Cruise Critic, the world’s leading cruise reviews site, announced the winners of the 2017 Cruisers’ Choice Awards, based on ratings and reviews collected during a 12-month period.
“With these awards we consolidate the thousands of reviews submitted to Cruise Critic each year and honor those lines that received the best ratings from cruisers,” explained Colleen McDaniel, senior executive editor, Cruise Critic. “Reviews offer incredibly helpful insights for those planning a cruise but also highlight the remarkable experiences and levels of service that people encounter every day on a cruise. We’re thankful to everyone who added their voice to these awards by taking the time to write a review.”
Disney Cruise Line takes top awards in eight categories, including Best Overall Large Ship for Disney Dream for the third consecutive year. The ship also won for Best Cabins, Best Service, Best Public Rooms and Best Shore Excursions. In the Mid-Size ship category, Disney Magic was awarded Best Overall and Best for Families.
Viking Ocean Cruises ranks No. 1 in 10 categories. Viking Sea, which sails European and Caribbean itineraries, won Best Overall in the Small-Mid-Size ship category as well as Best Service, Best Entertainment, Best for Fitness, Best Public Rooms and Best Shore Excursion. Viking Star takes home a win for Best Value, Best Dining, Best Cabins and Best for First-Timers in the Small-Mid-Size category.
Celebrity Cruises’ Galápagos-based ship, Celebrity Xpedition, won six top awards in the Small Ship class, including Best Overall, Best Value and Best Shore Excursions.
Other first-place awards went to Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Sky for Best Cruise Ships for Value and Royal Caribbean International’s Allure of the Seas for Best Cruise Ships for Entertainment.
