Which Radiance Class ship has the best centrum?

[GemsJetsSilhouettes]

It's my understanding that some have had the glass staircase removed, and that they all differ in decor. What's the decor like in each centrum, and which one is best?

I like Serenade but once Radiance get her make over I expect they’ll add the same color changing LED lighting Serenade has.  Brilliance is a solid choice too.

I believe Jewel still has the glass staircase.

Radiance and Jewel still have the stairs. They also still have the former next cruise area as a lounge above the centrum. Much better than Brilliance and Serenade who have closed this nice space to the public because they used it as working area for the discontinued Arial show. It is now an empty unused space.

I agree with you.  It looks odd having that empty space up there.  I like it when they had future cruise desk even if you could hear the noise from below.

 

I also hate that they have removed the sliding dome over the pool on some Radiance class. No one really looks ar movies much on the big screen.  I took the Serenade last year in the Baltics and it was a shame all the kids had to go to the adult area.  I am not happy with some of the changes to the various ships especially Radiance class.  Now I see all the Oasis ships will have that ugly pink dry slide.  oh well

Serenade doesn’t do aerial shows anymore?

I don't believe any of the Radiance ships do the aerial shows any longer.

Correct.  The reason given was that they could not get the riggers anymore.

I thought so...thanks for verifying that.  I had also heard there were too many accidents, according to one crew member...but not sure how accurate that info was.

The sliding cover is in the solarium and has not been removed.

That would be quite the challenge. 

Now, I dont see it open very often

Last time was Serenade 10 day

Thanks for the info everyone! Sad to hear it's already gone, was looking forward to finally experiencing it on our upcoming cruise. Awe well, lots of other great things to do. Just out of curiosity, did anything replace the aerial shows?

[CanadaRob]

Jewel is still one if my favourites and did see the solarium open in port in Aruba? Or Curaçao?

Brilliance is also very nice.

It's a dangerous world 6 stories above or below and perhaps due to potential injuries the insurance policy may not cover it.

Most likely rusted shut anyway.  😉
