Just returned from our spring crossing to Europe onboard the beautiful Brilliance Of The Seas. We started in Miami Apr 29th for our 13 night sailing to Barcelona with stops in Funchal(Madeira), Lisbon, Malaga and Villefranche.

- The Ship: The Brilliance just got out of dry dock the day prior to sailing and looked brand new inside. Everything was clean and was being kept that way. - Embarkation: Boarding process in Miami was a breeze despite a full ship. Took only appr. 25 minutes to be on the ship 8am 12:30h noon). Good work RCCL!

- Fellow Passengers: Good mixture of older an middle aged people on board (slightly older crowd than experienced on other cruises with RCCL though), almost no kids. Mostly Americans but also many Europeans, mostly British, Spanish, German and French. Read more
