First a little about us, this was our 11th cruise but only 2nd on RCCL, also our first Radiance class ship. This was our longest cruise and definitely our best cruise!

There has been a lot of recent reviews for the Brilliance so I won't bore you will all the details. The ship is magnificent and would definitely sail her again. All the glass and the dramatic atrium are stunning.

Pre-cruise in Miami-Stayed at the Holiday Inn Port of Miami, the convenience of this hotel is a major part of our choice. The hotel was clean, and nice and we had a view of the port area. After checking in we met some new friends from the roll call and went on the Island Queen boat tour out of Bayside Marketplace. The tour was very nice and we saw some magnificent homes and we even saw Tiger Woods yacht.
