The one caution
7.3out of 10 for activities
Higher than only 20% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.83.
Everything else, in two lines
Six are good without being remarkable: disembarkation, public areas, value, embarkation, fitness and service. They rate higher than 54% to 81% of ships.
Five fall below the fleet: dining, ship quality, cabins, entertainment and activities. They rate higher than 20% to 44% of ships.
Family falls below the fleet too, but only 41 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Cabin grade does matter here. Oceanview rates 8.5 and balcony rates 7.8, across 449 cabin ratings.

What we can’t tell you

- Whether it's good value today
- Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
