Radiance will get a "Royal Advantage" refit prior to her Alaska season this year. This is from the RCI website:
"In 2011, experience the Royal AdvantageSM when Royal Caribbean expands our most popular innovations to selected ships, giving more to see, more to do and more to love – to more guests than ever before. On Radiance of the Seas, there will be more to taste, savour and share as an array of dining options arrive on board in summer 2011. Other enhancements include a nursery, Diamond Lounge and television upgrades.
After enhancement, guests will experience the beauty of soaring taiga forests, cascading waterfalls and rolling tundra as Radiance of the Seas sails from Seward to other beautiful Alaskan ports including Juneau and Skagway."

I thought the requirement was 5 years. The Freedom of the Seas is scheduled for March of this year which is 2 months short of being 5 years since her launch. The Liberty of the Seas is going in right now at the age of only about 3.5 years old and RCCL just posted on their blog about how that is really early for a ship so new.
