Cabin 5318A · Brilliant Lady

Cabin 5318A is a The Sea View on Deck 5 of Brilliant Lady, and it sits far forward. 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 well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan The Den is on the deck above, about 5 cabins along 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 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 10th 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,408 cabins on board. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
