Just got home from 11 days on the Brilliance. Sure am hungry.

The ship and the cruise were terrific. The main thing I noticed on this cruise was the access to the ships officers. It seemed like we were always running into the captain or one of the other officers all over the ship. I have never seen them out and around that much.

I was prepared not to like the new menu in the Seaview Cafe, but I changed my mind. The pizza and panini sandwiches were very good.

They only had 2 formal nights on this cruise. Our waiter said they were getting complaints from people about not being prepared for the third one.

The Panama Canal was neat to see, but I would not want to go back to Panama. It was the trashiest place I ever saw anywhere in the Caribbean. There was litter and trash everywhere.

Embarkation and disembarkation went swift and smooth. Got to the pier about 10:45 and was on the ship within 30 minutes. Booked a tour at the end and was off the ship at 7:30.

If anyone has any questions let me know and I will try to answer them.

It's been a long day. Going to bed.
