Brilliance of the Seas 10/28-11/9/17

We enjoyed a great cruise of the Mediterranean. The crew was terrific, especially our steward, Thangela (Deck 8), and Manuel & Rong with Rama in the Minstrel dining room.

The food was mediocre, often lukewarm or cold, but service was perfect and they tried their best to correct any problem. Food in Windjammer was better actually, more selections.

The ship excursions were good, but we liked the private tours best for our group of 13 Sail-Mates.

The entertainment was enjoyable, we loved Soul Inspiration’s music in Centrum. Would have liked even more of them.

The Casino Royale was extremely! smokey! Could not even step in there or sit near an entrance.

Photos are way too expensive and difficult to locate. Once located, no way to keep them together until end of cruise. Would prefer to buy one CD of all pictures for a reasonable price ($99-149). Then could go through at leisure after returning home and use or print ourselves.

Captain Sig did a wonderful job of skirting some of the rough weather and handling a change of course for a medical emergency for a passenger. He still got us to all of our ports on time.

Overall, a fabulous experience, would do it again.

You can discard the pictures you don't like and ask the staff to hold the pictures (by cabin number) you are still considering. Add and subtract from them throughout the cruise and pay for what you want at the end. It's easy.

We tried to do all of that, the staff refused! So, We would put photos we found together in one spot, when they would NOT keep them . Later, they would have spread them out all over the place again. We are sure we never saw all our photos. We prefered the method on the Allure, with digital kiosks and a binder with our cabin # to keep all our photos together in one location. Easy to find and review.

RCI needs to improve this department, in our opinion.
