Carnival Cruise Line Secures Top Honours in 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards

Carnival Cruise Line has once again proven its prowess in the cruise industry by clinching the Best Ocean Cruise Line award for the second consecutive year in USA Today’s prestigious 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. The accolades don’t end there, as Carnival Celebration, a recent addition to the fleet, emerged victorious as the best cruise ship in both the dining and entertainment categories.

Christine Duffy, the president of Carnival Cruise Line, expressed gratitude for the loyalty of guests and commended the unwavering commitment of the team members who continually strive to create memorable experiences across the fleet. “To win the ‘The Best Ocean Cruise Line’ award for a second consecutive year is a testament to the outstanding commitment of our team members,” she said.

The 10Best Awards’ nominations were meticulously selected by a panel of cruise industry experts, with final rankings determined by online voting from USA Today readers. Carnival’s success in these awards is attributed to its dedication to catering to families and casual cruisers, offering an array of entertainment and dining options on its ‘Fun Ships.’

The judging panel highlighted Carnival’s commitment to keeping passengers engaged and satisfied with features like water parks, glitzy casinos, and live entertainment. A particular focus on diverse, casual dining experiences, including the partnership with celebrity chef Guy Fieri for Guy’s Burger Joint, further sets Carnival apart. Notably, all these offerings come at affordable price points, making cruising with Carnival an attractive option for a wide range of travelers.

These accolades come at a time of exciting growth for Carnival Cruise Line, building on the momentum initiated in 2021. The recently launched flagship, Carnival Jubilee, has set sail from Galveston, Texas, while the 27th addition to the fleet, Carnival Firenze, is poised to embark on its maiden voyage from Long Beach, California, starting April 25, 2024. The exclusive destination, Celebration Key, is set to open in the summer of 2025, offering guests a unique and immersive experience.

Looking ahead, Carnival Cruise Line has further expansion plans, with the announcement of a fourth Excel sister ship joining the likes of Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Celebration, and Mardi Gras in 2027.
