Brilliance of the Seas News
During Brilliance of the Seas' approach to Alexandria, Egypt on December 12, 2010, the ship experienced extreme wind and sea conditions, including heavy seas and 70 knot winds, nearly double what had been forecasted. The combination of the wind and sea conditions resulted in severe ship movement. The severe ship movement caused damage to some public areas and a loss of electricity in some staterooms. There was no impact to the ship's operating systems or engines and the ship continued to be fully seaworthy.
