Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas finished a $19 million upgrade recently and the hard work to retrofit the vessel with new restaurants, cabins and other modern improvements are thanks to the workers of Victoria Shipyard in British Columbia, Canada.

The workforce received praise from the Royal Caribbean team tasked with overseeing the work on Radiance thanks to their hard work and diligence to keep the project finished on-time.

Thumping Canada's chest here, all the senior managers on this project were lavish in their praise of the Canadian workers. The captain, Claus Andersen, raved especially about the quality of the work being performed. That's high praise from a crew that works with shipyards around the world.

There's hope for the Victoria Shipyards that the fine job done with Radiance of the Seas will translate to getting a piece of the $35 billion earmarked for new and remodeled ships for the Canadian navy over the next few decades.

Radiance has begun a summer itinerary to Alaska now that she is out of dry dock.
