The one caution
8.4out of 10 for ship quality
Higher than only 27% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.75.
Five are good without being remarkable: embarkation, entertainment, activities, service and cabins. They rate higher than 53% to 77% of ships.
Three fall below the fleet: disembarkation (higher than only 48% of ships), dining (higher than only 43% of ships) and ship quality (higher than only 27% of ships).
Value, Family, Fitness and Public areas fall below the fleet too, on 88, 36, 85 and 99 ratings — too few to lean on.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview and balcony grades all score between 8.40 and 8.62. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
First-time cruisers (8 of 9).
No group described it as a poor fit.
