hi all. This was a 10 day cruise from vancover to hawailli as she goes to the land of the aussie. a good mix of people and we all were looking forward to a cruise cruise to an amazing place. we arrived at the ship and were shocked at the state of the exterior of the ship, Rust, peeling paint around those once pretty blue window frames arouns the pool area. glass looked like it had not been ...

We choose this line because it goes through the Tracy Arm Fjords. I have to say after 36 cruises this is the most disappointing - the boat was dated and our room was not clean. We had to complain to the front desk and get them to clean again and still they missed cleaning the drawers and mirrors. The food was horrible in the dining room and buffet and only one of the specialty restaurants was ...

We chose the ship because we had friends in Sitka and wanted to visit them and wanted to leave from Vancouver where we also looked forward to meeting old cruising friends. We were 4, Dad, son and two faughters, all Seniors but all Diamond on RCL. I was in a wheelchair for getting on and off and for longer on board ventures. We booked a 2 bedroom Grand Suite because it met our needs for separate ...

We wanted to sail to Alaska with family living near Vancouver, so we chose the Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Sea cruise from Vancouver to Sitka, Juneau, Skagway and Haines. The itinerary was fine, but RC’s processes and crew downsizing caused some real problems. The first issue was the process for departure from Vancouver. The embarkation process was a nightmare, with numerous personnel ...

We chose this cruise over a year ago because of the amazing deal. We were initially booked on Enchantment but RCCL moved that ship and substituted Brilliance of the Seas which we were thrilled with! Our trip began at the Port of Vancouver and I suggest to just pack your patience and breathe when you are boarding there. If you have ever been to the Port of Miami you will know what to do, lol. ...

The food was terrible. Rotten fruit on the buffet daily. Dining room food was subpar: flavorless, overcooked, mass-produced garbage. Windjammer was marginally better. Even the pizza was bad. Cutting off food service from 3pm-6pm was awful. Nothing to eat after 10pm. Awful. Ship spaces are old and tired. Cabins have only two plugs, no usb chargers. No plugs near the bed. No extra bedding was a ...

We recently sailed on the Brilliance of the Seas to Alaska and it was the perfect size for the journey. There were so many Windows everywhere that no matter where you go you won't miss any of the amazing views. The ship is older though and in serious need of a refresh. Our cabin had a cracked sink and a large tear in the curtain. All of the furniture was warn out and the bed was ...

A complete review of 7n Alaska on Brilliance of the Seas. We had 3 staterooms and 8 people total for a 7 N cruise from Vancouver. The trip itself was great, but the cruise experience was sub par. The Ship Let’s be honest: The last time this ship was refurbished was a decade ago. It’s clean(ish) but in desperate need of an overhaul. There are only 4 outlets in a stateroom and 2 of those ...

I had a good trip on Brilliance of the Seas! I chose it because i had future cruise credits but also as i've been on an alaskan cruise before and wanted to go on different ports. This cruise went to hubbard, tracy arm and sitka which i haven't been too before. It was good we went to 2 glaciers as hubbard was foggy and rainy. However, tracy arm was great as we got into 1/2 a mile of it. I liked my ...
