My husband and I, together with our friends, just returned from the 12 night Mediterranean Venice Cruise on the wonderful Brilliance of the Seas. The trip was to celebrate our 25th anniversary and we were not disappointed. This was our 5th cruise, but the first one to Europe.

We began our trip by flying into Barcelona the day before sailing and we stayed at the Hesperia Del Port Hotel close to the pier. Not first class accommodations, but clean and it was adequate for one night.

We took a van taxi from the hotel to the pier and the cost was approx. 35 Euros for the four of us and all of our luggage. When we arrived at the pier, check-in was fast and easy. We did on-line check in prior to leaving home to save time. Our cabins were ready as we came aboard and luggage was delivered quickly. We had a junior suite that was clean and spacious. Jose, our cabin stewart, was friendly and prompt when we called him. We had a problem with the safe in the cabin and Jose called and had the service man there within minutes. The battery was replaced on the safe and things were good to go.
