Cabin 5230Z · Brilliant Lady

Cabin 5230Z 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 are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The Casino Bar sits on the deck above, roughly 3 cabins along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. Quiet comes out at 7 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.

Of the 84 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 63rd from forward. You share Deck 5 with Redemption Spa, Sailor Services, Rojo by Razzle Dazzle and Pink Agave. There are 93 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

The The Sea View grade runs 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,408 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
