Embarkation

5 out of 5

1st time on Brillance but more than 10 rccl cruises. Ship unique in its own way. Perhaps not a lot of whistles, but plenty to keep you busy or relaxed depending on your wants and needs. Would definately do Brillance again. Love all the glass

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Interior Cabin on deck 9. Cabin 9001 all the way up on the bow. Typical cabin size but we spend very little time in cabin. We did hear some noize (perhaps anchor or chains banging against ship due to rolling seas) but tollerable. Otherwise clean and well kept by our cabin stewart Isaac.

Ship tip

Enjoy the ship. Adventure around. Lots of quite areas to relax both in andnout of sun.
