Brilliance 10/4-10/11 - somewhat live maybe

Leaving for Boston Saturday morning, sailing Sunday afternoon. I'm hoping to do some Periscoping (@slaabs) and use cell phone service to post photos here. This will be my first attempt at doing anything live so if things don't work out I will definitely post photos/review here when I get back. We will be doing the New England route (Portland, Bar Harbor, New Brunswick, and Halifax).

We're on Brilliance in December, so I'm looking forward to this. Thanks.:)

Will be following, looking forward to hearing about both the ship and the ports, thank you!

Staying at the seaport Boston hotel pre cruise.

Following, Sheila, as we are on the same cruise on the 18th. Have fun !!!!

Linda

We are on the next cruise so very interested in your review:)

We'll be getting on Brilliance 10/11. Also staying at the Seaport pre-cruise, thanks for sharing!

Not sure if it was because it's Saturday or due to something else, but restaurants around hotel were very crowded. I opted for room service and had a very good lobster roll.

Here are some photos from my morning walk. Will be heading to the ship in another hour or so.

I love live reviews! Thanks for all the photos, following along.

I am getting excited and nervous for our trip on the 11th. The last time we were on the Brilliance was in 2010 when we hit a storm in the Mediterranean. We have not seen the ship since they repaired it. At least I know it can handle a storm.:confused: I look forward to hearing all about the ship. We thought she was beautiful and hope it is all back together. I am especially interested in what kind of music is on board. We love to listen to groups and dance.

Great pictures! What time did you board?

Great pictures! What time did you board?

It was around 11:30, maybe a little after. Cabins were ready a little after 1:00 (published time was 1:30).

Having trouble getting Periscope to work, but will keep posting photos here when I can. Here are some photos from just walking around the ship.

This is my ocean view cabin, currently a luggage loading area view cabin.

Note self, periscoping drains battery. I didn't take any sailway photos on my phone due to dead battery. I'll have to post the ones from my camera later. In Portland today. I am up early to watch our arrival. Lighthouse on port side, sunrise on starboard. Here are some early morning ship photos.
