Creator's Key Takeaways

we were booked on the Brilliance of the Seas for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef that left on the 8th of December 2023 however that's not where we went

Royal Caribbean very wisely decided that cruising towards a cyclone was very bad idea so we ended up heading south instead

we loved the Brilliance so much that we booked another cruise on her later in the season

all in all this was an unexpected gem particularly for my husband who has a particular interest in military history

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider walking from the port to the township in Eden, but be prepared for a steep incline.
βœ“Book a bus via shore excursions for $995 US return if walking is not preferred.
