Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas HSECC Jan 2015
A few pics of the Jan 2015 Brilliance of the Seas 4-night Western Caribbean cruise out of Tampa Florida. HSECC Friends and Family First Annual Cruise. There were approximately 35 parishioners on this cruise. The only port was Cozumel. The days were pretty cool and windy, so we did not spend much time on deck or in the pool. Luckily the seas were not rough, especially with Hurricane Juno rolling in. We could feel the ship rocking on a few occasions. For an older ship, she was in great shape due to a recent refurb.
We had a wonderful cruise! Good food, great friends and way too many late nights filled with laughter! (I dare not post those images!)
