Have travelled with RCI on numerous occasions and was on Brilliance in 2004. My trip was partly due to loving the ship and also taking my partner to destinations she had not been before. The staff were first class and the ship looked well, even after a re-fit some 3yrs ago, I felt at ease. Sadly the standards have slipped, dress code has dropped to new lows, if you expect no shorts, flip ...

After an uneventful trip from Manchester it was a smooth run to the ship and in spite trepidations about booking in we were on board eating our first meal by fifteen hundred. Unlike other cruise ships, we were lined up on the promenade deck like unruly school children while they did the muster. After re-arranging our cabin we soon unpacked and finished settling in. the passengers were a mixed ...

I’m sorry to say that the cruise experience on this last trip was not one of the worst that I have experienced; it was THE worst I have ever experienced. I will not be selecting Royal Caribbean for any future cruise vacation. - Food I have cruised on other cruise lines, and have never seen all of the food venues closed by 9:30PM. The only option for eating after 9:30PM was a small snack ...

This was our 3rd RCI cruise and our first since 2011. Sadly there were quite a few things that have changed since then. We booked this cruise through our TA in June 2015 with a UK All Inclusive Drinks & Gratuities Offer. Embarkation We arrived at the port in Barcelona just before 11am and were checked in and on board the ship within about 15 minutes! Everyone involved during this ...

Two years ago, I sailed on the Brilliance and had a wonderful time. This recent cruise was a big disappointment. The changes were quite noticeable and bad. The food was only mediocre with very few selections on the menu. The folks at "guest services" were rude, condescending and lied to us. The entertainment was very poor, as compared to two years ago. One of our expensive excursions was not as ...

This Brilliance of the Seas round trip from Barcelona made stops at Villefranche, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Venice (overnight), Zadar (Croatia) and Kotor (Montenegro). With 8 ports including Barcelona ...

I chose the Atlantic crossing to see if I would like being on the ship for that many days without a port call. I loved it. I did have early concerns because, being a fairly new cruiser, I unknowingly picked what was supposed to be a "not so good" location for an oceanview cabin. It was on deck 3 all the way at the front. However,it turned out to be just fine. Our cabin steward was fantastic ...

My 4th cruise with RC and first transatlantic.... I loved it! The room, the balcony, the staff service, friendliness and professionalism were all terrific. I thought room service, dining in the Windjammer and the Minstrel 4th floor and food was perfect! I never tried any of the specialty restaurants as I thoroughly enjoyed the dining room and the group of people I sat with. However, I would ...

took this cruise to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary. We had a oceanview cabin and regular dining (set time and table). We enjoy this opportunity to meet other guests and form friendships. Our waiter and asst. waiter were excellent. The entertainment was top notch and we enjoyed it very much. They offered many extra celebrations on this ship which made for a more exciting time. The ports were ...
