Cabin 9230A · Brilliant Lady

Cabin 9230A is a Central Sea Terrace on Deck 9 of Brilliant Lady. You are midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Sip Lounge is two decks down, about 2 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. 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.

Counting from the bow, it is the 58th cabin position of 145 along Deck 9. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

A Central Sea Terrace gives you 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.
