cruisingmyway Posted August 27, 2012 #326 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Gina, I am hoping that you (or someone else following this thread) can answer a question for me. Does the |Radiance have recumbant bikes in their fitness area or just spinning bikes with no back rest? Thanks, Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney54 Posted August 28, 2012 #327 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just wondering if the showers have curtains or doors? Will be on the Radiance, Hawaii to Sydney, in 4 weeks time and can't wait. Great news about the Internet as we will be using it. Have only sailed on Liberty and Voyager so far so am a little concerned that there may not be enough to keep us occupied for 17 days, only 5 port days. Any tips/info would be appreciated.

sail2sea Posted August 28, 2012 #329 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I forgot to mention that the satellites were all replaced in Seward on Friday. Here is a picture of one on the ground. The captain has said the bandwidth has now been increased and beginning possibly as soon as today, the Internet speed should increase by as much as 10 times. That's great news!

mommabean Posted August 29, 2012 #331 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yippee! Thanks for the satellite information, Gina. I'm using 4g now so I don't know if the speed has kicked in yet. I'm hoping there are no snags. UP to 10 times faster. LOL we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingmyway Posted August 29, 2012 #333 Share Posted August 29, 2012 for the info on the recumbent bikes. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted September 2, 2012 #334 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Another satellite was replaced in Vancouver. I still can't tell about the speed although my phone seems quick even on wifi. RD had the USDH inspection last week and scored 99. 1 point was deducted for a broken tile. The dining services had a separate audit and had it had it's highest ever rating. This week the RCI brand quality evaluation is being done by a man from the Miami office who goes around the ship constantly watching everything. It's a busy 2 weeks for the ship.

silverwillow Posted November 18, 2012 #337 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Great thread. Are DL and CL open to everyone or do you have to be elite or platinum? What time do the pools close? Thanks in advance, I am sailing on Radiance for the first time Dec 1st and really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted November 18, 2012 #338 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Great thread. Are DL and CL open to everyone or do you have to be elite or platinum? What time do the pools close? Thanks in advance, I am sailing on Radiance for the first time Dec 1st and really looking forward to it. The CL (Concierge Lounge) is open to Suite Guests and C&A Pinnacle Club and D+ Guests. The DL (Diamond Lounge) is open to Suite Guests (if they are PC/D+/D Members) as well as all PC, D+ and D Members. Pool hours will be listed in your daily Cruise Compass. I think I remember that they closed around 10 or 11PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVU Posted November 18, 2012 #339 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Here's hoping this is the first one and that RCL will upgrade ALL the ship's satellites. :D Linda (and C. D.) Liberty was getting theirs done while we did the TA and next cruise. It was ready for the Ball to be put on top. They constructed the tube? for it and a ladder on the tube.

I think to be closer to his family, can't remember the ship mentioned but smaller than Radiance class. We will miss him in May on our ROS cruise. Looking forward to seeing JD! He has the photo of our Australian inaugural CL group on his wall we were told.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romnan Posted November 18, 2012 #341 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It is my understanding that the Radiance is scheduled to replace the Jewel out of Tampa after this season and she comes out of refit:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiance is still sailing to and from Australia in the fall of 2013 and the spring of 2014. Radiance went through her refit back in May of 2011. Jewel is not scheduled for a refit until sometime in 2014 ((originally scheduled for 2016). Edited November 18, 2012 by cruisenfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any indication when in 2014 Jewel would get the refit? We are planning to take her in mid April 2014 on a southern Caribbean cruise.

She isn't scheduled for any location at that time so anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just may be scheduled elsewhere for the 2014/2015 winter season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
