TIME FOR A LATITUDE ADJUSTMENT
If you’re looking for one-of-a-kind ways to experience distinct cultures, savour exotic flavours and soak up views that’ll give even the most seasoned travellers wanderlust, this is the cruise ship for you. Brilliance of the Seas® offers year-round adventures for every kind of explorer.
The ship is older and smaller, so I didn't expect the ship to have the amenities and activities of a newer, larger ship. The ship was overall in good shape for the age. The ship was clean, but shows some signs of age. Our stateroom was clean and in working order. The food was good, but sometimes lacked taste. The crew was helpful, and courteous. Our excursions exceeded our expectations. I would not have a problem booking another cruise on the Brilliance of the Seas. We returned to New Orleans on Saturday, the day before the Super Bowl thinking we would be stuck in traffic. However, the disembarkment was super smooth and we were able to leave New Orleans with ease. If you are going to cruise a ship that's older, smaller, leaving from a smaller port, don't set an unreasonable expectations. This my third cruise from New Orleans, all on three on older, smaller ships. I did my research, set a reasonable expectation and that made for a more pleasurable experience.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise! The crew on the Brilliance was fantastic, consistently going above and beyond to make our trip special. Dining was a highlight for us, with great meals and attentive service. Each evening, our server even brought us an extra dish or two for the table to share, most of the time suggesting the Indian/Curry dishes and if he or our assistant waiter noticed we didnt like a particular dish, they were quick to ask us if we wanted a replacement. While the weather was a bit chilly, it didn’t stop us from enjoying the indoor amenities, like the cozy lounges and engaging trivia games. That said, we’ll have to save the tanning for another cruise! It had been a long time since we cruised on an RCCL ship without a Royal Promenade, and we missed it more than we expected. The placement of Park Café in the Solarium felt a bit out of the way, and the pizza quality didn’t quite match what we’ve had on the larger ships. However, the ship’s layout still worked well for us, and we loved how easy it was to navigate. Looking ahead, we’d love to sail on the Brilliance again, but perhaps on an Alaskan itinerary or a Southern Caribbean cruise from Puerto Rico—both destinations we think would pair perfectly with this ship’s vibe. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this ship, especially if the itinerary is a good fit!
