First time with RC as we have only done Carnival in the past. Wanted to see Alaska! State room nice with balcony. Ketchikan was canceled due to weather. Saw icy straits and Juneau. The food was so mediocre. But that was not all.. the Windjammer dining area was a free for all. No organization.. absolutely chaotic every meal. This whole shop lacked directiom and processes and that energy was ...

hi all. This was a 10 day cruise from vancover to hawailli as she goes to the land of the aussie. a good mix of people and we all were looking forward to a cruise cruise to an amazing place. we arrived at the ship and were shocked at the state of the exterior of the ship, Rust, peeling paint around those once pretty blue window frames arouns the pool area. glass looked like it had not been ...

We decided to take our adult children and our son's family on an Alaskan cruise to celebrate our 35th anniversary and a milestone birthday for my wife. Because our son has an almost 4 year old daughter, we decided on the Quantum because of the activities and kids program. The first disappointment came with removing Skagway and replacing it with Icy Point. When our cabins were assigned, we ...

Alaska is Alaska, its stunning, even on sea days but RCs constant nickel and diming its starting to show. Ship very modern and clean, staff were amazing. Food continues to decline both in quality and variety. Skip the Windjammer, the same meals served day after day, cruise after cruise. New menus in MDR were ok but certainly less choice, food was warm but lacking in taste. Very odd ...

This was our 2nd time cruising RC and our first cruise to Alaska. We booked a little last minute after other summer vacation plans fell through. First, the pros: The ship is beautiful! We absolutely loved the public spaces and there seemed to be ample seating for the different shows and activities. My two teenagers loved the teen activities and participated in most of them. The 3 pools were ...

RC Cost-cutting is a joy killer

We wanted to sail to Alaska with family living near Vancouver, so we chose the Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Sea cruise from Vancouver to Sitka, Juneau, Skagway and Haines. The itinerary was fine, but RC’s processes and crew downsizing caused some real problems. The first issue was the process for departure from Vancouver. The embarkation process was a nightmare, with numerous personnel ...

We chose this cruise over a year ago because of the amazing deal. We were initially booked on Enchantment but RCCL moved that ship and substituted Brilliance of the Seas which we were thrilled with! Our trip began at the Port of Vancouver and I suggest to just pack your patience and breathe when you are boarding there. If you have ever been to the Port of Miami you will know what to do, lol. ...

Terrible

The food was terrible. Rotten fruit on the buffet daily. Dining room food was subpar: flavorless, overcooked, mass-produced garbage. Windjammer was marginally better. Even the pizza was bad. Cutting off food service from 3pm-6pm was awful. Nothing to eat after 10pm. Awful. Ship spaces are old and tired. Cabins have only two plugs, no usb chargers. No plugs near the bed. No extra bedding was a ...

Good Size Ship For Alaska

We recently sailed on the Brilliance of the Seas to Alaska and it was the perfect size for the journey. There were so many Windows everywhere that no matter where you go you won't miss any of the amazing views. The ship is older though and in serious need of a refresh. Our cabin had a cracked sink and a large tear in the curtain. All of the furniture was warn out and the bed was ...

Start with the Pros: Room attendants were great. If they had not said service was only once a day we would have not known. Now the cons: * Main dining - my time dining; 1st half of the trip we had bad service due too the servers having several large groups hogging all their attention. We asked for another table and got better service. * Chicken briani was horrible. The Naan was a ...
