I would think it would depend on why it happened. Radiance is not the only ship to have this issue. Although I know she is getting older, she is one of my favorite ships and is lovely and I will be very sad when RCCL sells or scraps her.

My sister and I love the cantilever hot tubs in the solarium.

Well that looks good😀I am talking about the desserts. Sorry guys.

I was having issue earlier. I signed in about an hour ago and was able to place 1 dinner reservation, when I went to do the 2nd one, I got a notice they were full up. I am going to try again.

We were told 10 max for our Freedom cruise in June.

Radiance had problems with her propulsion system last year August after arriving back in Seward the week after I got off in Vancouver. I think if was one of her propulsion engines. Hopefully all will be well soon. It is unfortunate for those on the ship, but at least RCCL is offering compensation.

Oops, hopefully she brought along otc motion sickness meds which work really well, or has a cast iron stomach. I was on Explorer in one of the panoramic view cabin under the bridge on deck 11 several years ago and it was rocking and rolling for several days on the ship, they had bags out on all of the staircases. We slept great in that room and as long as we were laying down, we were fine, but every morning we would take turns getting up and showering, laying down to get rid of the motion sickness, get dressed and lay down. Once we were ready, got up and would run out of the room. 😅 Once we left the room, we were fine on the rest of the ship, but several people used those bags and/or went running from the dining room.😕 I was going to suggest you go back and check with someone else about the Macchiato's and Cappuccino's. Some are new and give the wrong info. They should just check. If you are staying on Liberty you might be ok with using the 2 card for your second cruise, or maybe they will give you the 2nd card after you start your second cruise, but I read somewhere that they were not going to let you carry the card from one cruise to the next, maybe 4 or 6 months ago. I don't know if they started doing that or not. On my 1st cruise just after Covid I pushed the issue with one of the crew (and won) because I made him check with someone else. You were supposed to be able to carry the cards from cruise to cruise at the time and I had bought one on my last cruise before the covid shut down and had a couple of punches left. Love the pretty blue skies. Glad the weather has turned around for the better for you. Thanks for posting.

You will have to let me know what you think of LOS. She is one of my favorites. The crew aboard all RCCL ships are wonderful, but Liberty’s were just special. 42 days until I get on Freedom with family, so I will live vicariously thru you to help me hang on. Enjoy!

It’s cruise day for you. Happy Day!😀

Have been enjoying your review. Enjoy your cruise.

@rrraydon Love LOS, and was sad when she left Galveston. I would fly to Dallas and visit with nieces & family, then drive with my sister to Houston and spend time with my nephew before boarding. Enjoy your cruise!

@QTBabyNurse It just goes toward your on board account as funds for you to spend so I don’t see why not. I just tend to spend mine on gratuities, or other purchases on board.

I book with air to sea and direct with airlines whichever is cheapest when I go in a day or 2 ahead of time. If I am going in day of, I usually use air to sea. Booking seats depends on your airline from what I experienced using Air to sea when holding off on payment. Some will do it before payment date and some will not. I do not pay for my flight until a week or to before final payment date, and it was easy to reprice my flights to and from Amsterdam with air to sea twice lowering it each time after checking costs on my own, as well as getting an alert from the Hopper app that flights prices had dropped. Assistance with flights is always a plus when there are issues.

They will punch for each shot of expresso used in your drink (Grande coffee is 2 punches). I personally prefer cafe latitude's coffee on the ships I have been on the past few years to the Crown Lounge coffee machine (although I do drink it upon occasion), Windjammer, MDR and Solarium. Also make sure you use your card up. I am pretty sure I read they will not let you use it on another cruise, which I used to be able to do some times. If there are 2 of you drinking it should not be an issue for you. You can check on this. Or someone will also comment. I agree to buy it on the ship to make sure they will allow you to use it for the drinks you want.

Congrats on getting your 1st block. I received my 1st one on Radiance last August in Alaska and was thrilled to get the clear block as well.
