Still on board the Brilliance making our way back to Tampa. This ship is fantastic! She is getting older but she is in perfect shape. This ship does not have all the fancy new things of her gigantic sisters, but what she lacks in fancy things, she makes up with outstanding service.
We had a balcony cabin and it was impeccable from day one. Everything worked and the state room attendant was on point all throughout the cruise.
We ate lunch at the Windjammer once and it was ok. (We are not buffet people so I don’t really have anything else to say about it. ). We took advantage of the Black Friday sale and purchased the ultimate dining package for the specialty restaurants. Upon embarkation we went to Izumi to look at the restaurant. It is tiny. We were not impressed with it so chose not to eat there. Chops and Giovanni’s were excellent. We had no problems getting any reservations at the times we wanted. We even requested the same server and had no issues with that.
