Reviewer read
One of the lowest-rated ships we track. It falls behind on fitness.
MSC Orchestra rates higher overall than 5% of the ships we track. The weak spot is fitness.
Why reviewers choose it
No category on this ship rates clearly above the fleet.
The one caution
6.2out of 10 for fitness
Higher than only 4% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.35.
Everything else, in one line
Eight fall below the fleet: public areas, value, entertainment, cabins, service, dining, embarkation and fitness. They rate higher than 4% to 14% of ships.
Ship quality, Activities and Disembarkation fall below the fleet too, on 83, 50 and 44 ratings — too few to lean on.
Family has too few ratings on this ship to compare with the fleet, so it is shown without a comparison.

What we can’t tell you
- How it suits older travelers

- How it suits solo travelers
- Too few reviewers on this ship described traveling alone.
- Whether it's good value today
- Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
