Big certainly appears to be better when it comes to cruise travel with the news that Oasis of the Seas, a 5,400-passenger mega-ship, which is less than two years old, has swept the boards in the first of an international awards scheme, based purely on passenger ratings.

Cruise news and reviews web site Cruise Critic (http://www.cruisecritic.co.uk) announced the winners of its first-ever Cruisers’ Choice Awards. Cruise Critic boasts the world’s largest online cruise community with more than 700,000 members and 70,000 cruise reviews.

The Cruisers’ Choice Awards are based on ratings submitted by cruisers and include dedicated awards for the top-rated ships according to U.K. consumers. This is the first time the site has released annual ratings for cruise ships.

Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor in chief of Cruise Critic, said “The reviews and ratings submitted by our members are an outstanding resource for cruise travellers and offer a fantastic insight into the different cruise experiences you will find on each ship.

“These awards recognise the ships that rank highly with passengers by providing exceptional facilities, accommodations, activities and service.”
