Radiance of the Seas

Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas--March 2014

Of the 19 cruises that we have taken, we have never been on a RCCL ship. On this cruise from Sydney to New Zealand, the beautiful Radiance OTS was our home for 13 nights. Here are some pictures of this ship that I took on this trip for those who might want to get to know her better.

Library on Deck 9--self-serve and one of the few ships that do not lock up their books.

Radiance OTS is a beautiful ship, modern in many ways but still kept the elegance of older cruise ships. The glass in the centrum area made the ship bright and lively. A big ship but very easy to navigate.
