We decided to do a cruise on March 20th that was only for four days. My husband and myself with 10 other family members in our group. Arriving at Tampa port was very easy and within 45 minutes we were all on the ship enjoying a drink at the R Bar. At least six of us bought the premium drink package and all of us were glad that we did. It was nice to try different drinks and especially Martini's that the mixologist would make at the R bar. Owna is one of the bartenders at this bar and she is fantastic.
In the MDR, we really enjoyed our large table that we were all able to sit together and our waiter Joe always made us feel welcome. Our party was told every night what was the best things on the menu and our waiter was always right. We all enjoyed the food and service! If you don't like what you are eating just ask for something else, I did this one night and the waiter had no problem. One other night three of us order the Chop steak and it came the same time as everyone else's food. The Chop steak's were excellent!
We had a balcony cabin and I do have to say, it will be hard not to have any other kind of room. I loved having coffee from room service on the balcony. The Brilliance Room Service is one of the best we have experienced. They were always on time and always brought us exactly what we wanted.
