Review summary

I have taken 8 cruises on the Brilliance over the last 5 years. When I stepped on the ship I was greeted by name by the young fellow who was welcoming passengers as they boarded. He had been the waiter at our table in November. Impressive. The meals were excellent this cruise. Our waiter was very informative and the assistant waiter was very entertaining. Everything about the ship was great. The ports were a disappointment because of the weather. It was so foggy in the Azores that we could not see beyond the edges of the road. So we missed the blue and green lakes in the same crater. There was a storm that created such high seas that we could not visit Waterford or Dublin. We were able to visit Cork, but the wind was brutal. The Brilliance is one of the older ships in the fleet, but it was very clean. There were a few rust spots, but it is headed to dry dock where it will be sandblasted and painted. I’m anxious to see the ship later in the summer.

Actually Brilliance is a radiance class and not that old. Vision class and Voyager class is older as well as Majesty. The freedom class is newer with 3 ships, the Oasis class with 4 ships and now 3 quantum class. Many do not know that Radiance class is unique in that they are "greenest" ships in that it is only class powered by big jet turbines running on marine jet fuel powering two big generators that power ship.
