The one caution

7.1out of 10 for embarkation

Higher than only 6% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.44.

Everything else, in two lines

Two are good without being remarkable: value (higher than 77% of ships) and fitness (higher than 58% of ships).

Six fall below the fleet: entertainment, public areas, dining, cabins, service and embarkation. They rate higher than 6% to 49% of ships.

Activities, Ship quality and Disembarkation fall below the fleet too, on 50, 59 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.

Who says it suited them

First-time cruisers (63 of 70), families with young kids (35 of 47) and couples (10 of 13).

No group described it as a poor fit.
