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

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

Family rates that highly too, but only 58 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Six are good without being remarkable: ship quality, public areas, value, service, dining and disembarkation. They rate higher than 80% to 90% of ships.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.96 and 9.09. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
