Was there an award for dissatisfied customers who'd had money taken from them dishonestly?

 

Shame... That would have been another one to crow about.

Interesting.

 

On the Cruise Critic site, UK voters don't seem to have voted for anything Carnival.

 

NCL seem to have done very well though.

 

Norwegian Spirit Best overall large Ship.

 

Best for entertainment.

 

Best for fitness and recreation.

 

Best for shore excursions

 

Best value for money.

I see Carnival had 4 of the top 10 Best Value for Money, including the top 2. Very impressive!

I was very impressed with Carnival Vista on the Inaugural voyage and looking forward to cruising on the ship again next week on the TA!

We don't give out an award for best buffet, but we do have one for best dining: http://www.cruisecritic.com/editors-picks/#BestDining. (Disney won for 2016.)
