PlumMad Posted March 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Great pictures! What was the weather like? We are going in two weeks on the Radiance, and I have heard the weather has not been cooperating. Also, what night is the midnight buffet? Did you go to CocoCay?

LindaandJeff Posted March 10, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted March 10, 2006 You got on the ship day we got off - how was the eastern? It looked a bit stormy on Sunday? How was the weather? Very rocky the first night and day out. DH and I were the only 2 at a table of 12 to make it to dinner. The Captain announced during the muster drill that we would not be going to cococays but would be heading around the gulf stream that was causing the rocking and going to San Juan instead. So, instead of the first full day being at Cococay we spent the first day at sea and the 2nd day in San Juan (Old Town). They put together excursions for San Juan and sold them on Monday. On the day we were in St. Thomas they cancelled the St. John Beach party due to high waves and refunded the money. In St. Maarten, the undertow was also quite strong and we had quite a bit of wind (and many flying beach umbrellas) at Orient Bay. We still had a great time though!

LindaandJeff Posted March 10, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Great pictures! What was the weather like? We are going in two weeks on the Radiance, and I have heard the weather has not been cooperating. Also, what night is the midnight buffet? Did you go to CocoCay? Thanks Thanks! Cococay was changed to San Juan and they did offer excursions. Weather wasn't wonderful but we still got tan and had a great time. The gala midnight buffet was the 2nd formal night. They allow photos from 11:30 - 12:15 then close and reopen for eating at 12:30 (actually they opened earlier but they say 12:30). If you are having a meet and mingle watch for a time change. The Cruise Director (Peter) likes to have it the first day out so ours was changed to 10 PM the first night. Alot of people didn't make it due to the rough seas and the late hour since many of them flew in that morning. I will post my full review this weekend. I hope you have a chance to read it before you leave. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaandJeff Posted March 10, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Great pictures of my favorite ship. Thanks for posting. It's now our favorite ship, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyKfrmWA Posted March 10, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Linda and Jeff, thanks for the pictures. We leave for the Western Carribean in 8 days on the Radiance!!!!! Not only did your pics make me hungry, but very anxious to get on the ship! We will have an inside room :(, it is my first time without at least a window, but since it was just my daughter and I we thought we would try to keep the expenses down. Now the prices on the balconies went down so far, I wish I had upgraded. Oh well, we won't be spending that much time in our room anyway. Thanks again, Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post a review this weekend. http://community.webshots.com/user/metonacruise Loved the pictures. We are on the Radiance in November for the Eastern trip. You had a D1 cabin. We have an E1. Any idea the differences? Thanks for sharing the photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahokie Posted March 11, 2006 #15 Share Posted March 11, 2006 We will be on the Radiance in 4 weeks on the Eastern cruise. Which nights were formal nights? Which night was Caribbean night in the Dining Room? Thanks so much for the pictures. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe2ship Posted March 11, 2006 #18 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Lindaandjeff, thanks for posting your pictures. The gala buffet sure looks impressive. I am booked in a D1 cabin and the storage looks plentiful. Is there a longer sofa in this cabin? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaandJeff Posted March 11, 2006 Author #19 Share Posted March 11, 2006 We will be on the Radiance in 4 weeks on the Eastern cruise. Which nights were formal nights? Which night was Caribbean night in the Dining Room? Thanks so much for the pictures. Can't wait. Day 1 - Sunday Casual Day 2 - Monday At Sea (instead of CocoCays) - Formal Day 3 - Tuesday San Juan (instead of at sea) - Casual - Italian Night Day 4 - Wednesday St. Thomas - Casual/Caribbean & Poolside Buffet while refueling in St.Croix (10:30 pm - 12:30 am) Day 5 - Thursday St. Maarten - Casual/50's & 60's (LOBSTER Night) - Quest Day 6 - Friday At Sea Formal - Gala Buffet (11:30 - 12:00 viewing; 12:15 am - 1:15 am eating) Day 7 - Saturday At Sea - Casual Our food schedule kind of was off from what they normally do because of rough seas the first day and a half and because they were scared we would have rough seas the last day too (but we didn't). That's why they don't put the date on the menu anymore...so they have some flexibility. Lobster on casual night??? It was kind of weird! Anyway, you will have a GREAT time!

LindaandJeff Posted March 11, 2006 Author #20 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Lindaandjeff, thanks for posting your pictures. The gala buffet sure looks impressive. I am booked in a D1 cabin and the storage looks plentiful. Is there a longer sofa in this cabin? TIA Tons of storage in the D1. We also carried 1 of the nightstands out to the balcony when we wanted to eat out there because the table is small. The sofa is longer. Would seat 3 people before the gala buffet or 2 people after!

megessey Posted March 11, 2006 #21 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I loved the photos of all the storage nooks..... thanks for those details! Regarding all those lovely food photos.....Is everything there edible? And i mean not just edible but encouraged to be eaten? For example, those whole roasted chicken sculptures and all those lobsters!!! Did anyone get in on that stuff? I'd be too afraid to mess it all up, but then again what a waste of food if no one eats it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, those whole roasted chicken sculptures and all those lobsters!!! Did anyone get in on that stuff? I'd be too afraid to mess it all up, but then again what a waste of food if no one eats it! I thought about it (especially the lobsters) and probably would have tried it if it was the last night...wouldn't want to get kicked off the ship before that! Actually, not much goes to waste...you should see people attack it. I know for sure that they take the fruit carvings and chop it up toward the end to eat...I ate some of the watermelon that was previously a sculpture. As far as lobster goes, I ate my fair share...lobster in Portofinos and four tails on lobster night! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be in a D1 Radiance on 3/19...1st time on Radiance class....did I read in another post your son is going this week or am I confused... did you try any spa treatments? That was another poster asking about her son's upcoming trip... But, yes, I did the combination 25 minute reflexology plus 25 minute shoulder and neck massge for 50 minutes of bliss (I think I was snoring!:o ) during the foot massage. Booked it for 4:15 on a port day since we had to be back on board by 4:30 anyway and they still gave me the $20 discount for booking a treatment while in port!
