Aloha! Has anyone recently used the Hilo Hoppa on/off bus tour? Back in the day, Hillo Hatties had a bus that picked up from the pier and return with only a visit to the shopping plaza where the store was located. Are there any free shopping shuttles still? Does the Hoppa On Hoppa Off bus pick you up and drop you off at the pier itself.? I couldn't find any info on the site about this. The calendar did show that there were buses on cruise ship days. Hope that is still the case. Mahalo

Thank you all for your input.

Hello everyone, I hope someone can give me recent information on internet package choices on Brilliance of the Seas. I am booked in a Grand Suite to Alaska and am seeing on this site information that a WIFI package is sometimes included. Also, when I look into the available plan and buy ahead options, there is no option. Only the VOOM Surf and Stream package is available. I want only the basic and cheapest package. Thank you, all.

Am curious to know if Brilliance of the Sea would provide a fresh bouquet of flowers in the suites. Or even if the Crown and Anchor recognizes loyalty levels with flowers in the room? Could be an allergy issue? Saw there was bottled water and a fruit bowl. Looked at the Gift Shop online for purchases, no flowers to be had. I remember at one point seeing a flower cart onboard various ships for last minute corsages and boutonnieres on formal night! Have been known to come equipped with my own vase and flowers. This is a biggie for me. Thanks for all and any info.

Yikes, I remember when the library also had writing desks and a 'librarian' (staff member (from entertainment or ? taking on another role ) who would sign your book out. Probably Celebrity Century class ships... sigh.

Lol... sorry for the confusion. I also did see a passenger coming onboard at a port with a new purchase.. a drone. That was confiscated with the safety officer called up to oversee.

Power bars are a no-no.

With the paperwork in the cabin on first day, was there an introduction to the officers, etc. - captain, staff captain, etc.?

Gorgeous! Was this arrangement sent because of you being a Captains' Club loyalty member or are you in a suite ?

Hi Everyone, Has anyone done a to or from Hawaii cruise lately? Hoping that there are ambassadors onboard who oversee activities in the Hawaiian culture (hula, ukulele lessons, etc.). Thanks.

Hi Everyone, In the past, there have been passenger choirs on trips that were longer with many sea days and rehearsals were part of the entertainment program. We were lucky to have the music director Simon take this on. When the a capella groups were popular, one group even coordinated the choreography to Salve Regina from Sister Act. The entertainment staff have also organized this activity as well. Does anyone know if these have started up again or have been discontinued?

Once you submit your date preference and continue, what kind of cash are you actually paying out of your own pocket ? I take it this is for cruise only with no All Included?
