I cannot say enough about the beauty of the Radiance. I have cruised 20 times prior on 5 different cruise lines and I can safely say that this ship is the most beautiful I've ever sailed on. She shines like no other. Our balcony cabin was small...almost too small. We travelled with our adult children (they were in another cabin) and we could not all 4 be in the actual cabin together. 2 on the balcony and 2 inside worked. If you're travelling with any more than 2 people you will thank yourselves for upgrading to a JS. All of the beds have been replaced and we were the first ones to sleep on the new linens. They were amazingly good beds and the linens felt top notch. Definitely the best beds I've ever slept on at sea before. I can't rave enough about the beds.
The food was great!! We did dine at Chops (the specialty restaurant) for $20.00 a person and when we cruise again we'll probably spend 3-4 nights there. The meat was some of the best we've ever eaten and we are pretty selective and discerning. Do this!! You won't be sorry. The drinks were good, not watered down a bit. Top shelf drinks are about $5.50 per.
We also took advantage of the wine program. For $143.00 you get a choose from a selection of about 10 different wines and you get 5 bottles which you can order in any of the restaurants. We really enjoyed the wine and think that the selection was really good. We wish that more cruise lines would offer this program because it makes the whole dinner with wine thing uncomplicated.
