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)
