We had a great time sailing on Brilliance. We will think twice about sailing in January again. The weather was a tad on the cold side for my family. There could have been more activities during the day during sea days
Pros: Great service, clean ship
Cons: Less to do on this size ship. Weather was a little cold for me for a Caribbean cruise

We were looking for sunshine, service, and serenity and found all three on RCI's Brilliance of the Seas! We cruised to Grand Cayman and Cozumel and found plenty of sunshine to kick out the winter doldrums. The service was better than we could have imagined as the staff made us feel as though we were royalty from boarding to disembarking. While the ship was full of fun activities throughout the day and night, we found serenity on Deck 12 as we laid back to read a couple of good books while watching the Gulf waves dancing and the sea breeze lulling us into a relaxed feeling. What a dreamy, fun-filled experience!
Pros: Every aspect of this cruise was exceptional!
Cons:

Good experience in general on ship but couple small issues not worth mention. Poor elevators "Floor Indicator" special at the center main group of 6 elevators. Floor Indicators were hidden at the top of elevator, if we stood at one side, we could only see 2 or 3 not the other on the other side. Once I pushed up or down, always led up at the far end. When we ran over, the elevator was gone. For walking slow older passengers (not only me and my wife) on the ship, average waiting time was over 4-5 minutes during all sailing days. Many times, we had to get in any elevator just to be on it and riding up then down to our designated floor.
Pros: Great entertainment and services
Cons: No coin laundry machine on ship

We had been saving (originally) for Hawaii but realized (due to mobility issues) that the $$ would be used elsewhere. Having never taken a cruise, this won out from the All inclusive idea. There is plenty to do on the ship so the Port of Call stops are just an added bonus! I am on day 2 of my return to reality and being someone that is very involved in serving others, I can say that I really felt blessed with the meals and the service of each and every employee. Fantastic food and fun!
Pros: The staff on this ship can be rated 200% for their level of Customer service~
Cons: Need more pools!

I really like cruising and would book this ship again tomorrow if the itinerary was what I wanted. But, it does need some work. That said, the crew is great and so is the food. I think the shows were better then my last cruise on another line, but that is subjective. I usually prefer the on board singers and dancers over the performers brought on board, but this time we had a group called "Rookie" that was great. As to value, you can't beat a cruise when it comes to cost. We really took this cruise because we wanted to visit Key West. We did buy vanilla for a friend in Cozumel. (Mexican vanilla is special Who knew, apparently my friend who likes to bake.)
Pros: Great crew, food, shows. quality all the way.
Cons: The ship could use a refit and general inspection.
