wiiCruz2 Posted May 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hey fellow cruise lovers, we will be traveling on the first south bound 2016 Alaskan sailing on RADIANCE OTS starting May 27; this is our fourth Alaskan Cruise with Royal in as many years. I will be PERISCOPING LIVE throughout the cruise. Follow me on Periscope @Rich_Triplett if you want to join me on the voyage [emoji1] DW and I are traveling with my DB and his wife and another couple. We have three D1 Balcony cabins; two are adjacent on the aft with the extra large balconies. We will be making port calls in Seward, Hubert Glacier, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and disembarking in Vancouver. I hope to be able to broadcast throughout the cruise. Follow me on Periscope @Rich_Triplett now to see it all live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiiCruz2 Posted May 22, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) RADIANCE has VOOM now (just installed during the recent "more to love" enhancements refurbishment earlier this month), so bandwidth shouldn't be an issue [emoji1] Edited May 22, 2016 by wiiCruz2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packercruising Posted May 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Following! We were on Radiance for an Australia/NZ cruise. Loved the ship. It will be great to see it again. We have been to Alaska twice. You are going at the perfect time! Of of course, you know that already. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 22, 2016 RADIANCE has VOOM now (just installed during the recent "more to love" enhancements refurbishment earlier this month), so bandwidth shouldn't be an issue [emoji1] Well, Royal has declared VOOM is on all ships now, but some ships have fast VOOM and some don't.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted May 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Well, Royal has declared VOOM is on all ships now, but some ships have fast VOOM and some don't. I think they called it Voom to sell more wifi. In reality for me until OB3 is installed will I call it Voom. I will follow along though. I love Alaska and haven been on Radiance for a long time, so I could use a holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scurrymd Posted May 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 22, 2016 DH and I are going in August, so will be following along your review! How is the ship looking following the refurbishments? Any noteworthy updates? And is Rita's (Cantina or Crab Shack) still there or did they put in something else? We're trying the specialty restaurants on our cruise (normally do MTD but it was full), so curious as to what they now have. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
