Don’t know if I’m just getting used to it, but it seems to be bland. Recommend Giovanni’s though.

Radiance of the Seas - 8 Night Alaskan Glacier (Vancouver round trip) ~ [our 11th cruise in 12 months] - Radiance Class views, big ship service with a neighborly less crowded pace and feel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️cruise and ship and service (bad port to sail from)
Awesome Alaska
A beautiful way to enjoy a part of our beautiful planet
