In this episode of the SeaLog Podcast, we take you through every moment of our 7‑day Greek Isles cruise aboard Brilliance of the Seas — day‑by‑day, port‑by‑port, and dish‑by‑dish. We dive into all the details: • Travel & Embarkation: What it was like flying into Athens, getting to the port in Piraeus, and how smooth (or not) the embarkation process really was. • The Ship & Cabin: Our honest thoughts on Brilliance as a Radiance-class ship — what surprised us, what felt dated, and how our cabin compared to past cruises. • The Ports & Excursions: From cliffside villages in Santorini and ancient ruins in Ephesus to city strolls in Cyprus, we share what excursions were worth it… and which ones fell flat. • Food & Dining: With meals at Windjammer, and in 5 ports, we break down what we truly enjoyed — and where the food didn’t deliver. • Entertainment & Extras: From the Centrum balloon drop and guest performers, we tell you what added value and what we’d skip next time. This is no-hype, no-filter feedback — just a real review of what we experienced, what worked, what didn’t, and whether we’d recommend this itinerary and ship to other cruisers.
