My husband and I are both seniors who have cruised over 40 times since 1990. The Brilliance was our 24th cruise on RCI. We flew into MIA the night before and arrived at the pier the next day about 11:30 A.M. As Diamond Club members we assumed we would be among the first to check in but this was far from being the case. The line for Platinum/Diamond/Suites was much longer than the line for Deck 8 ...
We sailed on a 12 day Med cruise on the Brilliance in May 2006. When the opportunity came along to book a post New Years 9 night cruise with a 55+ discount for and inside cabin I cancelled any plans to do a New Years cruise. In addition I use the Royal Caribbean credit card and had built up $550 in credits to apply to the cruise. We already planned to visit relatives in Florida for Christmas so we ...
This was our first cruise, but we have vacationed in the islands prior to this cruise. We are in our late 40s, and our winter vacation is our major trip annually. This was an extraordinary vacation in every sense of the word. The ship was just amazing, beautiful, spotlessly clean and while very large, never felt overwhelming. It was very easy to get around, and other than a couple of first day ...
We arrived at the docks at 11:00 a.m. and found the embarkation process to be smooth and quick. Filling out your info on the RCI web site has always been helpful.
Our room was ready promptly at 1:00 p.m. Our luggage arrived about 7:00 p.m. AND WE PROMPTLY UNPACKED.
Our cabin was always clean and the balcony was enjoyable. For those choosing a balcony be sure to stay away from the area on deck ...
Hello! It certainly took long enough to get around to writing a review! We took this 11-night Brilliance of the Seas cruise December 13-24, 2004. My husband John was 29 and I was 24 and we live in Williamsburg, Virginia. We are platinum Crown and Anchor members.
I should begin first by saying we are HUGE Royal Caribbean fans. We have cruised both Norwegian and Carnival and did not find the ...
My husband won a travel certificate through work. Initially, he wanted to use it to go WHITE-TAIL HUNTING in the northwest. I wanted to use it to go to a NASCAR night race. We compromised...& booked a cruise.
We have never been away from our kids for more than 4 nights so the 11-night cruise would be a test for all of us. The original itinerary had us stopping @ Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, ...

Miami We flew down to Miami Sunday afternoon, the day before the cruise as we always do. We had booked a room at the Hyatt. Very nice hotel, only a few blocks away from Bayside Marketplace, I doubt I will stay ...
We sailed on March 29, 2004 from Miami on an 11 night Ultimate Caribbean cruise.
Embarkation went very smoothly except for the change in the Labadee, Haiti port. Due to this there was some confusion about filling out the Bahamas immigration forms.
Our suite was on deck 10 so there was priority boarding for guests on that deck. The luggage was delivered to the cabin by 6:30pm. The suite was a ...
There's much to enjoy aboard Brilliance of the Seas: the amenities, the secret hideaways, other passengers, and the crew. Many have written about those things, but I want to look at a different set of issues that have special meaning to me.
I'm in my 50s, have a disability, and use a wheelchair full time. I travel with my fully able wife, who provides minimal assistance. I've been reluctant to ...
