The one caution
8.0out of 10 for cabins
Higher than only 22% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.40.
Of the 547 reviewers who wrote about it, 56% were positive.
One category rates in the top tenth of the fleet — disembarkation.
Four are good without being remarkable: value, embarkation, public areas and ship quality. They rate higher than 55% to 73% of ships.
Six fall below the fleet: service, dining, fitness, activities, entertainment and cabins. They rate higher than 22% to 38% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview and suite grades all score between 8.38 and 8.76. 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.
Reviewers named 12 places by name. This is the one where knowing changes anything — the other 8 are all liked by 56% to 93% of the people who mentioned them.
First-time cruisers (54 of 59), seniors (42 of 50), couples (14 of 19) and solo travelers (9 of 12).
No group described it as a poor fit.
