For the very first time EVER RC did not receive 5 stars from us. I'll get this issue out of the way first. The centrum is the main focal point on the Brilliance. There are many activities held there during the day The main activity at night is live bands and dancing. It has very limited seating on the 4th deck but addition seating is available on the upper decks where guest can watch the activities on the 4th deck. When the bands play it is packed with people enjoying the music and dancing. But on more than on accusation the entertainment was stopped for an activity/game. In the middle of the dance floor??? This did not go over well. People would arrive to find all the seats taken by those who were there for the music. Many people there for the music would leave or would have to sit and wait almost 2 hours until the music began again even if the activity only lasted about 1/2 hour. Even the once packed bar would empty out This interruption is extremely annoying. These activities/games could be held in one of the many other areas/bars without ruining the music/dance for those of us in the centrum, Because of the fact that the bar is also affect by the lack of guests during and after these activities, if has to be costing RC money due to reduced bar sales. Be prepared for some boring down time if this practice continues.
OK now for the good stuff. The cruise was terrific.
As usual embarkation went well. Very smooth. We use the valet service for parking. it's only a few dollars more but really makes a difference. We ran into a small problem in the Windjammer, that never happened before. For some reason when we arrived there were no plates and no silverware. There was also very limited seating. We were told it was due to the Windjammer opening 1/2 late. No problem we just dealt with it and had no other problem in the Windjammer during the cruise.
Lots of storage, clean and great staff as always.
easy on and off
great place to walk around and take in the sights, I also recommend going on ship sponsored tour if it is your first time in a port.
great beach and a fun place to shop. Hope you are good a haggling.
