Brilliance of the Seas

The main dining room is set out over two floors, and offers diners an airy, elegant venue to enjoy their meal in classic style. If you’d prefer something a little more casual, there are plenty of other dining options to choose from, such as sandwiches, snacks and buffet meals at the Sea View or Windjammer cafés. Try the Pizzeria for a tasty slice of Italy, or Portofino for a speciality dish in more luxurious restaurant surroundings. Alternatively, you could head to Chops Grille for a steak, burger or delicious fresh seafood. For a quick treat, you could pop into Latte-tudes – the ship’s coffee bar – and choose from a great selection of cakes, pastries and ice cream.

A wide range of comfortable and spacious suites and staterooms are available aboard the Brilliance of the Seas, with something to suit every preference and budget. If you´re looking for a spacious balcony for additional space to relax and greet your ports of call from in the mornings, or if you´d like to treat yourself to some additional luxury, you´ll find an accommodation option to suit you. Travelling with the family? There are spacious Family Ocean View Staterooms and Two Bedroom Family Suites available.

The Brilliance of the Seas offers activities for everyone, however, you like to spend your time aboard. You could be climbing the ship’s top-deck rock wall, or skating in the indoor ice rink. Take a swim in one of the ship’s two pools, or relax in one of three whirlpools instead. If you’re looking for an active holiday, there’s plenty of facilities to choose from – from the ship’s golf simulator and gym to a full-size basketball court. Your voyage might also give you the chance to try wine tastings, card game lessons in the ship’s casino, foreign language classes, and the opportunity to learn swing dance and salsa.

Royal Caribbean have cruise ship entertainment down to a fine art, and the Brilliance of the Seas offers a great variety of nightly shows.

Elsewhere on-board you could take the mic at the Schooner Bar, a warm and welcoming nautical venue with a live pianist providing the soundtrack to your evening. There are daily performances of ice-skating shows in Studio B, or if you prefer to just sit back with some music then the Aquarium Bar, Champagne Bar and Connoisseur Club make perfect places to unwind with a quiet drink. Alternatively, head to High Notes, the ship’s inviting jazz venue – or try your luck at the Casino Royale, offering lessons for beginners and tournaments for those with some experience at the tables.

You could treat yourself to a massage in the on-board spa, offering a range of therapies for absolute relaxation during your cruise. The Brilliance of the Seas also offers a great choice of shopping, with boutiques selling clothes and souvenirs. Alternatively, you could relax in more active style in the ship’s fitness centre – fully equipped for resistance and cardio workouts, with a sauna and steam room to relax in after your session.
