Food Glorious Food



The Radiance of the Seas made a rare visit to us here in Melbourne and we had the opportunity to have a look around the on board facilities.

The Radiance is known as the Culinary ship of the seas as there are 6 alternate dining experiences available on top of your Main Dining room and Buffet offerings. This is one of the big  features of this ship which I will share with you below.

Your fare includes multi-course dining for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in the Main Dining room and access to the buffet in the Windjammer Cafe. You can enjoy other fantastic restaurants on board for a small surcharge, which is a fraction of the price you would pay in a normal restaurant at home.

Izumi - Asian-fusion Cuisine
Choose from Sushi rolls, Sashimi, Hot rock plates and more. This is the place to go for fresh Japanese food with impeccable presentation and a dining experience of cooking your own meals at the table. Menu items are charged individually based on what you order.
Cost per person: Menu items charged individually - USD $3.00 for lunch, USD $5.00 for dinner (on top of your order)

Giovanni's Table - Italian Restaurant
This is a Casual Italian Trattoria and has indoor and outdoor seating available. Great place for  Pastas, meat dishes, stews and toasted herb foccacias.

Samba Grill
Featuring a variety of meats and Seafoods which are carved at your table side from the Skewer. This is Churrascaria with Personality and flair! A wide selection of Soups, Salads and
appetisers are available from the buffet also. This restaurant operates with a "traffic Light" system - simply turn the light on your table Green to advise the waiter to come and carve you more meat or turn it Red to let them know you are full or having a rest!
Cost per person : USD $25.00 for dinner.

Reservations at this restaurant are highly recommended to take advantage of this dining opportunity.

Rita's Cantina - Mexican-fare favourites

caters to families by day and adults by night.

Join up to 14 guests in an exclusive dining room for a once in a lifetime dining experience. You will enjoy a 5 course gourmet menu specially prepared and presented by your own chef. Every course is paired with a wine match to enhance the enjoyment of the dish. The cost to enjoy the same experience at a land based restaurant would be over $200.00 and you experience this for a fraction of the cost.
Cost per person :  USD $95.00 

Royal Caribbean also have some fantastic dining packages that you can pre book through the Cruise Personaliser that gives you a selection of the above specialty restaurants at a reduced price.
