Second picture.. if you zoom over the top center of the blue pickups roof, that is radiance in the background getting refurbished

 

 

 

Thanks for getting the pics. Sounds like there's a whole lot of activity going on.

KGW news in Portland just aired a story about the drydock. You might be able to see it on KGW's website.....

We got a fantastic view of Radiance of the Seas in drydock on May 6, 2016 as we passed thru the area on Amtrak's Coast Starlight, Southbound train 11!

It's in dry dock now.. I was thinking about stopping by and taking some pictures.. From what I heard it sounded more like mechanical type refurbishment, propeller work, etc.

 

If I get some pics I will upload tonight..

 

Is she still in Portland or is she crawling north? We board Sunday.

Thanks for the information, you guys! We board the Radiance on Friday and I was just trying to find out if the internet was true VOOM or the old system, and found this thread. I got the email from RC offering the pre-board VOOM pricing and was nervous they were still trying to sell me the old, slow internet since most of their current literature only cites the new mega-ships having it (our friends got the internet package when we all cruised the Oasis last October and spoke very highly of it).

 

I didn't realize the ship had been in dry dock for the last two weeks, though it makes perfect sense per RC's 5 year schedule (after the 2011 refurb) and that they would freshen it up just in time to go into the Alaska cruise season.
