craig403 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Which to choose. Brilliance or Vision. Both have a transatlantic leaving from Barcelona next year. November for 15 nights vs September for 13 nights, respectively. We have not been on the Brilliance yet. They both visit the same ports except for one port and they are both great ships. The last time we were on the Vision we had a cabin on deck 7 next to the elevators. There were times that the band got quite loud in the Centrum and the sound reverberated up through the hole in the ship. I'm going to assume that the Brilliance is the same so no more cabins close to the aft elevators. I'm an old guy and I do sometimes like to go to bed 9:30 of so.

twangster Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 You avatar is holding a wine glass. Brilliance has a Vintages. One of the best at sea in my opinion with great ocean views. It also has a pub and cinema. Nice on those sea days after sea days. All things being equal I'd probably pick Brilliance. craig403 and JLMoran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn T. Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I agree with @twangster. I would choose Brilliance too. I have sailed both Brilliance and Vision. Brilliance is a little bigger and the cinema, in my opinion, is a nice option. Love those glass elevators with ocean views. craig403 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonemanbob Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Brilliance hands down. As all the others have said is absolutely why this is our choice of ship. Especially on sea days you have so much more to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRLPP Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Brilliance is my favorite ship. I love the Radiance class. Park Café is my favorite spot for breakfast and lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernYankee Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Definitely Brilliance. Love the Radiance class ships. Very nice ship to do the transatlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rede411 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 May your choice be a "Brilliant" one craig403 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2mybugs Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I have only been on vision...it was a nice ship... But I'm dying to try the brilliance class. Everything I've seen says it is just a beautiful ships and someday twangster I will try that vintages. I'm sad that even though I will enjoy vision next summer, that my 12 day in Europe isn't on a brilliance class ship. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Having been on Rhapsody (a Vision class ship) and Brilliance (Radiance class), I'd pick Radiance Class. It's not a knock on the Vision Class, just that Brilliance is an improved experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig403 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Thanks everyone. I was leaning toward Brilliance also for some of the same reasons as well as never having been on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfaninfl Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 +1 for Brilliance...Vision class is fine but Radiance class ships do not have the Centrum noise/casino smoke problem (sailed on both)...and the ocean view from almost anywhere on board the Radiance class is fantastic! craig403 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsmom Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'm looking forward to viewing Alaska thru all the glass views aboard the Radiance. We will be on her in 21 days... WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
