Default Anyone just off Radiance on 11/30/09???

Since Radiance has only been doing 4 and 5 day cruises to Mexico I have a few questions for the group that just completed the first of the longer cruises that just started.

Is anyone familiar with Royals 7 day menu that would know if Radiance is using the 7 day menu and just adding 3 more new menu's at the end of the cruise? (I hope that makes sense...I know the 7 day menu and am trying to decide which nights to do Chops and Portofino )

Are formal nights 2nd and 8th night?

Are Christmas decorations up yet?

Is there any other good insights you can give those of us cruising on the 11th?

Thanks for your help!!!!

EDIT>>>I just realized your cruise was 9 days and not 10......might not corilate with formal nights but thanks for your info anyway!

Just off Radiance yesterday. I'm not sure about the menus but the formal nights are 2nd and 8th.
Yes, the Christmas decorations are up in the centrum with a tree.

This is our new favorite ship. You will love her!
Have a great cruise

You might check out this thread:

We had dinner in at Portofino's on Night 4 & Chops Grille on Night 5 while on board. Thanksgiving Dinner was on Night 6. The Christmas decorations went up the day before Thanksgiving. I saw them continue to add more throughout the cruise. I hope they build a Gingerbread Village for picture taking as they have in the past.

She is a beautiful ship & the staff was great.

Depends on 9-10-11 night
SD is PT
Cabo & mazatlan are MT
PV, Man, Ixt, Acu are CT

Your first and last will almost definitely be change days.

We loved getting the time back at the end.
