The one caution

6.6out of 10 for public areas

Higher than only 8% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.79.

Everything else, in two lines

Three are good without being remarkable: disembarkation (higher than 59% of ships), cabins (higher than 59% of ships) and embarkation (higher than 51% of ships).

Nine fall below the fleet: activities, service, dining, ship quality, family, entertainment, value, fitness and public areas. They rate higher than 8% to 34% of ships.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The balcony and suite grades all score between 8.38 and 8.49. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
