Which boat has the best rating on here

Which boat from the major cruise line companys has the highest approval rating on the board?

Please remember they are ships not boats.

Also there are different categories based on size.

I really would not get to caught up in the rating from CC.

Regardless of how ships are rated and by who...the only thing you should be concerned about is your preferences when it comes to booking a cruise...which you can easily narrow down....then they'll be many on these boards that will give you their opinion on your choices...you then take it from there...after all it's "your" cruise.

My favorite boat would be the love boat.... I mean the LIFE boat. It sits on the ship and is best if never used.

Thanks for the link, caribsun, I had not seen that page before. I value the opinion of the masses and I think the ratings give a pretty good idea of how well a ship meets expectations.

The best and highest rated "Boat" is whichever one is still floating after the "Ship" sinks.

There are so many cruise ships your question is impossible to answer. What is my favorite ship means nothing in terms of what would be someone else's. I don't think many of us would even say which is the best cruise line let alone ship.

Let us know what one(s) you like the best.

There is no answer to your question. All have their pluses and minuses....Close your eyes, spin around, and pick one.

What one loves another may hate.

The original question is "Which boat has the best rating on here". According to caribsun's link, the Pacific Princess has the best overall rating on Cruise Critic with a score of 4.8. Three ships follow at 4.7: Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Nieuw Amsterdam.

There was the Love Boat and the Big Red Boat, both cruise ships.

Whogo's response validates the responses some of the others of us gave.

I have sailed all HAL's fleet except for Prinsendam and Nieuw Amsterdam is down at mid or lower on my list. I would never have listed Nieuw Amsterdam as one of top three for HAL let alone for all cruise lines ...... which is exactly the point of posts in this thread saying it is an unanswerable question.

I would be curious as to the process that determines Pacific Princess is the "best". Not to knock Princess or Pacific Princess, but why wouldn't a super luxury line like Seabourne or SilverSea be the "best". Too few cruisers of those lines doing reviews? Some other statistical weighting issue?

Agree is it a ship. Never heard of anyone going on a "cruise boat". We have been on 18 "cruise ships".

I am guessing that the 4.8 rating for Pacific Princess is a weighted average of overall ratings given for the ship by Cruise Critic reviewers over some time period. 5 points for excellent, 4 points for very good, etc.

I agree with those who said it is totally subjective. Look at member reviews, and you will see one person say best cruise evr, the next saying worst cruise ever.

Hi,

I remember the best rating was a seaman (I think) called Staines.

Whogo answered your question properly. Over the past couple years, it seems like RCI Oasis Class, Disney Dream Class and Celebrity Solstice Class have consistently topped the Cruise Critic ratings for large ships.

And don't worry about saying boat. All ships are boats, but not all boats are ships. ;)

Your question is totally unanswerable because everyone's parameters to define "best" are different. Would you go on a car site and ask what the "best" car is. I doubt it.

You need to do some research to try to find out what cruise line is best for you. Then come back with specific questions on that line and then we can then help you.

We can't do the research for you.

I always think of these ratings in categories; Budget,mainstream, premium and luxury. You cannot compare a ships cabin at $110 per day to a luxury one at say $500. Also,when checking out these ratings, look at source. Cruise mag that relies on cruise line advertising? Agent who will get a bonus?.Lots of cruiser reviews here.

you are turning basic math into a calculus probelm !

Lumping Celebrity Solstice in the same category as RCI Oasis is somewhat misleading. While both are much larger than what USED TO BE thought of as small or medium ships, they are not in the same class. Oasis, at over 5,000 passengers is among the largest (if not actually the largest), while Slostice, at less than 3,000 passengers, is certainly not anything more than today's mid-size.

Also, why do you think all ships are boats, while claiming that all boats are not ships?
