Overall very good experience. Food quality was great, 6 of 8 shore excursions very good, and crew staff dedicated to quality service. Ships entertainment is weak and certainly below average for Royal Caribbean standards. The headliner acts were very disappointing this time. Ports of call were fine but we had three days at sea. Two back to back on return. Would like to have had fewer days at sea or spread out more.
Pass on Ravenna, Italy port of call or stay on ship. Very industrial port with little to do. Not too impressed with Venice, Italy either but may have been related to our excursion choice. Would have liked to spent these two ports of calll time in Kotor Montenegro and passed on Ravenna and Venice, Italy. Kotor Montenegro is truly the gem of this itenerary. Overall, prepare to walk lots and enjoy the beauty that is waiting for you!
Time to refurbish the Brilliance of the Seas!
