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.
