Hi Cher,
Thanks for reading my article and taking the time to comment. I think you’re on the right track. From my galley tours I’ve learned that dinner orders are prepared individually and not pre-lined up under a heat lamp. However, a dish may sit under a heat lamp for too long if the waiter falls behind schedule or there’s some other interference. Or an item (in my case the baked potato) may just not be cooked enough because they’re rushing to plate everything. From past experiences, that’s what I think happened in my experience when it was served lukewarm. But who really knows what goes on during the dinner rush?

Thanks again and happy cruising!

Hi John,
Thank you for reading my Radiance article. Odd…Royal Caribbean’s website states that Radiance has a Sorrento’s. I do not recall anything except for a very small area near the solarium that cooked pizzas to order late at night. There have been some small dining changes since I was on the ship right before the pandemic started. Hopefully, your kids will find late night pizza! Have a wonderful cruise and thank you again for stopping by to read and leave your comment.

Hi Liza,
You will be in for a really fabulous experience. I think that in a couple of weeks, a lot of the hiccups will have been smoothed out. Cleaning on the exterior has begun and I’ve seen some fresh varnish on the railings, so not to worry about splinters. Good idea, too, for you to purchase the specialty dining package. Less crowds, better service. The ship is one of my favorites. It’s smaller, very spacious, beautiful, and slightly outdated, which I like! Have a wonderful cruise.
