Brilliance of the Seas Tips

Go to the solarium for lunch (excellent). Go to the solarium late for a swim and Jacuzzi, it's very relaxing and a good way the prepare for sleep.

Lounge above the library is an undocumented, comfortable hot-spot for wifi. The solarium is also a hot spot, but watch the cushions in the solarium if you sit on them in dry clothing -- they look dry even when wet.

Loved the solarium for evening relaxation and a snack.

Make sure to make it to the Helicopter pad on deck 6 during sunset to take some unforgettable pictures.

Definitely book your My Time dining reservations early and ask for the same table/wait staff each night. It makes the cruise so much more memorable!

7th floor aft has the largest balconies. Rom for 2 lounge chairs - a table and 2 chairs - great for room service dining.

The solarium was awesome. We spent a lot of time there.

If you're celebrating an occasion on board make sure to dine in one of the specialty restaurants on board for a meal to remember!

Great nightly dinner in the Minstrel Dining Room! Loved the Broadway show!

If you want a drink at the lobby bar you have to get there as soon as it opens. Always packed.

Have room service for breakfast. It is very relaxing

Buy the bottle of wine at dinner (if you drink wine) instead of paying $9 a glass. They will hold the bottle from night to night.

I wish I had brought a card holder to put around my neck to keep my royal Caribbean card in- you use the card for a key and to buy drinks on board.

The card room is very nice on this ship. Lots of games available.

Lunch in the dining room is a much better exeprience than scrabbling for food in the Windjammer at lunch time.

Dining room breakfast is "fast" and very good.

British pub behind the casino is a great find. Wrap around bar in the schooner lounge is nice.

Park café very good upgrade

The Solarium had coffee and breakfast that was great, but most people did not know that until near the end of the cruse.

If the weather is going to be cold, don't get a balcony. An oceanview is all you need. I always get a balcony on Caribbean cruises.
