Long awaited trip for two 69 year old cruise folks. After driving from Eastern TN for a overnight stay at Vero Beach FL Resort, we had a relaxing drive to the port of Miami. We we parked at a local lot that shuttled us to the ship. Check IN at the Royal Caribbean terminal was very fast and we were on board by 11 AM. Waited at the pool for our room to be ready while the food crowd lined up to eat ...

My husband and I are both seniors who have cruised over 40 times since 1990. The Brilliance was our 24th cruise on RCI. We flew into MIA the night before and arrived at the pier the next day about 11:30 A.M. As Diamond Club members we assumed we would be among the first to check in but this was far from being the case. The line for Platinum/Diamond/Suites was much longer than the line for Deck 8 ...

We sailed on a 12 day Med cruise on the Brilliance in May 2006. When the opportunity came along to book a post New Years 9 night cruise with a 55+ discount for and inside cabin I cancelled any plans to do a New Years cruise. In addition I use the Royal Caribbean credit card and had built up $550 in credits to apply to the cruise. We already planned to visit relatives in Florida for Christmas so we ...

ROYAL CARIBBEAN'S BRILLIANCE of the SEAS Itinerary: Miami, Labadee, Curacao, Aruba, Panama Canal, Columbia, Miami. Day 1: Depart Miami Departure We arrived at Miami airport, a gleaming new facility, at 9:45. We had pre-arranged for Royal Caribbean's transfer to the port. This proved to be an unnecessary ordeal of waiting in a long line to have one overwhelmed person verify our transfer ...

EMBARKATION: We are Senior Citizens and have been on HAL several times and Celebrity once. This was our first trip with RCCL. We usually book our own air transportation but this time booked it through the cruise line. We had a 10am flight from PHL on Dec 21 and arrived in MIA at 1:30pm along with several other families, and were met at baggage pickup by the cruise line rep. We then sat on a bus ...

Our cruise was from Jan. 22 through Feb.2, 2007. I found it the most enjoyable cruise that I have ever been on, we hope to be able to sail on the Brilliance of the Seas soon. The embarkation was among the easiest and fastest that I have experienced. Our luggage was in our room within and hour of our checkin. Our stateroom attendant, Jack Andrew was great! He was helpful when we needed ...

The Brilliance is living up to her name! She is truly beautiful and well laid out for easy access getting around the ship. We sailed on Jan. 2, 2006, to Panama Canal, Costa Rica, Aruba, Curacao and Labadee. Only one problem - dress code. Three different places they had different information. Brochure and phone call to RCL told us two formal nights, four elegant casual and the rest was casual. ...

Embarkation was quick and easy. The ship was extremely clean but it had a sewage odor for the entire 10 day cruise. Staff was extremely friendly, and cruise staff led by Becky and supported by Fang, was fantastic. The room stewards all friendly and accommodating specifically Denise on Deck 10 and Cox on deck 9. They actually disassembled a couch, removed the door, and replaced the couch with a bed ...

With great anticipation March 7th finally arrived and we were ready to board our cruise. It seemed that we had waited for years. We were a party of four -- I'm 47, my partner is 41 and our two girls 10 1/2 and almost 4. Some of the things we were really looking forward to were our cabin (hump), the boat itself (had seen many many pictures), eating in the dining room, meeting the many people we had ...
