Sail Date: Dec 2009
Cabin: Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

I have always wanted to visit the Pyramids but had no inclination to visit Egypt - quite a task but Royal Carribean's creative itinerary allowed us just that.

This was the third time we had sailed on the Brilliance of The Seas and have never had any need to complain as service and quality are of the highest standard. I must say the ship is beginning to show slight signs of wear and tear but there were obvious signs of top quality maintenance being undertaken. The Solarium was being varnished during the night while we were on our cruise thus affording us the luxury of using the facility during the day but maintenance being scheduled so as to allow RCI's customers full use.

Unfortunately due to weather conditions we were unable to visit Palermo but the Captain and crew did their very best to keep the entertainment programme at the optimum so everyone had something to keep them occupied on the extra sea day. Of course if you wanted to relax and not participate in the extra activities the choice was yours.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D1

Bed linen was worn and on one occasion there was a very small hole in the sheet - felt this was an area which more money needs to be spent to ensure top quality linen.

Steward was very nice and helpful but never straightened the bottom sheet of the bed - if you like sleeping on creases fine - otherwise be prepared to straighten your own bed before you get in.

Soft furnishings have the look of being a bit well used - could do with a freshen up.

Small fridges need to be supplied and flat screen TV's should be the norm now. The small TV we had was perfectly adequate but a flat screen would have added to making this the 4star stateroom more like a 4 star stateroom.
