Limited due to the weather. by rhall1644

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Fairly cool and water was on the rough side. Could not get into the ports at the Bahamas due to the windy condition. I like to enjoy a nice cigar, but the areas where they were allowed was less than desirable. Ship most definitely needs a make over. Crew as usual was great.

RCL is sinking fast. by GreasyJon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Good for the price. No info given ahead of time for the Hemingway House, probably the only worthwhile attraction. The RCL App is terrible and inaccurate. Because of our cabin upgrade, it was much more pleasant than it might have been. Food was a disappointment, but it's obvious they're cutting all corners. The staff has gone way down to the cheapest they could find - and then a lack of training was apparent. I'll keep cruising, but gonna change lines. I'm an Emerald level with RCL and it got me a couple cookies and bottles of water. Yippee.

Relaxing and decadent by larayziegler

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

The perfect multi-generational vacation! We were each able to go at our own speed, seek out the experiences we were interested in, and come together again for meals and family time.

Could of been better by smooovemusic

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

This cruise could of been better. We were dissapointed that our Grand Cayman stop was cancelled. 4 days on the ship with one port of call wasn't satisfactory for us. Even though they gave us a ship credit, there wasn't enough to do. However, the food and staff were fantastic and our cabin was clean and comfy.

Mediocre by smcmillen126

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

This was our first experience sailing with Royal Carribean. We had sailed many times on another cruise line but wanted to give RC a chance. We were not impressed with the lack of communication from guest services. The furniture and decor is dated, the casino had an entire bank of machines turned off with buttons missing, like they used them as backup repair machines. The beds were uncomfortabled, our exterior patio window was dirty. Several items we pre-ordered for our room was never delivered, had to call multiple times to correct. A scheduled event was a no show, no one was advised it had been canceled, so we just sat there. Our room was supposed to have a drop down bunk, since my son's girlfriend was traveling with us, they ended up giving us a seperate room, our family was on two seperate floors for the entire trip. Due to fog our ship was delayed docking by 10 hours, so 7:30 a.m. ended up being a 6:30 p.m. disembarkment. We were required to leave our rooms early due to staff preparing for the next voyagers, there was so many families with children, seniors sitting in hallways. I wish it had been a better experience.

The staff was the best part! by DosAriesTn

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We have been on several cruise lines over the years and Royal Caribbean seems to stand above them all! The size of the ship, the routes that we took, and mostly, the staff made our experience wonderful and something to remember.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

For being our first cruise, we were very impressed with the cleanliness of the ship, Brilliance of the Seas, the staff were all amazing - never have been to a place where "all" the staff ALWAYS had a smile and were always very attentive!

This will be my first and last time on Royal caribbean cruise line for awhile. by Jamisha

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

I thought I paid for my gratuities upfront when I booked with a agent, so I ended up with gratuitie charges plus other things I brought duing the cruise such as drinks, wifi that did not work !, pictures, and arcade charges that resulted in a $600+ bill on my last day of the cruise. This cruise was definitely overpriced and not worth the money I spent on it.

Much needed Caribbean getaway by FloGrownPapa

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Port of Tampa is the best in Florida! On the Brilliance of the Seas you will be able to experience a lot of really nice amenities, design, art and features that simply are not possible on newer ships. This is my all time favorite ship as comfort and curiosity are actually afforded.

Rough start, Good finish! by dgreene191

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We got a late start due to fog and embarkation was a mess, but once aboard the crew made it easy to forget. The ship is clean and well maintained. Have fun, relax, and enjoy your cruise.

We always have fun on Royal sea days, and the excursions (through Royal and organized on our own) were memorable.
