Review for a South Pacific Cruise on Brilliance of the Seas
CarolineK
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
My husband and I sailed on what we call "the cruise to nowhere", being the 19 March 2024 Brilliance of the Seas "11 day "cruise to the South Pacific from Sydney, Australia
The cruise was meant to head to Lifou, Noumea, Mystery Island, Port Vila and Luganville for 11 days. In the end we only (just) got to Lifou - the other ports were cancelled and the cruise was cut short from 11 days to 8 days ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s
I had a great time on this cruise, I was a solo traveller and everyone was really nice and friendly. I'd recommend the solo traveller meet up held on the first few nights.
A few things I noticed tho.
The Evian water package that cost me AUD$40 (pre cruise discount) turned out to be cheap supermarket water that would cost AUD$10, see pic. There weren't water fountains to fill up water ...

Cogdoc
First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
The good:
We lucked out with the calmest seas in Feb cyclone season.
RC shore visits in Noumea, Mystery and Port Vila. Expensive but well run.
The insanely blue water of Mystery island.
The beauty of New Caledonia and Vanuatu itself.
Staring at the ocean ( an ocean view is a MUST!! )
Realising just how BIG the ocean really is.
Well appointed and liveable room.
Gym ...

This was my seventh cruise with Royal Caribbean (Second on Quantum) and I have cruised with three other lines so I could claim to be a seasoned cruiser to a degree.
First the good:
Great friendly cabin and waiter staff (with one exception). Junell and Eugene in the main dining room were excellent while supervisor Rolston was very competent. Edgar looked after our room very ...

We decided to travel to Brisbane to celebrate our anniversary on a cruise to the South Pacific, instead of our usual departure port of Sydney, as Ovation was headed to NZ.
This was our third Quantum class ship, and what a disappointment it was. The ship was overrun with unruly teenagers and their disinterested parents who did very little to control their offspring. Likely too busy ...

Background Information
This was a multigenerational cruise involving my elderly parents, 40ish sibling with partner and a teenager. I've done 5 previous cruises with Royal.
Travel To Port of Embarkation
We travelled to Sydney and each stayed at different hotels. I suggest booking one within walking distance to the terminal. There are plenty of choices in Circular Quay or The ...

We really just did this cruise to help us get to Diamond Plus, but would rather be cruising then sitting at home.
Ship hull looks bad, starting to look rusty and dirty, but inside ship is still good.
The entertainment was good especially the Freddie Mercury show, excellent. Seen most of the other shows before, but for first timers they are good. Noted no guest speaker this cruise, last ...

Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Brilliance of the Seas
Liz Muller
10+ Cruises • Age 60s
As we have previously cruised with Royal Caribbean on 8 previous occasions we decided to cruise with them once again. As we considered RC to be of a very high standard .. We chose a 9 night cruise to Adelaide and Melbourne as we wanted to visit Kangaroo Island and town of Hahndorf.
Brilliance of the Seas is an older type ship but very well maintained. Our expirations were high but only to be ...
