Cabin 5226A · Brilliant Lady

Cabin 5226A is a The Sea View on Deck 5 of Brilliant Lady, and it sits forward of midship. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 8 cabins along the corridor to Redemption Spa. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Spa. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 65th cabin position of 84 along Deck 5. Deck 5 also has Redemption Spa, Sailor Services, Rojo by Razzle Dazzle and Pink Agave on it. There are 93 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

A The Sea View gives you 189.5-288 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
