Recently returned from our Canada/NE cruise on Brilliance of the Seas out of Boston. This was an anniversary cruise for my husband and I, both in our 40's, to have a relaxing trip without the kids. This was ideal for us as we are about 40min from Boston, so very easy on and off ship. Arriving at terminal in Boston and getting on was a breeze, arrived around 11 and were on the ship and exploring in no time. Beautiful ship, well maintained, great size I feel, haven't done one of the larger ships yet but the idea of cruising with 6000 passengers seems like it would be overwhelming. This cruise was clearly for the 65+ crowd and it showed in activities and entertainment offered. We were among the youngest on ship, but again made for a relaxing cruise.

CABIN

Our cabin, 7506, was great, nice and clean an our room steward Simon was very nice and always kept it clean. Bathroom was small and shower was tiny, not that I need a large shower but had a hard time shaving. It's a small circle shower area and was just enough for us, if you are a larger person you'll have a hard time. Bed was very comfortable, tons of storage for everything. Not too much noise from theatre below, sometimes could hear the music. Also, this cabin says it's an obstructed view, the only thing I could tell why it was because window is set back a bit further from the actual siding of the ship. No obstruction I could see. And on the map it looks like you're right next to a set of stairs, but it's crew stairs and we never heard anything from it.
