Cabins

Brilliance of the Seas is the second in Royal Caribbean's new Radiance class. The ship's layout and facilities combine some of the best features from the larger Voyager class and the smaller Vision class ships.

Of a total of 1,050 cabins, 813 have an ocean view; of these, 577 have balconies (about 77 percent, the highest ratio in the Royal Caribbean fleet). All cabins have color television with remote, which broadcasts a variety of channels, from RCTV's interactive network (where you can order room service or pay-per-view flicks, buy shore excursions or check your onboard tab) to CNN. All have mini-bars (you pay for what you use), telephones, 110-220 electrical outlets, beds that convert to double or single, loveseats, and in-cabin computer jack for Internet hookups.

What had happend to this ship ?? - Did they "rip the connection out" ??
misko, I think that did happen. I sailed her sister ship, Serenade in 2005, and they had a dial- up connection in the cabins - but you had to rent a special phone. My guess is that people are used to faster connections, that they decided to stop supporting the dial-up, and invested they IT budget into wireless.

That said, you might find that you can access wireless in your cabin, as Ziggy pointed out.
