Once on the ship... AWESOME by videotim

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

Incredible scenery and great food and beer at the different ports. Getting through the airport and port in Vancouver tested every once of patience due to log jam of people through customs and security.

The best way to experience Alaska. by bradchambers

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

The cruise was exceptional with highlights being our wait staff and stateroom attendant, the singers and dancers, the performers in the Schooner Lounge, the cruise director and assistant cruise director, and of course, experiencing Alaska.

So happy for the earliest cruise of the year by JRLaGrange70

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

Be careful buying jewelry. White quartz with gold vein is very pretty but may actually be 'synthetic' quartz with gold vein injected.

Disappointing by Monica2012

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

Extremely disappointing, people said not to just Royal Caribbean on this one cruise but it was kind of hard not to. We will definitely go back to Princess cruises.

Okay by darrilynnkam

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

The cruise was okay. The ship didn't have a lot of activities that I was interested in. The food was okay, but there were a lot of additional charges for food, activities, and services. The ship looked dated.

Minimum ship entertainment & disappointing excursions by mcdan4

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

Ship overall was clean; crew was remarkable, attentive & professional. Cartegena, Columbia - our excursion- tour guide was more interested in taking us to his friends who had shops. The locals pushing their wares were incredibly relentless & in your face. Our stop in Costa Rica was also disappointing. Our port was Puntarenas which appeared to be very depressed. We thought our bus tour would be stopping at cashew and mango plantations but the guide just pointed to them out the window. He also mentioned we were on the desert side. The lush tropical area was on the southwest side of Costa Rica.

Fantastic, wonderful crew made this the trip of a lifetime! by kljoslin

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

On a 14 day cruise like this, there are lots of days at sea. That being said, the crew can make or break your cruise. This crew was absolutely top notch from the captain to the folks cleaning the restrooms. We had never seen such a well performing team before this!

Saw parts of the world, animals, and nature that I have never seen before. The Panama Canal was a bucket list item fulfilled! Great relaxing time onboard the ship... my first 2 week cruise!

Great Cruise by SB2023

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

We had a great time on our cruise. The staff was wonderful. We had only 1 problem and that was a leak in the plumbing outside our room causing water to leak into our room. The carpet was saturated. The staff addressed it right away upon our noticing. However, after it was fixed and the carpet dried our room stunk like musty carpet and sewage.

Time to Spend Some Money by exfire

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

We have sailed Brilliance 3 times over the years and it is sad to see how it has been neglected in some ways. The food was hit and miss in the dining room. Small portions of vegetables and very thin cuts of meat. Dining used to be a very pleasant experience on the Brilliance. Not any more. The specialty restaurants, Chops and Giovanni's were better but even they have lost their edge as far as top quality.

Excellent by Tiffanyk1922

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas

This was my first 5 day cruise and definitely no regrets. I had a great time, the staff was extremely helpful in all areas, a variety of activities that did not overlap each other and they catered to everyone’s dietary needs.
