A media release from the cruise line says Radiance hotel staff have been getting tips from sister ship Rhapsody of the Seas on how to Australianise the newcomer.

A shipboard executive is quoted as saying that Aussies will be delighted at how Radiance has been prepared for its first season here.

"We have struck a nice balance with the international influences that are signature to all Royal Caribbean cruises, and the local touches such as the traditional Aussie breakfast - Vegemite on toast".
