Brilliance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great Staff. Always attentive. whirlpools didn’t work and terrible entertainment.

Ship is older and needs some TLC! Food is gooD overall most staffdid a outstanding job

Overall, an enjoyable, relaxing cruise. We booked another one for next year.

I will start off by saying we had a great time. We are Platinum on Carnival and this was the first time we cruised on on RC. There are things that Carnival does better and things that RC does better, but overall, I would sail on RC again. I want to try a bigger ship with more to do and more eating options. I do not want to limit my only experience with RC to an smaller, older ship.

If you love sea days, this is the cruise to take. The ports were excellent too.

We selected this cruise because it originated in Florida, had a lot of at sea days and visited Ireland and Holland. Would highly recommend it. I should have packed more cool weather clothes. Living in Florida give one a distorted view of the weather! The first two days were warm, but then cooled off to 50-60's. Crossing was very smooth.

Everything was as expected. Great ship. Great food and staff

En general fue un Crucero muy bueno! En especial el Servicio al Cliente, excelente!!

Great service & friendly staff. However the cabin we upgraded to for 3 people was the same for 2. This was very disappointing & we felt as though we paid for something we did not get. It was very very uncomfortable for 3 adult ladies. No one person could move without all moving. Never again!

I enjoyed this experience very much. It was a sister's vacation with 3 other sisters. Two of us had never been on a cruise before. The staff was outstanding. Such hard workers (too hard). Food delicious. We enjoyed the live shows and saw two movies; played putt-putt. Too many people to even think about getting in either pool! Didn't even want too! But food and staff/accommodations were wonderful!

3rd time on this ship. Favorite. Planning another cruise soon.

The entire cruise was fantastic. There were plenty of activities throughout the ship at any time of the day/night. Everything was clean and nice. The food was fantastic. If you don’t find something you like, you just aren’t trying very hard. Obviously, the main pool area is crowded if you don’t get there early, but there are plenty of places on the ship you can chill and people watch. Overall, it was a great time!

The cruise itself was very nice. The room had lots of storage for an ocean view room. The bathroom was small but that's to be expected. The food was very good and the steaks in the specialty restaurants were excellent. There could've been more to do but I guess it's a matter of opinion, plus, this was one of the smaller ships so I didn't expect a whole load of things to do. What I didn't like is Royal Caribbean itself. On the first day the toilet in my bathroom stopped working. I called housekeeping who connected me to maintenance. They told me they didn't know how long it would take to fix the problem. Well that was at about 8pm. I wasn't feeling well so I had to throw up in a toilet I could flush. My husband and my son went out in the hall to find a bathroom that worked...everyone bathroom on the same LINE as mine was out, so the entire front of the ship was not working. The next morning at about 9am I went to the passenger services desk and they still didn't have an answer. There was no apology and no offer on how to make things better. All I was told was that it would be fixed as soon as possible. It was about 6pm when I went to my cabin to check and the toilet was working. No apologies, nothing to make it better. A simple on board credit doesn't cost the company anything and would have make a world of difference to me. Let's just say it left a real bad impression.

Brilliance Of The Seas Out Of Tampa Is My Favorite Cruise Ship Of All Hands Down! Could Not Be More Happy With All Areas Of This Ship. Going Out Of Tampa Is Great Also. Thanks You Brilliance Of The Seas Crew!

We sailed Brilliance of the Seas on Aprill 11-15 and it was great. Every single crew member was very helpful and simply fantastic. Although the ship is an older one, the atmosphere and energy was absolutely awesome. We will definitely be back on this ship.

Almost every part of this cruise was enjoyable, service was great, ship was clean. Great for a wknd get away. Ship is small, so I wouldnt recommend staying on for longer than 3 or 4 day. NOT for the out of towners, if you dont live in where the ship docked I wouldn't recommend taking this cruise. Take a longer cruise on a bigger ship, Not because of size but because of limited activities for only a 3 or 4 day cruise. ALSO .....Beware for the smell of smoke near casino! On a smaller ship its easier for smell to travel.

Don't bother with The Key purchase. Overall, the cruise was relaxing, the atmosphere was good. Smoke fumes got progressively worse each day.

Another Great cruise on Brilliance! Great ship to go out of TPA and make it under the skyway😜 Too bad she doesn’t come back till November, as the 4 & 5 night cruises out of TPA are Great

We loved this cruise and can't wait till our next cruise!

Great 4 day getaway on a beautiful ship! Brilliant!
