For an older ship the Brilliance was in good shape. Plus the staff was excellent.
We felt like RC put gave their best to a repositioning cruise. Entertainment and food was not sub par for this cruise, in fact it felt like it was increased for this cruise.
Embarkation was the smoothest in our 6 cruises. We took UBER from the hotel to the port. Seamless and saved money. People in the lobby were wondering how to get to port. UBER is the answer.
Great port - loved the shopping
It rained and walking to the tram to the top of the rock was long. Take a tourist taxi.
Stayed in the old city.
Tampa is a nice city - rented a car to go exploring .
