Brilliance of the Seas Activities
No matter what sailing you choose on Brilliance of the Seas, every destination you visit is a show stopper. Fortunately, the ship offers endless opportunities to scope out the scenery and appreciate the sights whether you're rocking out forty feet above deck on the rock-climbing wall or hanging out in one of the Solarium's serene whirlpools.

- Pool Table: A game of pool may seem challenging on a cruise ship, but not if you have a gyroscopic pool table. Bring your A-game and experience the first self-leveling pool tables at sea.
- Teen Lounge: The Royal Caribbean teen program isn't some structured set of classes or rules. These "almost adults" deserve a vacation all their own. So, they give them the freedom to join pre-planned events throughout the day, or simply hang out in teen-only spaces with teen staff that keeps the good times coming.
- Adventure Science Lab: Fossil digs. Junior chemistry. Space Mud making. At the Adventure Science Lab at Adventure Ocean there's no limit to the discoveries budding scientists and curious kids alike can make as they try their hand at all sorts of engaging experiments.

And learning is a thrill fest for 9-11 year old in the Voyagers group.
