The second of Royal Caribbean’s four Radiance-class sisters, 2002’s Brilliance of the Seas got a little brighter after a face-lift in 2013 and the addition of several new features during a 2018 refit. The result? This 2,142-guest ship now offers a terrific array of dining choices and entertainment options. Compared to the biggest cruise ships out there, this one feels mid-sized, which is great for anyone who doesn’t want to be overwhelmed by a vessel carrying two or three times as many passengers.
