kalokincanadian1 Posted January 9, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I am also looking for the same information about the Brilliance cruise and side trips. I have a group of 6 of us going in March and would love to know more. I will look forward to seeing the replys. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappaSiera Posted January 9, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I was on the Brilliance with Rick and Denice. It was a 10 day sailing. Fantastice ship, all around. Rick has said more than once that it is their favorite ship. In Aruba, DW and I were scheduled to do a helicpoter tour we booked privately. Got confirmation emails and everything. but after about a mile walk to the helipad, were greeted by a sign sailing they were closed for "Scheduled" maintanence (so why the confirmed reservation?). We stoped in at the agency that runs the Atlantis sub tours and booked an ATV tour of the island. Turned out, it was just myself, DW and the tour guide. Had a GREAT time! At Panama, we took the Canal By Ferry tour. Very LONG tour, but I liked it. You get a very different perspective of the locks in this much smaller boat after going through the first set of locks on the Brilliance in the morning. In Costa Rica, we booked a private tour with Oscar Brown that included zip lining (FANTASTIC TIME!), a visit to a banana plantation (OK, but could have missed it, and a tour of the canal (again OK, but could have sh=kipped it as well). Then it was off to a beachside resteraunt for lunch (not included) then back to the ship. See the Costa Rica boards for info on Oscar and other venders. In Grand Cayman, we did the 2-man bubble sub. Very cool. Rick sent me copies of the compasses last week. Once I recieve them, I'll be scanning them and posting them. Watch my signature for the link. In the mean time, you can see my pictures by clicking the link in my signature. I am in the midst of organizing them, so only some of them are on the page referenced in the link. To see all of them, click on "Author's Homepage" button on the left, then look for the albums from Brilliance. Also, another CC member from our cruise has posted a review at this location.

GranysT Posted January 9, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Thanks PappaSiera,for your answers. We're not doing GC on our cruise,but I've been there twice. We're doing Labadee and Curacao,as well as Aruba,Costa,and the Canal. I've already booked: Railroad Dome Car-at the Canal Thriller Powerboat-at Labadee Willemstad Trolley-at Curacao Lets Go Latin Show-Aruba (its at night) probably go to Palm Beach during the day in Aruba Oscar Brown-at Costa There are about 22 of us,from our M&M doing this tour with Oscar. Should be a blast. Have any of you done any of these things? Seems like we'll certainly be kept busy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realtordebbie Posted January 17, 2006 #18 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Just off BOS on 1/13. It was the 11 night. If you have any questions let me know. I too have the Compasses just in case any changes have been made since the Dec. sailing. Heads up 3 formal, 1 smart casual and the rest casual. Going through the Panama Canal on the ship is incredilble. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
