The one caution
8.0out of 10 for disembarkation
Higher than only 10% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.80.
Three are good without being remarkable: family (higher than 74% of ships), fitness (higher than 67% of ships) and entertainment (higher than 57% of ships).
Nine fall below the fleet: dining, cabins, activities, value, ship quality, public areas, service, embarkation and disembarkation. They rate higher than 10% to 47% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 7.92 and 8.35. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
Reviewers named 12 places by name. These 3 are the ones where knowing changes anything — the other 9 are all liked by 60% to 88% of the people who mentioned them.
First-time cruisers (291 of 335), families with young kids (215 of 318), solo travelers (149 of 162), families with teens (95 of 131), couples (63 of 77) and large groups (45 of 55).
Travelers with accessibility needs (73 of 105) described it as a poor fit.
