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 three lines

One category rates in the top tenth of the fleet — ship quality.

Ten are good without being remarkable: public areas, value, embarkation, activities, service, cabins, fitness, dining, entertainment and disembarkation. They rate higher than 64% to 89% of ships.

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 90 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.84 and 9.29. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

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.
