Review summary

Cruises nice, staff was great, it was a great short getaway but if you're able to go on is worth it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Being in a suite has a major perk of their own line that is much shorter.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Chops restaurant was great once again, and the main dining room food is ok but the staff tries very hard to make it a great experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
It was fun to learn napkin folding, win a cruise bingo is always worth a shot. The massage is expensive but was a nice break constantly walking around and was good as well.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The performers were good the one show that we watch was okay, one comedian we watched was okay and the 2nd was entertaining

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff is what really is the deciding factor of what makes your breaks your cruise. The stuff on this from the room steward to the wait staff to the entertainment staff we're very friendly and look like they were having a good time as well. They definitely need the short getaway a great getaway

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean, the design was a little bit off for the simple fact that you just had to keep going up to go down and go down to go up there was no straight walkways and then mean general areas of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was a great size, balcony was huge. Everything was nice and clean.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the Mexican cooking class and it was awesome I would highly advise this. This is my second time to Cozumel and the first time we did the tequila tasting Jose Cuervo experience. Neither one let us down and we're very entertaining and worth the time and money.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
There needs to be more signs and direction for where people can go. Since we were in a suite we were able to leave a different way but had no idea. We waited on the long regular line halfway through the line we finally asked someone means we saw people going a shorter Direction and we could have already been out of the building with the time that we spent on the regular line. They need to more organized. And have everything clearly marked

We are set to go on Brilliance of the seas the end of March. We wanted to go to Key West which is why we chose this ship. We were wondering if you felt much movement on this ship since it's a smaller ship. Thank you for any feedback you have.
