Brilliance of the Seas Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and pricing. Both of which, met our expectations and the cruise was great. It was a ship loaded with senior citizens, all of whom had a fun time for the 13 days.
The food was much better than average in both quality and quantity. All of the staff were exceptionally friendly and did all within their ability to keep the customers' very satisfied.
Things to keep in mind if the itinerary is in your future travel plans: at each port of call there are private tour operators who offer exceptional guided tours and pricing that are much reduced from shipboard excursions. Also, a private tour will circumvent the typical :"cattle call" and following guides who cannot be heard due to the large groups on ship excursions.
Cabin Review
Ocean View Balcony
The cabin was very comfortable and our attendant did a superb job throughout the entire cruise.
Port Reviews
Amsterdam
There is plenty to see and do in Amsterdam. Local transportation is easily accessible and can be used to get to almost any tourist attraction.
St. Peter Port (Guernsey)
Worst stop along our trip due to horrible tendering operation. Larger tenders should be contracted by the cruise line. Life boats cannot handle the crowds and cannot deal with sea conditions that might be slightly rough.
