Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document their first experience on a Radiance class ship, specifically exploring the Owner's Suite on the Radiance of the Seas. They begin by noting the ship's unique atrium design, which lacks a traditional Royal Caribbean promenade. Upon entering their suite, they evaluate the room's layout, noting the extended bedroom and balcony, though they find the balcony area somewhat small and loud. The tour continues through the bathroom, which features gold fixtures and a jacuzzi whirlpool bath, and into the living area. The creators then explore various ship amenities, including the Park Cafe, the Windjammer buffet, and the unique Solarium rainforest environment. They also visit the Schooner Bar, which they describe as the best they have ever seen, and the Colony Club. After a specialty dinner at Giovanni's Table, they test the marine stabilized pool tables, finding that the stabilization feature appears to be non-functional. The video concludes with the creators enjoying room service desserts in their suite as the ship sails away from Fort Lauderdale toward Grand Bahama.

Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the smallest Royal Caribbean ship we've ever sailed on, but not the smallest ship we've ever sailed on.

This schooner bar is the coolest schooner bar we've ever seen.

We are actually excited to go to Nassau. Braille has made Nassau a place people actually want to go to now.
