I'm off to watch something I TiVo'ed the other day about the Radiance in Alaska. I'm still curious about that class of RCI ship. To me... it's basically not much more than a tweaked Grandeur OTS... which in itself is basically an upgraded Majesty OTS. To me, Grandeur is Majesty with an atrium pool. And Radiance is Grandeur with pool tables. Radiance class may be a bit different, but there is nothing functionally new or exciting about them like you find on Voyager class. With the central promenade, the whole cruise experience (particularly with a group) changes. It becomes a meeting place... there are always a Viking or 2 that you run into in the promenade. Voyager works differently than other ships. Cruise dynamics change with the promenade. To me, Voyager is a major "jump". Kind of like when you switched from DOS to Windows. The promenade makes it work differently, and significantly better. But there's no "jump" with Radiance class. There isn't anything that much more unique or splendid about it. Unlike their cousin Millennium class ships which are very spacious with high passenger space ratios (same hull and same size) Radiance class feels crowded in many areas. The Aquaspa on Connie felt very "inviting". But the atrium on Jewel felt rather claustrophobic. There was way too much jammed in there, and the decorations were way too much for me. All walking paths in the atrium were interrupted by something (seeming intentionally). It seems you always have to walk around something all over the ship. Like they put a large table with a statue right in your path as you walk through the atrium pool area... but what's the point? To make you have to circle around it? It's like they put it there to be annoying. To me Voyager was WOW. Different. Unique. Jewel, while a very pretty ship, was basically Ho-Hum. It was very nice, but it didn't knock my socks off. There wasn't anything unique and different about it. --Tom |

Interesting comment! I'm off to watch something I TiVo'ed the other
day about the Radiance in Alaska. I'm still curious about that class of RCI ship. Radiance class is nice very nice, easy to get around on, I think I liked the Serenade even better then the Jewel I can not tell you why that is as they are almost identical. I think it was the crew .. Its a lovely elegant ship, for a couple its wonderful,. for a group I prefer Voyager class Susette Join us on our Annual Group Cruise 04Dec05 Mariner of the Seas!

We went VOTS/EOTS to BOTS and really liked the differences. Btw, watching BBC regarding Brit vacationers on the 7Seas Radisson. |
