Cabin 9166Z · Brilliant Lady

Cabin 9166Z is a Central Sea Terrace on Deck 9 of Brilliant Lady, and it sits midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Grounds Club sits two decks down, 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. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 145 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 80th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Central Sea Terrace grade runs 225.3 square feet. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

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.
