MAJOR Differences in Quality on Royal Caribbean - Brilliance of the Seas vs Independence of the Seas

Morgan, so right about Royal's fleet. Consistency can be in short supply. Getting on the Harmony on Sunday. We done two Princess cruises since being on Royal. At one point we were totally loyal to Royal. We've kind of changed our tune. We've loved the last two Princess cruises.

Our first cruise 🛳 in many years - we had a great time on BRILLIANCE OF THE SEAS! Good food, good shows, hospitable staff and lots of fun things to do if you choose. One highlight I need to mention is meeting this vlogger in person! He is spot on with this information - I love it when vloggers present a well rounded, realistic picture of what a vacation may be like. Not everything is perfect ALL the time, but it can still be great overall! That's reality - and I'm here for it! 😊 Thank you for your video! (Tall lady - orange glasses 😂)

Those are the only two RC ships that I’ve sailed. I loved Brilliance and liked Indy. I love an old school atrium and an ocean focused ship as opposed to interior “mall” design.

This is why we love your channel, Captain Morgan ... you give it to us straight👏👏👏

We are going on Brilliance next January. We have not cruised in 20 years, so we are excited. We have just retired and looking forward to being able to travel since we have the time now. We are going with a group. Those large mega ships don’t really appeal to us. So I was happy we were going on a ship this size. I could see the mega ships being popular with families. We have done one Royal Caribbean, two Princess and a NLC cruise in the past. Princess was our favorite back then. I want to try a Holland American ship.

I just finished back to back sailings on the Brilliance of the Seas from Australia to Hawaii and I think that the it was one of the Best Cruises I have ever taken. The Food in the Main Dining Room the food was Great and the service was even better. The size of the ship is wonderful and very accessible . Overall it was a wonderful cruise. The Shows were wonderful on our cruise sorry you had technical issues.

The show must go on ! ❤️

Thanks and hope you feel better. Enjoy the great desserts!❤❤❤

Thanks for the insight

Hope you have a wonderful cruise Morgan.

Now you know what cruise ship shows were like 30 years ago. Back then, the passengers were thrilled.

I was on Indy last month and had a great time! I would like to go on one of the older ships someday.

We were on the Ovation Hawaii-Vancouver. Yes, they also had a show that highlighted the talent of their stage performers. I think this is something new. We have done this crossing twice in the past yr and half, which never had this.

Great Information

We Loved BOTS! We sailed on her in March 2022 and booked cabin 1600, a grand suite in the aft. It sailed out of Tampa, FL and we live in the area so it made it super convenient. We didn't have high expectations and we were so pleasantly surprised.

My wife and I have been on near 50 cruises. The food on the ships is not the same variety as before COVID. We find barely acceptable. Except of course for Carnival which was BAD. Lately have been on Allure, Adventure, Voyager, Harmony, Dream, Glory, Harmony booked again, and Brilliance coming in Nov.

This makes me happy! My husband and I do cruised for the first time about a year ago. Our first cruise was on independence. We are cruising on brilliance in November. I was worried that we may be slightly disappointed sailing on an older smaller ship than independence. We are going on oasis in May 2025.

Ive been on the Allure of the Seas and the Symphony of the Seas. Food was great on both.

I do believe food quality varies by ship. It's also possible that some items are sourced differently depending on where you are in the world. It is sad they can't do production shows without the computers working.

Just wanted to mention that Quinoa is pronounced KEEN-wah. Love watching your videos, Morgan.
