Cruise Critic, the leading cruise reviews site, has announced the winners of the first-ever Cruise Critic Cruisers' Choice Awards. The awards honor the top cruise ships, based on ratings submitted by consumers for cruise reviews published on the site.

"The reviews submitted by our members are an outstanding resource for cruisers and offer a fantastic insight into the different cruise experiences you will find on each ship," said Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor in chief of Cruise Critic. "With these awards, we're looking to honor the ships that rank highly with our members by providing exceptional facilities, accommodations, activities and service."

Cruise Critic boasts the world's largest online cruise community with more than 700,000 members and 70,000 cruise reviews. Each month, almost 2 million people visit the site to read cruise reviews, find information on planning cruises or access the forums, where they swap advice and stories with other cruisers.
