Brilliance of the Seas is a fantastic Ship. Our room, an inside cabin through choice, was clean and tidy and well presented. Dining options were plenty and food was very good and tasty. The Windjammer always had a good selection of various foods. Staff were fantastic as always, nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed it so much that we booked another Cruise on the same Ship!

Great cruise holiday. Itinerary was very good and time spent in each destination was reasonable. Very clean ship, friendly service, with all amenities available. Food was excellent throughout the day. Drinks to expensive definitely not great value for money. Shows and general entertainment were very good. Swimming pool small for size of ship.

Great itinerary and ship. Very well looked after by the amazing crew and had a great cruise. Particular highlights were the trip to santorini and athens. Both gorgeous places to visit and booked great excursions that made the visits extra special. Ship was great but lacked pool facilities and entertainment could have been improved. Ship not too big but lots of the Ship felt empty as there didn't seem to be enough entertainment on at various points. Ship life revolves around the centrum (which is great when entertainment is on) but lack of seating means you're often standing whilst the other areas of the Ship are dead. Food in the windjammer buffet was good and there was plenty of choice. Kids enjoyed the variety for every meal and always found something they would like. We booked 'my time dining' but struggled to book any times I'd recommend booking a timeslot in the main restaurant and just cancelling if you decide not to go. You can also turn up without a booking but this wasn't made clear so we only ate in the main dining room once which was disappointing, but windjammer was good so didn't miss out. I would recommend attending the ship intro meeting if possible. A lot of the processes on the ship weren't explained at all suvh as how the drinks packages worked and dining reservations and it often took us a bit of time to work things out. This was our 5th cruise (3rd with Roysl Caribbean) and it is inevitably works slightly differenty each time. Overall facilities on the ship were a bit lacking - not enough entertainment or things to do compared to other Royal Caribbean ships we've cruised on. Used the gym a lot which was good and the kids had a great time at the kids club. Pool was always crowded and towels were down on sunbeds early which meant we struggled to get somewhere decent without sorting early. Excursions were expensive, but we booked most things locally which saved a lot money and were mostly the same companies. We booked a local tour of ephesus (which ended up almost being private with only two families) for 4 for the cost of a single person cost on the ship organised excursion. The same tour company was used and the ship excursion ended up being a group of 40+ which allowed us to beat the crowds on a more personalised tour. Overall a great experience but there were a few minor areas which could have been improved.

Further information

Onboard

On Royal Caribbean cruises, dining options include traditional dining with set times (around 6:00 PM for early and 8:00 PM for late), flexible My Time Dining (usually 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM), specialty restaurants with variable reservation-based times, and extended hours for buffet and casual dining venues to accommodate varied schedules. Keep in mind that specifics can change, so check the cruise line's website or contact customer service for the latest information.

Royal Caribbean strives to accommodate various dietary requirements for their guests. They offer a range of dining options to cater to different dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other specific dietary restrictions. When making a reservation or prior to your cruise, it's recommended to inform Royal Caribbean of your dietary requirements so they can make the necessary arrangements and provide you with suitable meal options. Their main dining rooms, specialty restaurants, and buffet areas often have options that cater to different dietary preferences.

Generally, Royal Caribbean guests have a luggage allowance comprising checked and carry-on bags. Checked bags usually have a weight limit of around 50 pounds or 23 kilograms each, with varying allowed quantities. Carry-on bags can include personal items, medications, and valuables, and are typically brought to staterooms. Special items like pushchairs and medical equipment might be allowed. Baggage policies can change, so it's advisable to refer to Royal Caribbean's official website.

Royal Caribbean features a versatile "Wear What You Want" approach for most of its cruises. While formal wear is optional, smart-casual attire is common for evenings. The cruise line encourages self-expression in attire while ensuring respectful dressing in public areas.

Iglu Cruise has a team in place to provide necessary assistance to make your holiday run smoothly. If anyone in your party requires medical or mobility assistance, notify your Cruise Specialist at the time of booking or as soon as possible if circumstances change after booking. The Special Assistance Team will email a form 6-8 weeks before departure, which must be completed and returned.

Travel Requirements

All passengers (including all children), should hold their own full 10-year (5 years for children) British Citizen (GBR) passport. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months past your expected return date to the UK, as this is often a criteria for entry to certain countries.

Royal Caribbean strongly recommends that all guests consider purchasing travel insurance to protect themselves against unexpected events that could disrupt their travel plans, such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, baggage loss, or travel delays.
