If you've sailed Virgin before, the ship will feel familiar, but there are some upgrades worth knowing about: 🍽️ BRILLIANT LADY DINING Food is still one of the strongest reasons to book Virgin Voyages, and specialty dining is included in your fare. In this Brilliant Lady cruise review, we cover Rojo by Razzle Dazzle (sangria, tapas, and a Basque cheesecake we ordered twice), Pink Agave, Extra Virgin, The Wake steakhouse, and Gunbae Korean BBQ. We also share the Alaska-exclusive dishes we found on several menus. 🎭 ENTERTAINMENT & NIGHTLIFE Entertainment is where Brilliant Lady stands out from her sister ships. We review the signature shows. Plus live music, parties in The Manor, the PJ Party, and Scarlet Night. 🍸 BARS & LOUNGES There are no new bar concepts on Brilliant Lady, but we found refreshed menus and Alaska-exclusive drinks like the sangrias at The Dock and mulled wine at the Athletic Club Bar. We also share which bars felt crowded and which sat nearly empty. 🛏️ SEA TERRACE CABIN REVIEW We booked a Sea Terrace balcony cabin with Virgin's signature red hammock. We break down the limited storage, the small bathroom, the rainfall shower, and why the cabin felt even tighter with all our Alaska layers. 🏔️ VIRGIN VOYAGES BRILLIANT LADY ALASKA Sailing Alaska on an adults-only cruise ship is a different experience. We cover the limited open-deck viewing, the lack of an indoor observation lounge, and how the ship handled rainy days with plenty of indoor social spaces. 🧭 WHY WATCH THIS BRILLIANT LADY REVIEW?
