Rare Alsmez Posted August 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hello Royal Enthusiasts! DH (44) and I (41) are experienced cruisers but generally choose 7+ night sailings on Celebrity Solstice class ships. Some friends from college have floated the idea of doing a 4-nighter on Brilliance in February, though, so we're doing some preliminary research to see what we might expect! When it's just the two of us, we choose longer sailings on X to avoid the party crowd and too many children, both of which I'm sure will be unavoidable on a short cruise over a holiday weekend. Is it likely that this will be nothing but a booze cruise? We will be with a group who likes to party, so at least that's something! For those who have cruised X Solstice class ships, how does Brilliance compare? I would appreciate any insight you can offer - thanks in advance for your responses!

Thorben-Hendrik Posted August 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2018 It is going to be Brilliance!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted August 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I do perfer the larger ships of rccl, but really enjoyed Brilliance when we did it two years ago. This ship does not have the stuff that children would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamTimeDining Posted September 8, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 8, 2018 We did a B2B on a 5 and 4 nighter on Brilliance this past Jan, night and day difference. The 4 night was on MLK weekend, very much a party booze cruise. Still manageable, but lots of first time cruisers! This can work to your advantage as they don't know how things work or tips/tricks!

fsuchick97 Posted September 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Our Thanksgiving cruise will be our first RC cruise so I can't speak about Brilliance, but I think it's what you make of it. We've always heard that carnival cruises are booze cruises, but my husband and i (mid 40s) and have been perfectly happy on those cruises. Granted, we don't tend to hang out in the pool area of the ship so that may be where the partying is, but weve enjoyed quiet evenings on deck, the piano bar, comedy shows, cruise activities without dealing with a lot of drunk antics. I think it's all what you make of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
