What a gorgeous room, Brandon! I love that you don’t leave home without your Metamucil, because at least I don’t want to be constipated and then not be able to really enjoy every singe meal!

Yeah, cruise ship food does not alway sit well with me - I choose to blame it on the food and not the quantity I am eating. 😂

We have booked this cabin for Brilliance out of New Orleans to the Western Carrib in Nov2024. Thanks for the share. We haven’t stayed in a suite of any kind before so I was excited to hear your impression.

I'll be there in Nov 24 out of New Orleans in a Junior Suite. Cant wait!! Also, I saw The Weekend Cruiser at Coco Cay a couple of weekends ago. Too bad I couldn't stop and chat.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much more luxurious and spacious the Junior Suite on Jewel felt in comparison to those on Voyager class ships even back in 2013.

@@tonymacgrath7762 Yes, I imagine that is true! What I have seen a lot of Europeans do is tack on a 3-night weekend cruise with another vacation. Say Disney World a trip a trip to Miami or California. Makes a good half way stop on the way back to rest up! Or just go on 3 back to back cruises to get 10 days on the 3night, 4ight and a 3 night :-)

Brilliance has a classy feel in general. I love the layout of the Schooner Bar. To me it’s a perfect size ship. That balcony was kind of a bummer though.

The tv should have a small button on the bottom in the very center. You can use this button to pull up a small menu with different selections. Click the button until it pulls up source and then click and hold to change source. Note you must have your cable connected for it to recognize you’re trying to change sources.

Enjoyed your video, heading out on the Brilliance in one of their Jr Suites for an AK cruise next month. Can you tell me/remember, the glass partition on the balcony,...would it open to connect to the other balcony next door? Our neighbors are family so was hoping to open those up and extend during our voyage. Rooms don't connect, hoping the balconies will.

The great thing with these questions is I don't have to remember! It's all on film! Looks like of you are looking out the balcony, the room to the right will open but not the one to the left. Hope y'all have a blast! Great ship to be in AK!

Beautiful room. Deck 10 midship is right below the pools and movie screen. Was noise an issue? I see they have those horrible canned waters on your cruise. I had so many problems with the tabs snapping off when I tried to open. I had to puncture the openings with my keys nearly cutting myself. I really miss the bottled water.

Hey Patricia and thank you!! The "mixers and elixirs" are my supplements I take to aid me in the gym. I started going to the gym and take an assortment of powders with me. Fiber, protein, creating, and a post workout powder. Enough it deserves its own section 😂

Hey there. Great content as always! Question….do you notice the movement of the ship more on one floor than the others? We’ve stayed mid ship on the 7th deck…and been ok. Are the suites all on higher floors? Thanks!
@TheWeekendCruiser
2 жыл бұрын
Hey Orren!! I do not notice more movement on higher floors but do notice it more towards the forward or aft sections of the ship. Granted, if she is really rocking, lower floors will be better but everyone will fill it at that point. Location of Suites depends on the class of ship but the older ships with less balconies are more prone to have suites only on the top floor directly under the pool or common areas.

The title under the video says Junior Suite 1568. The video description below says Junior Suite 1598. 1598 is a high number, so might be near the stern. I'm guessing 1568 is the correct number.

Hey Debbie! Completely understand and keeping the routine is key! I have tried a few strategies such as ziploc bags but I have found that I prefer to use hard plastic containers and put them in a reusable grocery bag. If flying, TSA will want to "swab" your bag but there is no limit to the amount of powders you can fly or cruise with. Don't forget to bring a shaker bottle and water bottle!
