Brilliance of the seas and the entire cruise was exceptional. This was our first cruise and was our honeymoon. It was a 11 night cruise with six stops. Both me and my wife were amazed at the size fo the ship. Flying into Miami from Texas, we were greated by RCI people who then transfered us to te ship on a tour bus. Our luggage was handled from the time we got off the plane until it ended up in the room. We had an inside room, knowing we were only going to spend limited time in the room.

As we began to explore the ship we only fell in love more and more with each other and the ship. We went to dinner at second seating which worked out great for two reasons. Coming back on board after shore excersions. we had time to go to the room and nap if we needed and then get dressed fro dinner, and going to thte late show gave us time to wind down after an eventful day. My wife loves braodway type shows and we had a great time with these shows.

The staff on baord was great and freindly. Our room was made up befroe we had a chance to walk down the hall. I think the room attendent waited in the closet for us to leave and then jumped out to make the room ready. The wait staff at dinner always had a smile on thier faces and always strived to make us happy.

We spent alot of time exploring the ship and my wife found the compas very helpfull. She would plan our day going from activity to activity. We met so many peopel and became know as the Honeymooners from Texas. At one night show I was even pulled on stage to participate in the show.

We took the pictures every night and were on the onboard cruise video however we did not buy it, we should have.

The islands were great and we found paridise.

Leaving the ship on the last daw was easly and we were off the ship and through customs in about 15 minutes.

We plan on meany more cruises through RCI.
