Reviewer read
A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on cabins.
Brilliance of the Seas rates higher overall than 59% of the ships we track. Embarkation is its strongest showing. The weak spot is cabins.

The one caution
8.2out of 10 for cabins
Higher than only 40% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.40.
Everything else, in two lines
Nine are good without being remarkable: embarkation, service, fitness, value, activities, disembarkation, public areas, entertainment and dining. They rate higher than 52% to 72% of ships.
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 40 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Two fall below the fleet: ship quality (higher than only 46% of ships) and cabins (higher than only 40% of ships).
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.24 and 8.66. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
