Reviewer read

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

Pride of America rates higher overall than 21% of the ships we track. The weak spot is cabins — and reviewers say it is getting worse.

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 6% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.40.

Of the 145 reviewers who described cabins changing over time, 91 said it got worse.

Everything else, in two lines

Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 50 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Eleven fall below the fleet: embarkation, public areas, disembarkation, fitness, value, dining, service, entertainment, ship quality, activities and cabins. They rate higher than 6% to 49% of ships.

Cabin grade does matter here. Suite rates 8.3 and inside rates 7.6, across 1,421 cabin ratings.
