Reviewer read
A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on disembarkation.
Serenade of the Seas rates higher overall than 69% of the ships we track. Value is its strongest showing. The weak spot is disembarkation.

The one caution
8.7out of 10 for disembarkation
Higher than only 43% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.80.
Everything else, in two lines
Ten are good without being remarkable: value, service, dining, public areas, embarkation, fitness, activities, ship quality, cabins and entertainment. They rate higher than 51% to 86% of ships.
One falls below the fleet: disembarkation (higher than only 43% of ships).
Covered in full above.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.46 and 8.66. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
Family has too few ratings on this ship to compare with the fleet, so it is shown without a comparison.
