Reviewer read

Rated below most ships we track. It falls behind on cabins.

Norwegian Spirit rates higher overall than 23% of the ships we track. The weak spot is cabins.

Why reviewers choose it

No category on this ship rates clearly above the fleet.

The one caution

7.5out of 10 for cabins

Higher than only 5% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.40.

Everything else, in one line

Eleven fall below the fleet: disembarkation, value, public areas, embarkation, entertainment, service, dining, fitness, ship quality, activities and cabins. They rate higher than 5% to 39% of ships.

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 54 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Cabin grade does matter here. Suite rates 8.7 and inside rates 7.7, across 1,741 cabin ratings.
