on.
After that we headed to the Windjammer for lunch and enjoyed seeing all of the happy faces of those getting as excited as we were to be shortly heading out to sea. The buffet was ready and abundant.
