How we blend it

One number to compare lines. Weighted: Cruise Critic 85% · Trustpilot 15%. Cruiser-review sites count most because they reflect real sailings; complaint boards count a little; Google and our own verified reviews fold in when available.

Compare all nine lines

From Cruise Critic 3.8/5 ★★★★☆ 21,002 reviews · Average Member reviews from people who sailed, filterable by ship and date. The most useful single source. From Trustpilot 2.7/5 ★★★☆☆ 911 reviews Trustpilot skews toward customer-service complaints for every cruise line; read it for how problems get handled, not for what a good sailing feels like.

From Google –/5 ☆☆☆☆☆ Loading Google rating… Live from Google Maps.

We show scores and counts with attribution and link to the source. We do not copy other sites' reviews. Trustpilot and similar complaint boards run low for every cruise line; Cruise Critic and Tripadvisor reflect actual sailings.

Our read

Choose Princess for the itinerary and you will be happy; reviews for Alaska and the Panama Canal run well above the line average. Choose a twenty-year-old ship for a cheap Caribbean week and the scores drop.
