Review summary

The Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas was beautiful. It is the second time I've been on that particular ship. The service was excellent. Our stateroom was on the bottom level, deck 2 but was probably the most convenient when it came to getting on and off of the ship at each port. There were plenty of lounges and bars to have a quiet conversation or party with new friends. The best part of the cruise experience was the service with regards to the waiter and his assistant at dinner and the statesroom person. They were terrific and willing to get us anything we needed.

Ports of call

Marseille (Provence), France

I took the city tour of Marseille. It was interesting and worth part of the morning. The afternoon was for eating and shopping. The shopping was wonderful.

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

5 out of 5
I loved St. Paul de Vence. Monaco was interesting but we didn't have much time at all to enjoy Monte Carlo. I would've loved to see Nice on foot but instead we received a one hour bus ride through the city.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
The Eternal City tour was excellent. We saw inside the Colosseum, the Vatican, Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel.
Don't Miss: Rome

Tunis, Tunisia
