Just returned from the July 16th 2008 Brilliance of the Seas 12nt Venice sailing. Here are a few highlights, comments, and opinions. Tried to make this quick - it didn't work out too well.
General Items
Air: Traveled BOS -> BCN on our own on Iberia through Madrid. Nothing special, small seat pitch, limited entertainment, served a couple of meals each way, warm (too) climate. . . but got us to BCN and back on time. Price was right! I must say, Madrid is a very nice gateway to Europe and far easier to traverse than Heathrow. These flights were all through the new T4S terminal, so we did not have to change terminals which might explain the transition ease.
