Review summary

A great vacation on a small but big enough Brilliance of the Seas. We love this ship. Service and food gets 5 stars. There was only one thing that was off. The rude and arrogant Next cruise sales person. We wanted to book a $6500 Iceland cruise and she treated us like s..t. We booked it with our agent now. But Royal Caribbean should think about what people are representing their business. Otherwise we loved our staff and the always amazing food. It couldn’t have been better.

Front desk and excursion desk so kind and accommodating.Next Cruise was rude and arrogant. We wanted to book Iceland cruise. My questions were brushed of with rude comments. Why in the world would they let a bitch like this work in the sales department? We are 62 and 63 years old. Some kindness would have been appreciated. We booked the $6500 Iceland cruise with another agent at home. That was one awful experience with Next Cruise
