Cabin 5234M · Brilliant Lady

Cabin 5234M is a Social Insider 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.

The nearest is Redemption Spa, and that is 10 cabins away down the corridor. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. Spa. 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 61st 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 Social Insider grade runs 177 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

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.
