Creator's Key Takeaways

I was invited by Virgin Voyages to stay overnight on board Brilliant Lady in August 2025.

I wouldn't recommend staying in this type of cabin on deck 14 aft if you're a light sleeper as the galley was directly above us.

This cabin actually offers a larger than average balcony despite being labeled as a standard sea terrace.

The best bit of this bathroom for me, though, was the fact that it had a large shower with a glass shower screen, which is a massive plus for me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid deck 14 aft if you are a light sleeper due to noise from the galley above.
Consider booking a cabin one or two decks lower for a larger balcony at the same price.

YouTube Video Description

ad • Join me as I show you around our Sea Terrace cabin onboard Brilliant Lady! I'll highlight all the key features in this grade of cabin, it's larger than expected balcony, as well as why I wouldn't recommend staying in this area of the ship if you're a light sleeper. We stayed in cabin 14102A - a Sea Terrace located near the aft of Deck 14 and was recorded in August 2025 during a media showcase of Brilliant Lady in Portsmouth! As I was invited by Virgin, you will see a 'paid promotion' flag on this video but that does not mean I've been paid to portray Virgin in a particular way. Instead, just my usual honest opinion about what I loved, and what could be improved! Want to know more about Cruising with Matthew?
