Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted November 13, 2005 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2005 CSK, how I envy you! We did a ten-day Panama Canal cruise on Brilliance in April. I really came to love that ship. It was so comfortable and so elegant. I have so many happy memories of Brilliance and her sister ship, Jewel of the Seas. I'd gladly cruise on either one again. Have a great time.

MysticRhythmCruiser Posted November 13, 2005 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2005 When you disembark at the Miami cruise terminal, should you see a couple waiting to get on that are so happy they practically shine their own light, that would be us! We're on the 11/22 sailing as well... - What entertainment is on board and what do you think of it? - How is the Solarium? - Any activities that you think definitely should not be missed? Thanks and enjoy the rest of your trip! Cheers, Esther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csk Posted November 14, 2005 Author #13 Share Posted November 14, 2005 thanks everyone for the good wishes, not good with names, but our cd is Peter from London, he is very good and are enjoying him, not had a chance to do all the ship activities yet, very busy days in port for the first four days and then sea days, we are in cabin 9532, very nice cabin with good storage for the two of us, our cabin steward is Brenton from Jamicia very good and friendly and speaks good english. we love the ship she is beautiful, food very good, and lots of it. we have cybercabin with our laptop and so far so good as far as connections, is dial up but pretty fast. The solairum pool is very nice sunny place to read for go for a swim. the weather has been cool so the outside pool has been vacant, but think when we go across the weather should be warmer. very easy on in barcelona, used the sign and sail form on line, on ship by 11 am. Going into Libson, now , will post later if you have any specific questions, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocfromATL Posted November 14, 2005 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hello CSK, Can you let me know if a gentleman named Kampanokis is still the Maitre D on Brilliance. He gave me his contact information while my wife and I were on the cruise but, unfortunately, I lost it. If he is still on the cruise, ask him if it would be ok for him to give you his email address to me via private email when you get back. Remind him that I was his cigar supplier and sat at the captain's table with the Indian guys who wore the turbins during the Mediterranean cruise. Thanks so much.

Cruisin Princess Posted November 15, 2005 #16 Share Posted November 15, 2005 hope you're enjoying yourself!!! if you get to any of the bars, look for a bartender from jamaica named colin thompson (aka jackie chan) tell him jane from the enchantment says hello and ask him to make you a "special" margarita!!!

Rudydog Posted November 15, 2005 #18 Share Posted November 15, 2005 We just got home from the Oct. 30 sailing of the Brilliance and had a wonderful time. I think it's a beautiful, extremely clean ship. I wasn't too happy with the casino, but that was just bad luck. The food was much better than I expected, especially the desserts -- OMG!! They were incredible. The entertainment was usually very good, with just a couple of duds. It was such a port intensive itinerary, that we didn't take advantage of a lot of the activities that were offered on the ship, but I'd be happy to answer questions.
