Nothing to warn you about

No category on this ship rates below the middle of the fleet, and reviewers named no consistent complaint.

That is what the reviews show, not a guarantee — see what we can’t tell you below.

Everything else, in two lines

Four categories rate in the top tenth of the fleet — entertainment, activities, fitness and embarkation.

Family rates that highly too, but only 66 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Seven are good without being remarkable: ship quality, disembarkation, dining, public areas, service, value and cabins. They rate higher than 77% to 90% of ships.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.78 and 9.14. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

What we can’t tell you

How it handles mobility needs: Too few reviewers mentioned accessibility here.
Whether it's good value today: Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
