Lowest in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet

Averages of 661 member ratings, shown as reported. Passengers grade a ship against what they expected from its line, so these compare Norwegian Cruise Line ships to each other — not to ships from other lines. They are deliberately kept out of Vessel Class, which measures the ship itself.
