we are rc platinum members. i was a bit concerned about booking this cruise because my family prefers the smaller radiance class ship. let me tell you something...all my fears were unfounded. we were on the brilliance last december and with 1/2 the number of guests it felt more crowded than the indy. i never had to wait for elevators... i always found a sunbed and we always found a table in the windjammer....but enough about that.....

we arrived at the port at 11:30 and were onboard by noon. went 1st to chops and portofinos to confirm my online reservations and then off to the windjammer.....oh let me tell you that you never get over how gorgeous this ship is. we found overall that after 7 cruises this is our favorite ship and that includes crew. everyone couldn't be more helpful. we also felt that the food in the windjammer (which we felt was slipping on prior cruises)was outstanding.

as a group (8 of us 4 teens between us) we used everything onboard. the weather was stunning everyday except for puerto rico where it poured so we stayed onboard. in st. thomas we were going to go to EMERALD BEACH but we need some shade and with 5 ships in port that day our cab driver told us we'd be better on at SAPPHIRE BEACH. the truth... was not that impressed.
