Review summary

Best part of the cruise was the dining and beauty of the ship. Found the service in the main dining room to be outstanding. Also pleased with the service in the Windjammer Cafe. The main pool area on the Brilliance of the Seas is too small to host the many events scheduled for the final day ... made for very crowded conditions. Liked the idea of music on the main floor of the ship that all floors can look down upon. Thought that Vintages wine bar was elegant with the special touch of a cheese plate for each customer. Also liked the layout of the Schooner Bar.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Daria and Tadek were our servers for dinner every night and they were outstanding. They made the cruise for us.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Little imagination from one cruise to another .... same old same old activities ... sexiest man, officers vs passengers volleyball, etc. etc. Main pool area too small and crowded for last day's events.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Very average. The achepelo singers were great, as was the Bulgarian father and daughter duo (singer). Russian? pianist was great as well. The main stage entertainment in the Pacific Theatre was so-so.

Children's Programs

Did not have children with us. No comment to offer.
