![]() ![]() We’ve asked for very little a credit for US $399 when I couldn’t get online the three occasions when the tech guy assisted me (he was unable to get me online on the ship’s WiFi) Gerald, our cabin steward, for extra pillows for our cabin and Anthony, the thoughtful maître d’ who’s assisted with my special diet. From the beverage staff in the Windjammer Café to the tech guy, to the customer service desk, to dining in the specialty restaurants, everyone is knowledgeable, gracious, and eager to please. The service aboard the ship is exemplary from what we’ve experienced. Too cold outside, no one appears to spend time at the pool although numerous guests have frequented the hot tub, not necessarily our thing. Nor have we yet to watch a movie in either the outdoor or indoor theatres when we’ve already seen all the movies they’ve shown. Without 8:00 pm dinner reservations, we usually don’t leave the dining room until 10:00 pm or later, when table sharing often precipitates delightful conversations. We’ve heard tepid reviews as to the various evening shows. We’ve included photos of the main live theatre here today, we’ve yet to watch any of the evening entertainment although we watched a matinee with an Irish comedian on Saturday. The only difference is that from time to time, people stop by, sit in the extra chairs at our table and chat with us which is always enjoyed and appreciated.Īs soon as they leave our table, I’m quickly back at work striving to complete the posts we’ve scheduled for upload through the end of the cruise on September 14, 2014. Each morning, as we worked on our posts, we’ve lounged in the area adjacent to the Windjammers Café with a full wall of windows for sea watching and wide padded chairs at tables for four with soft music playing in the background.Īs this familiar area has become more familiar, we find ourselves feeling as if we’re in the living room of a home we’re renting, content, as we could possibly, be. The common areas of the ship are appealing and comfortable with adequate seating and close proximity to an ice machine and complimentary coffee, tea, juice, and water. Ship equipment on display near the elevators. After Gerald, our conscientious cabin attendant, cleans the room, replaces towels, empties trashes, restocks coffee, and tea supplies, we find the cabin comfortable for sleeping and for the few hours we spend inside each day. ![]() The bed is comfortable with good covers and pillows. The shower is adequate, although water may quickly accumulate on the floor if the shower head isn’t angled correctly or the water pressure is too high. The bathroom is surprisingly sufficient with shelf space and a roomy medicine cabinet. There are numerous drawers we haven’t needed to use. We each have our own closet and share a series of shelves for the folded items. We don’t find ourselves feeling cramped at all. At 179 square feet for an E1 category Balcony Cabin, the square footage difference is negligible based on its creative design. The cabins are smaller by approximately 15 square feet as opposed to other cruises we’ve booked in the past and future. The deck where many passengers take long walks. The design is excellent, in that it’s easy to find the elevators, and maneuver from one area to the next without aimlessly wandering around as we’ve done on a few prior ships. The obvious diligent and regular maintenance are clearly evidenced in all areas. Walking through the ship we find areas that should be renovated to update the décor, although there are few areas showing any signs of wear and tear. Many new updates will be completed in 2015. This is an older ship that was built in 2002, renovated in 2013. ![]() The indoor pool on Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas. ![]()
