Default Expedia star ratings

I've noticed a discrepency in how Expedia rates the Tahitian vs. the
Pacific Princess. The Tahitian gets 4 stars while the Pacific gets 5
stars. As best as I can figure out, both of them are sister ships and
are the former R3 and R4 of the Renaissance line. We've travelled on
the Golden Princess and Voyager of the Seas both of which Expedia rates
4 1/2 star. The 4 1/2 star rating seemed appropriate so therefore we
can't figure out why the Tahitian Princess would be rated worse and the
Pacific Princess better. Any thoughts?

I saw this also.....I usually read user reviews and base my opinions on
those rather than the star system.

Perhaps when the people that did the rating where on one ship during a
bad week and experienced inferior service? Or maybe one ship did more
cruises than an other and was showing more shop wear?
