Cruise Ship Cabin Tour - Brilliance of the Seas
Royal Caribbean has over 25 cruise ships sailing the seas, and many of their designs are very similar. On our recent cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver on the Brilliance of the Seas, we were very pleasantly surprised by the different design elements making this ship unique from many others in the fleet. Check out the entire cabin, including the bathroom and balcony. #royalcarribean #cruiseship #cruise

We cruised on the Serenaded of the which is the same class as the Brilliance. We loved the ship and our balcony cabin. These older ships have an elegant old school kind of feeling. Theses older ships also have an amazing amount of storage.

We absolutely have a "whatever" area. Every time. We also bring a collapsible hamper for laundry so THAT doesn't end up in the whatever area, hehe.

I like the Brilliance of the Seas cabin layout

@juliewilson3237 5 күн бұрын

The darker tones age the cabins but I have to say I think I prefer it , instead of all looking bland beige , grey !! We definitely have a messy , whatever corner or chair . Would lose everything otherwise 😜.

I just love your comments during your videos. I tell you I laugh every time you have some thing you have a great sense of humor as far as I’m concerned and it really makes it even better video watching. Keep up the good work.😊

I was on Brilliance last week on a trip to Alaska and I loved it. I was on deck 7, the couch was half the size as yours but the balcony was extendee about three feet further

Definitely a "whatever" area by day 3 or 4. I get lazy. The darker tones of the wood make the room look more classic, not trendy. I was on Indy years ago and it was not my favorite. Love the new layout and colors in the newer ships. The closets on either side of the bed or couch make the room feel more spacious and I absolutely love having a separate dresser. My favorite. The glass showers are wonderful.

My husband and I took our very first cruise in 2009 on Brilliance. Loved the ship it was a great introduction to cruising. We have cruised many times since including on the newer bigger Royal ones. I wish they would build a few more ships the same size as Brilliance instead of more and more “ginormous” ones. My answer to your question re cabinet decor - definitely prefer the older Brilliance one.

I agree! We need some more well designed mid-size cruise ships and not just bigger bigger bigger!

We saw this ship in Hobart, Tasmania (Australia) Feb 2024. We fell in love with it from first sight. Unfortunately she is leaving our market so we missed the opportunity 😞 Love the look of the cabin.

Whatever areas are awesome. Great video as always Morgan.

Like the bigger couch, so many have a small loveseat that just collects stuff

@SunnyTravels 5 күн бұрын

"Whatever Area" - the couch is primarily for clothes I've worn for a few hours but not long so not yet dirty. I used to change clothes 4 or 5 times each day on a cruise. It was fun. As I cruise more (or get older), it's just an unnecessary allotment of time.

Loved, loved the into

The lighter woods reminds me of the golden oak kitchen cupboards of the 90s. That couch looks like a real couch, not the plasticy couches they use now. You need a rechargeable fan! I bought one that lasts about 9 hours

Hi Morgan, I prefer the darker, more traditional look of your cabin, and I love the size of the ship. I did a cruise in 2019 from Vancouver BC to Alaska and then a Trans Pacific cruise to Sydney Australia on the Ruby Princess for a total of 35 days and I loved every minute of it and would highly recommend it to you for a future cruise adventure. I sailed solo but quickly made some good friends.

Great room tour.

I’ve been on a couple of RC ships like this-in fact I’ve been on that ship. I’m pretty fluffy but I prefer the showers with a door rather than a curtain. It just makes a big old mess & sticks to my body.

The back of the couch is usually the “ catch all” spot for us… still have room to sit…Hi from Port St Lucie Florida…love your videos

Wait, you can actually sit on a couch? :-P

@conniejohnson9005 4 күн бұрын

That is a very old style cabin. Had one pretty much identical in 2013 on Radiance of the Seas. Hasn't been updated in years.

Just sailed on Adventure! and we had the same cabin! I hated it!!! I have three huge boys! in that small room, it was brutal and 8 night cruise!!! lol but we had an amazing over all cruise! Plus our shower had what I call the Clamshell door.....

Apparently, Brilliance just scored 100 on the CDC inspection

Are you going on Utopia? I have a junk area in my cabin. Not bad when traveling solo, but I have to manage it more when we travel 3 in a cabin. Then everything has to be put away.

I have always wondered how the "bigger" people on the cruise use the shower if they have the standard bathroom. Some people I have seen simply could not fit

@debbie8935 5 күн бұрын

Many use the showers in the gym area.

@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides 3 күн бұрын

I often use the showers in the gym area just because they are usually better in every way than the ones in the cabins!

@happycruiser 5 күн бұрын

Oh yes, the couch is used for "stuff" not for sitting.

Speaking as a representative of the "Big Ol' Butt" society, I can safely say, I would HATE that shower. Thank you and good night.

I haven't been on any cruises, so I am curious, on a cruise across the Pacific, where does it re-fuel? Are the tanks larger on some cruise ships, or are they all the same?

@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides 3 күн бұрын

The ships can "bunker" enough fuel for more than a week at sea. On a transatlantic crossing from Florida to Europe, sometimes the ships sail 9 or 10 days without stopping on land.

I am far more concerned about the layout of a cabin and give zero flips about the decor. I'll be there a couple weeks, max.

@feelosophy1921 5 күн бұрын

Darker brown woods look more luxurious I think. I don't care for the shower curtains because they seem to always stick to me. Such an icky feeling. My partner would have to drench that entire bathroom as the shower curtain would be left open. It's a plus for him to have space to stand half way in and half out.

Looks like a nice ship cabin. I know on older ships there will not be plugs next to the bed and i can adapt to that. I'm not a fan of when they put the phone on the nightstand. Those are small so I'd rather put my book or other stuff on a nightstand. My thing is "Nancy approved nightstands". Said night stand should be at least as high as the bed. It should have space for my phone, my book and a chapstick. A shelf, drawer or cubby is great. I hate Carnival's night stands on their newer ships - wtf are you going to fit on that. Really useless. All part of shrinking cabins so they can jam more cabins on the ship. Princes has the best nightstands.

Now I will also be thinking about Nancy-approved nightstands! :-P
