The full ranking

Six answers. 159 ships across 9 lines, re-ranked live around the way you travel — and every number traced to a guide we wrote. Where she sails filters. It never scores.

Ship Fit is the brain behind the site's 159 ship, cabin and dining guides: it reads what those guides already say and weighs it the way you told us to. Here is the whole method, without the maths hidden.
Who's going, what the trip is for, how you spend, how long you have, whether it's your first cruise and whether accessibility matters set how much each of ten dimensions counts. Switching off puts relaxation and space first; a family first cruise piles weight onto families, entertainment and value. The weights are printed inside every card.
Seven are the 1–10 gauges written on each ship's own guide. Dining is her Dining Fit score for the dining profile your answers imply. Space per guest and freshness come from the tonnage, guest count and service-entry year in the guide's stat block. Nothing is scraped, crowdsourced or guessed.
Every gauge is calibrated against a snapshot of the fleet taken once and versioned — never against whichever ships happen to be loaded. That is why adding a ship next month can move your ship's rank, but never her numbers.
If a guide gives no evidence for a dimension you weighted, the ship is assumed to sit at the frozen fleet average for it and that bar is drawn hollow. Her coverage figure shows how much of your weighting rests on real evidence. It is displayed, never used to move her.
Region and ship size decide which list a ship appears in — nothing more. A ship that doesn't sail your region keeps her exact score in a list further down. Deployment is read from her guide as a durable pattern, not a schedule: verify the sailing.
Exact ties share a rank and are shown as ties — we won't break them with confidence, popularity or a coin. Thin research is a reason to tell you, not a reason to mark a ship down.
When a guide gains the evidence it is missing, that ship's score moves toward the truth — and only hers. Calibration is frozen, so nothing else in the ranking shifts.
No. It ranks ships by how closely each one fits the way you said you travel — who's going, what the trip is for, how you spend, how long you have. A ship at the bottom of your list isn't a worse ship; she's a worse match for those six answers. Change one and watch the list re-sort.
Every dimension traces to a page on this site. Families, couples, entertainment, value, relaxation, luxury and accessibility are the 1–10 gauges printed on each ship's own guide. Dining is the ship's Dining Fit score for the dining profile your answers imply. Space per guest and freshness are worked from the gross tonnage, guest count and service-entry year in the guide's stat block. Nothing is scraped, crowdsourced or guessed.
Because leaving her out would hide her, and inventing numbers would be worse. Where her guide gives no evidence for a dimension you weighted, we assume she sits at the frozen fleet average for it and draw that bar hollow, so you can see exactly which parts of her score are real and which are placeholders. Her coverage figure tells you how much of your weighting rests on real evidence. Confidence is shown, never used to move a rank.
Because where a ship sails has nothing to do with how good a fit she is on board. Filtering by region or size decides which list a ship appears in — it never touches her score, her confidence or her rank. Deployment is read from each guide as a durable pattern, not a schedule; always verify the exact sailing.
Neither. Exact ties share a rank and are declared as ties. We don't break them with confidence, popularity or anything else — read both guides.
No. Every dimension is calibrated against a frozen snapshot of the fleet, not against whichever ships happen to be loaded. A new ship can move your ship's rank position by slotting above or below her; it can never move her numbers.
Dining Fit is the deep dive on one dimension; Ship Fit is the whole ship. Your Ship Fit answers imply a dining profile, and each ship's dining dimension here is her Dining Fit score for that profile — so the two tools never disagree. Every card links straight into Dining Fit with that ship already open if you want to refine how you eat.
Only in this browser, and only so the site's other fit tools can pick up where you left off. Nothing is sent anywhere, there's no account, and the “forget my answers” link at the bottom of the ranking clears it.
Which cabin on that ship, which sailing date makes her cheaper, whether the runner-up is the better trip once itinerary and price are on the table — and what the guide couldn't know about your specific week.
Tap a question or the button and an advisor answers against your actual sailing — not a generic fleet answer.
