The Radiance Of Jewels and Cruise Ships

Jewel of the Seas

There's a countdown to the arrival of the Radiance of the Seas here in Tampa and excitement is building. The excitement, however, was mixed with mixed emotions last month when Royal Caribbean announced that the Radiance was here for only one Winter season before sailing down under to Australia. I wondered why just one season? What are we chopped liver?

Well, I'm happy again because while the Radiance is beautiful - she's not a Jewel. The even more beautiful Jewel of the Seas will be sailing from Tampa beginning in 2011. What a perfect place for the Jewel of the Seas because after all, Tampa has always been every pirate's treasure chest!
