Hi

 

We have just booked to do the cruise:

 

Brilliance of the Seas, Dubia to Barcelona via Suez Canal, 19th April 2010

 

I wondered if there were any other guys due on board? We have done a few RCI cruises before - the latest was Baltimore to Tampa Nov 09 and had a fantastic Friends of Dorothy group.

 

We are from Devon in the UK and very much looking forward to our time onboard.

sorry to feel like I am spoiling it for you, but I found Brilliance of Seas to be the most boring ship afloat! Not on a par with the Explorer Class ships and Freedom class.

 

The only entertainment was ballroom dancing and the theatre shows were pre-dinner for late sitting dining 10 nights out of the 12. The only alternative was the same 2 deluded passneger karaoki queens that went from bar to bar to assault our eardrums.

 

If you can change ships to the larger vessels, I would try to do so asap.

Thanks for the response - my decision making process for a cruise is based on: itinerary-price-value for money initially. Having my last cruise on the Vision class and having been on Navigator twice before and (a bit true to life) size isn't everything. I note your other observations and these could be true to any RCI ship not just Brilliance and I prefer the second seating for dinner whatever ship, it gives you time to get dolled up, go to show, have a drink and relax a bit if you have been on shore.

 

The post was to gauge who was onboard - we will have a good cruise whatever.
