Cabin 8258M · Brilliant Lady

Cabin 8258M is a Solo Insider on Deck 8 of Brilliant Lady, and it sits forward of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The Manor sits on the deck below, roughly 2 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 6 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 130 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 38th from forward.

The Solo Insider grade runs 105-177 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.
