Review summary

Loved one of the Windjammer staff, Gellie. She was so accommodating and so attitude was always very upbeat. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. She was a jewel!

Embarkation

No issues at all. Went very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was very good. Of course, some items better than others. We found that we could eat just as well in the Windjammer on nights that we did not particularly care for the menu.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Although we didn't participate in strenuous activities, there were quite a few other activities that kept us from getting bored.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The performers for the main stage show were great, very energetic, the dancers high energy level and the singers had great voices.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The service was very good. I wouldn't call it excellent but very good. They were able to provide anything that we requested.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Since the Brillance is much smaller than the Oasis type ships, it was very well decorated. I think the Centrum should have been a little larger. Some of the activities were way overcrowded and could not accommodate everyone. As far as cleanliness, this was excellent. The crews were always cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We loved the spacious room with the walk-in closet (which was the best asset). I did not like the bump outs above the balcony. It prevented you from looking up at the sky. So there were pros and cons.

Ship tip

If you want to attend an activity that is held in the Centrum, you must get there well before the event is scheduled in order to get a seat.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

Nice, close to Ybor City.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
OK. Been there many times. Get tired of the store owners constantly harping for us to go into their store.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Enjoy the massage. Very good price along with a good massage. Store owners were not as aggressive as in Cozumel.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No problems whatsoever.
