Creator's Key Takeaways

there are so many things about this ship that I feel look better and are working better than I experienced on the Independence of the Seas

the food selection and the just the the quality the selection and the preparation and presentation has been so much better on the Brilliance of the Seas than it was on the Independence of the Seas

the gluten-free desserts were very lacking for several meals the only gluten-free dessert was Jello which is you know that's that's kind of lame right

probably the worst show I've ever seen on Royal Caribbean and it's not because of the talent of the people it was just because of the the way it was put together was just not good

YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean is one of the most popular mainstream cruise lines. With one of the biggest fleets of passenger ships at sea, of course it can be difficult to maintain quality. I am currently on the Brilliance of the Seas (May 5th, 2024), and the differences are very evident! #royalcaribbean #cruiseship #cruise Get my NEW BOOK!
