cruislovin Posted December 16, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If anyone out there is recently back from the 10 night Brilliance cruise from Miami to the Panama Canal, I can use some help. 1. How many formal nights are there and when are they? 2. Are there any other "theme" nights on this sailing, and when are they? 3. How are the shows, food, service, etc.? 4. Do you have any Cruise Compasses you can share on-line or email them to me? Any info you can provide will be appreciated! We are sailing in February 2005. Thanks! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isujim Posted December 20, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2004 cruislovin: I sailed in April on the 10 night Panama Canal........was also hoping someone with a later sailing would respond. You will have 2 formal nights, the first one is like the first or second sea day and the last one is towards the end of the cruise and I believe it is also a sea day. Brilliance is our favorite ship and you will love this cruise and the ship. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
