Radiance of the Seas -location

[dl6996]

Hi,

I noticed Radiance of the Seas has traveled from Singapore to Cyprus and is now near Cadiz, Spain! It doesn't have any cruises scheduled till Alaska at the end of April 2022. Does anyone know if it is headed into drydock in Cadiz? Perhaps a mini-amplification? Installation of the Royal App? Interesting!

Thanks!

She's in one of the dry docks in Cadiz.

thanks that is good news! Get her in tip top shape!

Looks like she'll be spending her warm layup in Cyprus with Voyager.

[dl6996]

Great! Can't wait till she makes her way to the west coast and California on the way to Alaska. Still months away but can't wait!

It’s not in any hurry,it’s only doing 10 knots.

With a few stops it will just get to the west coast in time.

Radiance is on the move.

On it’s way to Gibraltar, Any speculation why ?

Its suppose to start in LA next month,on it’s way to Alaska.

I’m guessing it’s going to take at least 15 days for her to get from Gib to LA !

So probably picked up crew in Cypress,some fuel in Gibraltar and through the Panama?

Cyprus seems to be a popular crew boarding port

She did a drive-by in Gibraltar and now on her TA.

Thanks! Only one of Class haven't been on but doing B3B Sep/Oct 2023, will also be my first Alaskan...

[dl6996]

Yes--left Gibraltar after quick stop and now on its way to Port Everglades!! Should be there around March 27th if the trackers are on target. Perhaps to pick up more crew? Then probably through the canal and to Los Angeles. Once it gets to LA it will be ready for its cruise up the coast and on to Alaska!

Interesting that there's no update (since late 3/16) on ship tracking sites.

 

Biker, who doesn't recall any ship disappearing like that (well, other than after being beached for scrapping).

This morning it looked like she was on her way as she was a few miles past Gib and now she’s back there again.

Where are you seeing her position?

On marine traffic she’s on her way again. Possibly a glitch earlier

Do you have a sat subscription? The free web version still shows info from 3/16 - I don't see anything newer.

[Biker19]

She's being shown again on cruisemapper - moving along at 16kn and still due in Fl in a week.

[dl6996]

Great!! I assume she will pick up more crew at port everglades/fuel etc and then head on through the canal! Now if they would just add Radiance to the Royal App. Not sure what they are waiting for on that.

Some ships were not added till a few weeks out from sailing - she's last to be added so it might be even closer to first sailing.

[dl6996]

Interesting, that's too bad. It would be nice to be able to check in via the app as soon as possible. Not a big deal as I guess we will just check in on WEB and then use app to board if able.

We are on the first sailing on Radiance (23rd April) and I emailed Royal to see what was happening with the app last week - this was the reply...

 

Our aim for all of our ships is to have the app ready before its first sailing. Although Radiance of the Seas is taking a bit longer than we expected, it should be ready relatively soon!

[dl6996]

great! that's good to know that they haven't forgotten us. You are just a little over a month out--hopefully they will turn it on soon for you.
