Brilliance of the Seas Review
Great people on a nice ship with some disappointing cash grabs

Additional details
We chose this cruise for the itinerary, in particular Venice.
Barcelona is a nice city and Familia Sagrada is especially impressive.
The ship is in quite nice condition especially given its age. The Centrum (what they call their main lobby) is quite impressive but too small with very difficult sitelines for the entertainment that is put on there. Disappointed there was no aerial show.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Obstructed view - the roof over the lifeboats kept you from looking straight down - no big deal so if you can save dollars with this room , take it.
Port Reviews
Villefranche
Enjoyable to be in Monaco during the Grand Prix
Florence (Livorno)
Went as part of a passenger arranged van trip to Pisa and Florence - excellent day
Rome (Civitavecchia)
Did not go ashore as we had been in Rome only a couple of years ago. Took theday to ret up after Florence/Pisa
Venice
Love Venice and arranged all our tours on our own.
Zadar
Really not worth making a port, nothing of note other than the Sea Organ
Kotor
Small, wall medieval town - cute, with the opportunity to hike up the mountain
