I want to welcome Michael as our guest live blogger, as he will be posting daily blog posts about his experience on Brilliance of the Seas. I hope this will offer everyone a fun insight into what a cruise on Brilliance of the Seas is like, especially for someone who may be new to the Radiance class of ships. Enjoy!
Hi I’m Michael Poole fellow listener of the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast, and avid cruiser.
You might recognize me from the recent, round-table discussion podcast on episode 28 or even way back to episode 13 and 17 discussing my Oasis of the Seas cruise.
This will be my 16th cruise and lucky number 13th with Royal Caribbean and will also be my 3rd solo cruise. Needless to say, I’m excited to be sharing my upcoming cruise with all the Royal Caribbean Blog fans and I will be Live blogging while at sea.
I’ve booked the 4 day Western Caribbean cruise on Brilliance of the Seas, which is in the Radiance class ships. I've sailed on every class with Royal Caribbean expect Radiance class, so I’m really excited to try something different.
I decided to book this cruise around three weeks ago when home on a snow day. I just looked outside and said I cannot take much more of this, and thought Why Not! I booked an E2 balcony on deck 7 forward, I’ve read mix review of balconies on this deck, some with views of lifeboats below so I’ll be sure to provide all the details.
This cruise will offer two sea days and a port day in Cozumel Mexico.
For my sea days I'll be pool side soaking up the sun rays and for my day in Cozumel, Mexico I've made reservations at an all-inclusive beach resort called, Nachi-Cocom.
This should be a great experience and I’m really looking forward to sharing it with all of you. That’s all for now and my next post will be from Brilliance of the Seas!
