This year, I went on my second cruise ever to Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba in April with Royal Caribbean. The previous cruise I ever went on was to Alaska in 2000 with Celebrity Cruises.

Even though the views in Alaska were breathtaking, I enjoyed the Key West/Cuba cruise as I didn't come down sick (well, I did get a little cold) as on the Alaska cruise.

Condé Nast Traveler has posted their Readers' Choice Awards survey results on the "Best Cruise Lines in the World".

They begin with:

Cruising has had an interesting evolution over the last century, from the luxurious expeditions to Antarctica to the proliferation of the mega-ship, with outrageous amenities like roller coasters and robot bartenders on the high seas. Today, there’s an entire range of sailings that span these two categories and many more, from intimate river ships exploring historic Europe, to adventurous expeditions to the Galápagos, to intimate, yacht-like experiences that are the ultimate in luxury—as well as their access to harder-to-reach destinations. For our 32nd annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey—yes, more than three decades—a record 600,000 registered voters weighed in. We’re ever curious about where you go, what you loved, and who you went with. As you continue to travel, we continue to listen: Here are the cruise lines you loved most this year—proving our theory that there’s a cruise out there for everyone.
