Cruiseline.com Announces Winners of 2023 Member Choice Awards

Date:

Using community-generated review data rankings, Cruiseline.com names top cruise lines and ships of the year

WAKEFIELD, Mass., March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Cruiseline.com is pleased to announce the winners of the 2023 Member Choice Awards. These award ratings come from review rankings submitted by Cruiseline.com members who sailed on cruises from January-December 2022. These awards have been given in a variety of categories to the top-ranked top cruise lines and cruise ships of the year.  

This is the eighth Member Choice Awards to be presented by Cruiseline.com. The cruise community, review, and advice website is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.

In the past twelve months, the majority of cruise lines were back sailing all ships in their fleet and at nearly full capacities. By the end of 2022, we saw most lines welcoming guests of all ages back onboard with limited restrictions. This year’s Member Choice Awards offer a look at cruise line and ship performance with a full year’s worth of review data to provide an insight into how members ranked their cruise experiences.

“The 2023 Member Choice Awards are very special to Cruiseline.com as they represent cruise lines back sailing at full capacity. The reviews submitted over the past year provide an in-depth view at how lines and ships stack up against each other now that sailing has resumed and all guests are welcome back onboard,” said Jamie Cash, General Manager of Cruiseline.com. “We salute these cruise line and cruise ship winners and are proud to present the awards based on data submitted by our members. We hope that this information is used to help guide our community and other future cruisers in making cruise vacation plans during 2023 and beyond.”

Royal Caribbean led the pack in the 2023 Member Choice Awards with seven best-in-category recognitions. Celebrity Cruises also received high marks from our members with multiple awards. Other cruise lines receiving top ratings this year included Seabourn, Viking Cruises, American Cruise Line, and Holland America Line.

These are the official winners of the 2023 Cruiseline.com Member Choice Awards:
