Brilliance 2004 to the Med-Have you been?are you going?

Those that have been on the Brilliance to the Med this year, what latest scoop can you give us? We're booked on the 9/23 Med cruise. Anyone else out ther searching for recent info??

Hi, we're on the same cruise, same M & M thread. I'm interested in hearing from anyone that has been on the Brilliance Greek Islands cruise. How many and what nights are the formal nights? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!

We have a group of 6 on the 9/23 Brilliance Med. "Greek" tour. The info we have is that there will be 3 formal nights, but don't know which nights; you would think it would be "at sea" nights. HOpefully, we'll get some feedback from some folks who have recently been on this cruise.

Hi mec14, you're just the person we're looking for. How about signing up for the Meet and Mingle Party. We are five short of the required 25, your group will push us over the top.

We also have a thread going for the 9/23 cruise at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=15966&page=5&pp=25

Hope that you will join us, we're a really friendly bunch.

My experience with 12 day cruises is that it's pretty hit and miss with the number of formal nights. This one is very port intensive and while I would like three formals, it may be only two. Let's hope that we get some input.

I was on the July1 Brilliance (Venice) and we had 3 formal nights. The formal nights were not limited to days at sea. The ship is beautiful and you are in for a wonderful trip. Have fun. Laura

Hi Ibenson:

I read your post about using Giavanni as a tour guide.

I contacted him about a tour and he asked if I could please tell him who recommended him to me. I wanted to know if it was okay to tell him you did?

I also didn't have a name for him:)

If this is okay, you can e-mail me at: dotcom000@aol.com.

Thanks, Debbi

We are just back from July 25 Brilliance to Venice. On this there were 3 formal nights (because of Venice/Masquerade).

If any of you have questions about our trip, I will be glad to answer if I can. These boards were great in helping us plan and have a wonderful trip!

What do they do during Venice Masquerade night?

There are masks for sale everywhere in Venice. Many people bought them and they had a masquerade ball from 10:30-12:30 after dinner. We did not go to see the ball, but many people brought their masks to dinner and pictures were taken all over the ship. Otherwise it was just another formal night because the masks definitely needed dressy clothing so those of us that didn't buy masks were asked to dress formally. The masks were beautiful!

Hi,

I was on board with Donna, looks like she kept good notes!! ;) I did see the poolside activities and there was a young man named Giovanni announcing.

Hope that helps,

Anyone else out there been to the Med/Greek Isles on the Brilliance? We are wondering what you liked the best? Favorite port, site, food, souvenir, anything and everything!!

We will be sailing BoS in June 2005 on the Greek Isles itinerary and we can't wait!!
