We stayed in 8000 on Brilliance in February, our first time in a FOV. This room was great. The separate little room was a perfect size for our daughter and the extra room in the cabin was wonderful. The best part was the portholes, which had a ledge under the windows. Our daughter loved sitting in the window and staring out or playing, and the view from the front of the ship was a totally unique perspective.
Two drawbacks to this room. Because it is at the complete bow of the ship, it was a long walk to get anywhere or to just pop back up for something we forgot. Not a big deal with older kids, but our daughter is 14 months, so carrying her or wheeling her in the stroller was a bit trickier. Also, this room is directly over the theater, and even on the 8th floor you could clearly hear the performances through the floor. Didn't bother my husband and daughter, but I'm a light sleeper and definitely kept me up. Wouldn't keep me from booking the room again though! Enjoy!
