Brilliance of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great cruise with a great itinerary. The ship is bright and open with wonderful views. The staff and crew are engaging. The food in the specialty restaurants is great, but you'll be fine with the complimentary options also.

Wonderful ports with lots of history. Great ship. Plenty to do in port

The cruise was very interesting and I would recommend it for anyone that can afford it. There's so much history to be discovered. This was my second Baltic cruise.

We were surprised at how smooth the seas were until the final day. TheNorth Sea lived up to its reputation during the final 24 hours of the cruise, but weather was fantastic the rest of the time. We didn’t need most of the clothes we packed in anticipation of the weather in port. Cold and windy at sea (more in line with what we expected).

This cruise far outweighed our expectations. It was one of the best ships that we have been on. The layout of the ship and the entertainment was excellent as was the food and service. The itinerary speaks for itself and was wonderful. Definitely would recommend this trip, cannot go wrong. The weather was great. One morning of rain in Copenhagen and if it rained again, it was at night when we were on the ship.

Royal Caribbean seems to lack a target audience and therefore tries to meet too many agendas. We enjoyed the mixture of nationalities and the itinerary was excellent. The cruise was great value if you don’t drink and don’t take the cruise tours.We had a great 2 day trip in St Petersburg externally organised at half the price.

Overall, it was an excellent cruise. Staff was helpful and plenty of activities going on all day so I was never bored. Thank you RCL for that!!! You make the cruise your own- rest and relax or jump in one activity to another (my preference). Only problem was no listening devices for one excursion and a guide who had the devises not spoke unclearly. Otherwise and fabulous experience.

More magical than I could’ve ever imagined! The crew was wonderful. Embarkation and debarkation were very organized.

We enjoyed our cruise. We had great weather and smooth seas. We went to a lot of museums and walked a lot. Definitely do a tour in Russia and the ones not through RCI are much less expensive. We used Alla tours. The food was so good in the main dining room that we only did 2 specialty restaurants. The entertainment was great as were the enrichment lectures.

I loved the Baltic states. I hope to go back someday. Just a few minor issues with the cruise itself. Whoever was in charge of the cruise compasses was obviously recycling info from the previous cruise. Weather was waaaayyy wrong and some activities, ports, times were incorrect as well. It was frustrating at times. I also felt like they were VERY pushy about selling their dining experiences and spa treatments. I like the main dining room so I don’t do the specialty restaurants much, but we were approached no less than 20 times while dining or walking around the ship. Same thing with the spa. Maybe not quite as bad. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall I really enjoyed myself and look forward to cruising again.

Overall we had a good feeling About this trip, but in St Petersburg the crew make us shy over entering Russia . First can enter the passengers that had book the excursion by the Caraïben en after 10:30 the other passengers can enter Russia. For me was this a very negative experience.

Amsterdam was amazing! Arrived the last day of the tulips, so crowd was down a little.

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

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.

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!
