The one caution

7.8out of 10 for service

Higher than only 19% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.66.

Of the 64 reviewers who described service changing over time, 43 said it got worse.

Of the 679 reviewers who wrote about it, 60% were positive.

Everything else, in two lines

Two are good without being remarkable: public areas (higher than 82% of ships) and ship quality (higher than 69% of ships).

Nine fall below the fleet: value, entertainment, cabins, fitness, embarkation, activities, disembarkation, dining and service. They rate higher than 19% to 46% of ships.

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 75 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
