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

One category rates in the top tenth of the fleet — entertainment.

Eleven are good without being remarkable: activities, family, fitness, embarkation, service, dining, value, public areas, ship quality, disembarkation and cabins. They rate higher than 51% to 88% of ships.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.57 and 8.76. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
