How the Cruise Ship Quiz works
Answer 11 questions covering your travel party, homeport region, vacation pace, trip length, onboard atmosphere, priorities, destination, ship size, dining, casino preferences and dealbreakers. The results compare your answers with the ships in our current library. They are not based on live prices, paid placement or a universal “best ship” ranking.
What your matches mean
The percentage shown in a result is a relative fit indicator based on your answers. It is not a ship-quality rating, a live fare, an availability check or a guarantee that a particular itinerary will operate on your dates. Every match explains several reasons—not only the casino answer—so you can understand the tradeoffs.
Casino preferences count too
Gaming can be a highlight, irrelevant or a dealbreaker. The quiz lets you prefer a more expansive casino, a smoke-free environment, a non-smoking section, casual gaming or no casino. Policies can vary by ship and departure region, so use our casino and smoking-policy comparison and confirm the exact sailing.
