Reviewer read

A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on service.

Scarlet Lady rates higher overall than 61% of the ships we track. Fitness and value are exceptional. The weak spot is service.

The one caution

8.5out of 10 for service

Higher than only 35% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.66.

Of the 1,067 reviewers who wrote about it, 75% were positive.

Everything else, in three lines

Two categories rate in the top tenth of the fleet — fitness and value.

Four are good without being remarkable: public areas, dining, cabins and embarkation. They rate higher than 53% to 87% of ships.

Two fall below the fleet: entertainment (higher than only 44% of ships) and service (higher than only 35% of ships).

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 64 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
