Radiance of the Seas is a beautiful ship
holding 2100 passengers. Renée and Andréa are standing
in front of her.
|
Immediately upon boarding of course we headed
for the buffet. This is only a small part of the lavish and beautiful
Windjammer Buffet.
|
|
|
|
We loved the Thermal Suite in the spa. Heated couches in a warm room lead to the sauna, steam room, and aroma room, and then into the tropical shower and icy drench.
|
Our first stop was Vancouver BC.
|
|
|
|
Our city tour of Vancouver took us to many
beautiful parks with views of the sound.
|
Back aboard the ship, Renée actually made it up the rock climbing wall. She had quite a gallery cheering her on! Guess who stayed on the deck and took the pictures?
|
|
|
|
The Solarium on Radiance is considerably more stunning than the typical covered pool! |
Relaxing among the plants is a good way to decide whether you want pizza or brownies from the restaurant in the corner!
|
|
|
| Here Renée is testing the water in the solarium pool with its beautiful decorations. |
In Victoria we took the Larkness MonsTour
on board a converted Vietnam LARC (Landing and Rescue Craft).
|
|
|
|
When the LARC splashed into the harbor, we
had a great tour including this view of the Empress Hotel.
|
The Empress is a landmark in Victoria and
has been patronized by the Queen.
|
|
|
|
Every visitor to Victoria must try the High
Tea in the lobby of the Empress Hotel.
|
In May we toured Victoria in this lovely 1926 Model T convertible from Classic Car Tours.
|
 |
|
|
We switched from the Model T to this classic 1965 Pontiac convertible to cover the scenic Marine Drive.
|
The Radiance of the Seas is a wonderful ship and we salute her and her Captain!
