Brilliance of the Seas - Enough to do?

Recommended Posts

I am sailing on the Brilliance in December and doing the southern islands but I want to know if the ship has enough to do to keep me busy since I am doing a B2B (14 days).

 

I have done the Oasis class, Freedom class, Voyager class and I have been on the Jewel. I don't remember the activities on the Jewel because it's been a while since I sailed on that ship.

 

Can someone who has been on the Brilliance recently tell me if there are a lot of activities on the ship.

 

Thank you.

We've also been on Freedom class, Voyager class and Brilliance, and Brilliance definitely just seemed quieter. I was travelling with teens and it seemed like there were not as many food sources available at all hours like on the bigger ships.

^ Absolutely agree with marci22. Brilliance was definitely quieter and truth be told, we both missed the Royal Promenade. We had a 12 night Med cruise. Because it was so port-intensive, I appreciated the rest and relaxation the ship provided. LOVED with a great big overflowing love the outdoor aft seating in the Windjammer. We took all our dinners out there and watched the sunset every night. Glorious.

 

You've sailed Jewel so you're familiar. I think a ship is as "busy" or as quiet as you want it to be.

If Brilliance is taking over for Serenade and doing similar routes two thoughts come to mind...

 

1. Itineraries are very port intensive so daytime hours are readily filled ashore. The sea days (one for each route) have plenty to do (or not do).

 

2. Evenings always have plenty to do between shows, lounges, activities, casino, movies, self leveling pool tables and more.

 

Great point was made about outdoor area of Windjammer and there is also the popular Seaview Cafe that is unique to Radiance class (except Radiance now).
