Brilliance of the Seas Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise because of the price (based on the dates), and the location of the port being in Tampa. We live in Tampa so it made it easier to leave. We brought our four kids, ages 11, 10, 5, and 2. Our kids loved the Adventure Ocean program. They wanted to go every time it was open and always wanted to stay longer when we had to pick them up.
Our two year old didn't not have a "free" kids program but they offered child care that was $6 per hour during the day and $8 per hour in the evening. We took advantage of that one evening during dinner and honestly, we should have done it every night. They were great and she loved it. Dinner would have been way more relaxing and we would have only needed it for 2 hours a night.
We ate dinner during the first seating and thats important to do if your kids want to go in the program at night which was from 7-10. If you do the later seating, they will miss it.
Cabin Review
Large Ocean View Stateroom
The cabin was great. The ocean view window was huge and the kids loved it! It was pretty tight for 4 people, but definitely doable. The room where we had to put the crib was tighter because the bed was in the middle of the floor. It would have been helpful to remove the couch and table to give us more room. The room with the two pullman beds was the same size but had more room since the crib wasn't in there.
