Creator's Key Takeaways

It's lowkey, but the energy is up, the music is loud, and it's a party, y'all.

The churros on Brilliant Lady are warm. They're really good. The chocolate dipping sauce is really tasty, too.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wake up early to secure a day bed by the pool, as there's only one pool on the ship.
If you're not tech-friendly, you may need help with the room controls and app.
Consider ordering a 6ft long cord for charging, as plugs are limited on one side of the bed.
