We have just returned from a cruise on the Brilliance of the Seas and having taken many cruises over the past few years have to say that this recent one from Barcelona to Dubai was the worst we have ever experienced. We occupied a stateroom on deck 10 - the suite itself... more

Went on this cruise for my 60th birthday and chose royal Caribbean as we had cruised with them before and Dubai sounded like a special place to be. On arrival taken to reception point as too early to board ship. Lovely venue and breakfast. Given wrong sea passes, so... more

Don't be misled by Royal Caribbean calling all accommodation "Staterooms" they are cabins with not too much space A staterooom suggests space & class, ours had neither. Our cabin had pullout overhead bunk for 3rd. person, not good, balcony was very small. Bathroom was no... more
