Review summary

We found the Brilliance of the Seas to be a very comfortable and well kept ship which was also easy to find your way around without getting lost.

Food options were excellent and well prepared and served. Sometimes the tables in the buffet areas were not cleared as quickly as the could have and you had to search for a clean table.

Entertainment was first rate and the cruise staff were excellent from the cruise director down.

All in all would recommend this cruise and this ship as excellent value for money

I always like to eat in the MDR for dinner. I like being served. But, on a night when I get home late from a shore excursion, just knowing that the buffet is available relieves the stress of trying to make it back on time for dinner.
