Cruises to Nowhere -- April 1-4 & 4-6, 2001

These were our 15th and 16th cruises (back-to-back) in the past four years and our 6th & 7th on RCI. We booked these cruises so that we could be among the first to experience the much touted new ship the Radiance of the Seas which is the first of a new class of ships that RCI is introducing. The new Radiance class ships will be in size between the megaships (Vision class) and gigaships (Voyagerclass). Unlike the most recent gigaships, the Voyager and the Explorer, this one is Panamax (can pass through the Panama Canal). She is indeed a beautiful ship. Needless to say, we had another interesting cruise. Again the weather was perfect, the Caribbean Sea was calm, the moon was full and the stars were bright: the right ingredients for relaxation.
