RCI first time

[grantclaire]

Hi, we are thinking of trying RCI after 8 cruises on DCL. Was looking at a 5 day cruise out of Tampa on The Brilliance of the Seas. Any thoughts or tips on the shorter RCI cruises would be much appreciated! Thanks.

I don't have any experience with a 5-day cruise, Brilliance, or the Tampa port, but RCBlog has a review of a B2B on Brilliance this year, which covers the 5 day as well as a 4 day cruise. Hope that helps.

We're going on a 4 day cruise in August (another Royal ship). Can report back then. But for planning, I'm just taking note of things that we for sure want to try/do...and then take it from there. We know we can't do it all but will just enjoy the days to the most. When are you looking at for Brilliance?

I cruised on Brilliance on a repo cruise from Boston to Tampa (12 days) and will be sailing on her again on a Baltics cruise (12 days) In 3 weeks. It is a beautiful ship and we loved it.

Thanks, the blog is full of good information!

Thanks, looking at February 2019
