Review summary

Nice ship for a short cruise. 50+ cruises to date on RCCL. The staff on the Brilliance are far better than other RCCL ships. Diamond, Concierge Lounge and Windjammer food not the best. Specialty Restaurants are the only way to dine. Food and service was superb and never crowded. Great flexibility on dining times.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very fast and efficient. Less than 10 minutes to board the ship.

Food and Dining

Purchased the Ultimate Dining Package that included dinner every night in the Specialty Restaurants and also lunches while at Sea. Food was OUTSTANDING and the SERVICE was even better.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

RCCL's orchestra and the strings was good. All other bands, DJ, guitar players and piano players/singers sucked.
