We had a fantastic cruise on Brillance of Seas. It was myself, husband and our 3 children (14,13 & 9)
We had two balcony connecting cabins. Room attendant good and kept rooms lovely.
The older kids didn't join the teen club (I really wish they had) but younger one we couldn't get out of the kids club, absolutely loved it and staff that work there are amazing.
Great cabin, it's classed as obstructed view but only if you look down as the life boats are below you but covered over. It really didn't impact on the view at all in my opinion.
Again we arrange our own excursion through Native Ways. We went to see Stingrays, coral and starfish. It was fantastic!!!!
We got the time wrong when we were meant to arrive (mix up with EST and island time, they want you to use EST and NOT ship time or island time, was a bit confusing for us as from UK too) but the gentleman that helped us at the port was so good. He got us into a taxi and off to the boat when he could of just told us 'your late to bad!'
The experience of swimming in the beautiful sea with the stingrays was the most amazing thing, out oldest son said it was the best day of his life!! They supply all snokerling equipment so you just need to bring yourself and a towel.
I would highly recommend this company and the trip it's self. First class.
Great embarkation and really quick was on ship within about 20 minutes after arriving
We did our own trip and caught a taxi to Paradise Beach. Can not recommend this place enough absolutely beautiful. Again great service. Drinks and food good too. It's $3 per person then you have to spend at least $10 pp on food and drink (easy to do) We had really good lunch that they bought to us on the beach.
We docked early so was able to get there by 9/9.30 when it was very quiet and loads of choice where to sit. Did get busy in the afternoon. We left at about 2 but could of stayed there longer if ship had stayed in port longer!!
