This is from best to worst, and worst doesn’t mean that it’s a bad ship. Where there were any tie-breaks I’ve then used my own judgement to place one slightly higher based on the features and experiences on board.Īlso, one last bit of context – this isn’t a list ranking the ships from “good” to “bad”. I’ve looked at the scores across those three sites, and then ranked each ship in order. Because there are lots of reviews, the averages will be exactly that – a true average. By that, I mean they won’t be skewed by one or two really bad experiences, or one or two higher-than-usual scores either. That’s why I’ve chosen them – they’ll give the best average scores. These websites aren’t biased towards any cruise line or ship, they simply host thousands of reviews from real customers. Instead, I’ve looked at the reviews of all the ships from three of the biggest independent cruise websites – Cruise Critic, and TripAdvisor. I’ve sailed with Royal Caribbean several times, but certainly not on all 26 ships, and so that’d be a really unfair judgement for me to make. While that might be interesting, it is extremely subjective since it would just be based on one person. Before we get to the list, some context is important.
