The renovation added to the ship new restaurants, entertainment, children’s programming and technology introduced on the line’s Oasis-class ships.
This summer Radiance of the Seas sails alternating, seven-night southbound and northbound Alaska itineraries before repositioning for its first winter season to Australia and New Zealand.
Among the additions are the Royal Babies and Tots Nursery designed for children, 6 to 36 months old. Also added were 12 new accommodations, including three single staterooms. Technology enhancements include Wi-Fi availability throughout the ship and flat-panel interactive televisions in all staterooms.
The ship also features a new Concierge Lounge for suite guests, a Diamond Lounge for Crown & Anchor Society loyalty program members, the Quill and Compass Pub and an outdoor LED video wall overlooking the main pool area that will show movies and entertainment programs.
Seven new restaurants were added, including the Samba Grill Brazilian steakhouse, the Asian Izumi restaurant, the Mexican-themed Rita’s Cantina, the Italian family-style restaurant Giovanni’s Table, the Boardwalk Dog House hotdog stand, Park Café deli-style restaurant and the Chef’s Table dining experience.
The
Boardwalk Dog House and Park Café are
complimentary eateries. Cover charges for
the other new restaurants are Giovanni’s
Table, $15 for lunch and $20 for dinner;
Izumi, $3 for lunch and $5 for dinner plus a
la carte menu pricing; Rita’s Cantina, $3
cover for lunch and dinner charge plus a la
carte menu pricing; Samba Grill churrascaria,
$25 for dinner; and Chef’s Table, a
five-course wine-pairing dinner limited to

In the Royal Advantage program, Liberty of
the Seas and Freedom of the Seas have
already completed the upgrades. Splendour of
the Seas is entering dry-dock in October.
And Oasis of the Seas, the first Oasis-class
ship, now has the DreamWorks Experience and
3-D movies, which first debuted on Allure of
the Seas.
