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

Three categories rate in the top tenth of the fleet — activities, fitness and entertainment.

Family rates that highly too, but only 68 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Eight are good without being remarkable: public areas, ship quality, embarkation, value, service, dining, disembarkation and cabins. They rate higher than 71% to 86% of ships.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.72 and 8.90. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
