Reviewer read

Rated below most ships we track. It falls behind on cabins.

Grand Princess rates higher overall than 41% of the ships we track. Value is its strongest showing. The weak spot is cabins — and reviewers say it is getting worse.

The one caution

7.9out of 10 for cabins

Higher than only 19% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.40.

Of the 56 reviewers who described cabins changing over time, 41 said it got worse.

Everything else, in two lines

Three are good without being remarkable: value (higher than 67% of ships), embarkation (higher than 62% of ships) and disembarkation (higher than 53% of ships).

Eight fall below the fleet: entertainment, public areas, activities, service, dining, fitness, ship quality and cabins. They rate higher than 19% to 49% of ships.

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 68 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.24 and 8.49. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
