Video Screen Installation on Radiance of the Seas
One of the most visible projects that is part of the revitalization of Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas is the installation of the large poolside video screen. Retrofitting one of these on an existing ship is a major engineering feat. If you'll notice on Radiance, unlike other ships where the screen is affixed to a portion of the superstructure, Royal Caribbean has more or less built a stand for the screen on Radiance.
