Reviewer read
A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on embarkation.
Sapphire Princess rates higher overall than 45% of the ships we track. Fitness is its strongest showing. The weak spot is embarkation.

The one caution
8.2out of 10 for embarkation
Higher than only 28% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.44.
Of the 645 reviewers who wrote about it, 72% were positive.
Everything else, in two lines
Four are good without being remarkable: fitness, public areas, value and activities. They rate higher than 52% to 75% of ships.
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 40 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Seven fall below the fleet: disembarkation, service, dining, ship quality, cabins, entertainment and embarkation. They rate higher than 28% to 43% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.32 and 8.72. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

What we can’t tell you
- How it handles mobility needs
- Too few reviewers mentioned accessibility here.
- How it suits families with young children
- Too few reviewers here described sailing with young kids.
- Whether it's good value today
- Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
