Brilliance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Wonderful 5 night cruise, clean ship, easy to navigate, fun activities, good food, excellent bartenders! We will be doing this one again.

We took first time family and got them to cruise again.

The only bad thing to say was it wasnt long enough. Itiniary was great. So much to do. Ship was clean. Service was Outstanding! We will return to this ship soon. And Tampa is easy ( and affordable) to get to. You will not be disappointed on this ship.

Some of the photos are from a cruise with the kids to the same destination.The experience on both cruises was great -from food to service to shore experience.Great memories to be made on this ships!

I have been on a lot of RCCL ships and this was my favorite

Look, it was a cruise with friends, we had a great time. Our experience however has made it clear that we will think long and hard before ever cruising with royal Caribbean again. I'd recommend you look elsewhere.

Overall this was a good little trip. She is clean and staff is willing to help with everything if smaller ships are your thing this is the ship for you. But beware if you Are prone to motion sickness don't take it unless you have pills. Glad we had some for my wife.

This is the second half of my original review. Left Cozumel, where we stayed at the best kept secret on the island. We booked it on shoreExcursioneer.com. Its called Break at Del Mar Latino. If you want relaxation with no kids, can't beat this place. It's within walking distance from the International pier. Private pool, great snacking type foods and all you can drink for $40 p/p. You can snorkel in their private area. The rest of our cruise back to Tampa was fantastic. We were even included in one of their shows called "love and marriage" which was a blast. We'll be sailing on RC again as we had a great time.

Was on a better cruise last year on the Rhapsody of the Seas. Much better than this ship. They need to upgrade son thing on the Brilliance.

First time cruising with our adult children and their wives. Great time had by all. Duration and ports of call determined selection of cruise. I wish the ship could have been larger with more amenities and activities especially since it included two days of sailing.

Felt comfortable and well looked after by the crew.

Great girls trip on Brilliance of the Seas! Ports were beautiful to visit. Ship had great service. Enjoyed our 5 days aboard!

We love Key West and wanted to try Cococay. If we do try Royal again it would be one of the larger ships. No need to every visit Nassau again.

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

AWESOME and the BEST cruise we have been on. Joleneann and Hermat were the best severs in the main dining room. Windjammer fried fish was the bomb! The best tartar sauce as well. We hit a pretty bad storm Saturday night February 2nd but the captain was absolutely great. Don't care to ever go back into Cozumel. We will just remain on the ship next time. Our suite was great but I did think the balcony was a bit small for a suite. Cruise director was a riot especially during the belly flop competition. I am a runner and the track was just ok for running. The Harmony in my opinion has the best running track. On the Brilliance, they should really keep lounge chairs to one side of the running track instead of both sides. Difficult to maneuver around some folks lounging while on my run. Boarding and disembarking was quite smooth. This is by far our most favorite ship! Perfect size for us. The Harmony was only impressive by size. Service on the Harmony couldn't even come close to the superb service we received on the Brilliance. Stinks that the Brilliance is only here a few short months. Already booked our suite for next January. We are hoping it will be a bit warmer next year. We wore our winter coats the entire trip. We live in Florida so anything below 75 is cold for us. Anyone cruising on this ship is in for a real treat. Have a FABULOUS time and Enjoy everyone!

We took the Brilliance of the sea out for a test cruise , to see how it is and get a feel for the ship . It was a great experience to get ready for the reposition cruise in May 2020

Went with a larger tour group which was the main purpose of the cruise. Was my first Royal cruise and I think I'll pick a larger ship if I go on Royal again--realized that the smaller ships are not necessarily what I would want. Overall, the cruise was great and the ship was a nice one.

Great service from staff. Excellent food options. Decent entertainment for adults and children. Older ship so be prepared for some wear and tear. Overall a good choice.

We live nearby and did a quick 5-day getaway. We enjoyed ourselves and would do it again...Brilliance isa nice ship with lots to offer and the experience was overall great.

All and all, perfect ship for me as far as size and number of people. Felt very intimate with my vacation and didn't feel overwhelmed or lost!
