Rare SUESEABE Posted February 19 #1 Share Posted February 19 Is there presently a Rita's Cantina on Radiance OTS? If so, is it just a bar or is both bar and restaurant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainannoyed! Posted February 19 #2 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I’ve been on several Radiance class ships in the last few years. Rarely is Rita’s open. When it is it is just drinks. Edited February 19 by captainannoyed! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted February 19 #5 Share Posted February 19 Still called Rita's Cantina on twin sister Serenade. But it became just a bar on the side there, no food, and the tables were simply occupied by pax from the WJ. Recently, just after sail away for the WC...they turned it into a health drink/fruit and veggie smoothie bar. Actually very good! But has not been an actual Rita's for some time, though the signage is still up. Kind of a failed venture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted February 19 #6 Share Posted February 19 It wasn’t open in October on the Panama Canal cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 19 #7 Share Posted February 19 I believe Rita's was a fish place first (Alaska itinerary) but neither of the venues made it...MEH !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted February 19 #8 Share Posted February 19 I was on her back in November, it has just become extra seating for WJ again. It is still themed as Rita's, but I never even saw the bar open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember "Sea View Cafe" on deck starboard side, which is now Izumi on all four sisters. Really good onion rings... 😉 Edited February 19 by island lady 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is long gone on Radiance, just used for WJ seating though Mexican vibe still there. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosieRoo Posted February 19 #13 Share Posted February 19 Currently on Radiance, no Rita’s Cantina, it’s just a bar with seating now, but they do have two restaurants that were not on the Jewel or the Serenade when we were on them in the fall. The Dog House which is outside the WJ where there’s usually coffee and tea on the other ships and Samba Grill which is on 12 where Izumi is located on the other two ships. Radiance has Izumi in the back of the WJ on the opposite side from where Rita’s was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoperDK Posted February 19 #16 Share Posted February 19 How is that Brazilian steak house, anyway? I've never seen it on any other ship. Thinking about booking it when we cruise Radiance later this year. FWIW....we are meat lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a very good salad bar that I mostly skipped and just filled up with the meat. Did save a little room for a chocolate desert. As I remember it they came around the table every few minutes with new offerings. Edited February 20 by taglovestocruise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so much meat and we just ended up sharing each meat choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted February 20 #22 Share Posted February 20 Samba is very good. Make sure you come hungry because you’ll be stuffed when you leave. They also serve a cinnamon crusted slice of pineapple for after dinner that’s delicious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeMissSeaView Posted February 20 #23 Share Posted February 20 As you can see by my name, I truly miss the Sea View Cafe. Took a cruise on the Radiance to eat at Sea View Cafe one last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm...strange change out. That is where Izumi is on the other sisters....so now I guess Izumi is aft of the WJ where Rita's was. Must be an odd set up. I don't like where Izumi is on Odyssey either...both would have too much pass by foot traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point during the Alaska season, they taped new signs over the Rita's signs and tried to turn it into a seafood restaurant about 8 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
