Reviewer read

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

Valiant Lady rates higher overall than 70% of the ships we track. Fitness and value are exceptional. The weak spot is activities.

The one caution

7.7out of 10 for activities

Higher than only 43% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.83.

Everything else, in three lines

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

Eight are good without being remarkable: public areas, dining, disembarkation, service, cabins, embarkation, ship quality and entertainment. They rate higher than 61% to 89% of ships.

One falls below the fleet: activities (higher than only 43% of ships).

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 46 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
