What this rating helps me check:

3. CHECK THE ACTUAL SAILING
Ship / sailing date / itinerary / cabin category:
Current operator page and sailing-date deck plan:
Essential requirement 1: confirmed / unresolved / fails; evidence:
Essential requirement 2: confirmed / unresolved / fails; evidence:
Essential requirement 3: confirmed / unresolved / fails; evidence:

Operator answers, source links and dates checked:
Do not use a high optional score to override a failed essential requirement.

4. OPTIONAL PERSONAL FIT SCORES
Use the same 1-5 scale for all suitable candidates. Explain your scores.
Criterion / weight as a decimal / score / weighted score / evidence:
Itinerary:
Cabin fit:
Dining:
Other (adjust all weights to total 1.00):
Total = sum of score multiplied by weight.

Invented example, not published ratings:
Weights: itinerary 0.50, quiet cabin 0.30, dining 0.20 (total 1.00).
A: 5 x 0.50 + 3 x 0.30 + 4 x 0.20 = 4.2.
B: 4 x 0.50 + 5 x 0.30 + 4 x 0.20 = 4.3.
Changed weights: itinerary 0.70, quiet cabin 0.10, dining 0.20.
A then scores 4.6; B scores 4.1.
These results expose your priorities; small differences are not precise evidence.
