    I love the Radiance. I've been hopping between ship to ship for work and this is by far my favorite ship.
    quality of food and morale of staff has been the best amongst carnival's other ships.
    don't do this too often, but if you go towards the end of work hours for the Big Chicken spot, tenders will be made to order and they're sooooo juicy and soft straight out of the fryer.

    Enjoyed this a lot! I worked on this ship back when it was the Victory in 2006-07 as an Entertainment Lighting Technician. Haven't been back on her since lol. Production shows back then were "Vroom!" and "Living In America" if anyone remembers. It's insane how much the ship has changed since then just from looking at this video. Excited to see the rest of the ship. The main forward theatre was 3 decks tall, pizza and burgers were at the aft pool where it looks like Shaq is now, is there still a retracting canopy over the aft pool? Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nice! We sailed both Victory and Triumph back in the mid '00s and enjoyed them... we missed the Destiny though until she was already the Sunshine. Ah, the good ol' shows, yes... Nightclub Express, Brits, Motown, even all of those! We didn't see the retractable roof, though I'm sure it still has to be there... hmmm... like the ConQuest class has that as well still...

      As of right now... March 22, 2022... it looks like Carnival Radiance is the only ship offering $10 testing. There were one or two others, but they seem to have changed to the $100-$110 option or whatever the "normal" price is here: docgo.com/carnival/

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Much like Sunrise, they shrunk the main theater at the front from Decks 3/4/5 to just Decks 4 & 5, adding cabins on Deck 3. They also removed the big comedy lounge at the back of Deck 5, adding cabins there, and made a Limelight randomly in an area that I don't remember what it was before, ha ha... :P

    Did the Radiance 3 day to Ensenada recently as our first cruise to see if we should do a longer cruise this summer. Had a good time and happy to hear this ship is unique in its segmentedness. Based on your videos it seems like RC ships have a more "open concept" layout (boardwalk vs atrium) so might have to try them out.

      I was looking to sail out of Long Beach also but they didn’t have the date I want They only have the Los Angeles port.

    Was the testing at the port really $10 or was that a typo?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, for two or three ships on short cruises, they had $10 testing. Most ships in the fleet have the $100 or $110 or whatever it is. We avoid that one, hah!! :P

    Going on the Carnival panorama April 9th out of Long Beach.. Can we just do the covid test there at the port or do we have to have it done before we arrive?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They do have testing at the port for something like $100 per person, I believe. You register at Carnival’s DocGo site and schedule an appointment time slot. We’ve been using the $25 proctored at-home tests that we made a couple of videos about back in August!! :D

    How would you say the Radiance compares to the Sunrise? Trying to decide between the 2 and considering the itinerary...is it worth a longer flight to the West Coast?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They’re pretty similar, and Sunrise had some interesting lunch options that we didn’t see on Radiance. Unless you’re really after the west coast ports, I’d say check out Sunrise!! :P

      This set of cruises is the first time we've ever set foot on a California cruise, and both Navigator OTS and Carnival Radiance were all brand new ports for us, so I'm not sure how they got repetitive that quickly, ha ha... but all righty then!! :P

    We use to watch you all the time but have stopped following you since you continue to be Pc and wear your mask in open areas. The Carnival ships are now mask free! Might come back to you in a year to see if you’re still wearing masks.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      As we explained in this very vlog, the mask requirements didn’t change until March 1st, and we sailed on February 28th.
