Greetings from Florida.

I had the chance to visit the Radiance of the Seas this morning and took the following pictures. These are with my Video/Digital Still cameral so they are not the best quality. I will post additional photo's when I get back.

Overall I was very impressed with the ship. Lots of wood - actually smelled like a sailboat - and subdued earthtones very classy ship. I will post a more complete report when I get back.

Joe, what is the name/model of your digital camera? Great pixs! Thank you.
I wanted so bad to take a few shots of that pool at NIGHT (especially with my video camera) next to the spa and solarium, but when the storm hit, several areas were off limits.

So, I stayed in the casino and took advantage of the goofy slots that kept dropping money for no particular reason to anyone who happened to walk pass. I'll share your photos with my friends/family.

Joe - great pictures - the quality is excellent. The forward pool looks very inviting and love the subdued colours - not like Carnival's Spirit, eh!
Have fun on the Maasdam and don't forget those photos! I am really anxious to see my friend!

I want to know where in the casino are those slots? I could use some extra change when I get on the 23rd

some other friends of mine sailed on April 4th (same two day'er). I'm told they weren't as fortunate. Apparently the glitches were repaired. But, the machine that paid the most for me was - as you entered the casino from the atrium, it was to the left of the bar and in front of the cashier (where the $5 machines are located. Dollar machine with 3 or 4 circles on top. When you hit a certain pattern, you're automatically a winner and paid a the amount of coins where the light stop moving within the circles.
Good luck!
