Royal Caribbean has been honored with a number of awards by Cruise Critic for its 2012 Editors' Picks.
Royal Caribbean won awards for the United States and United Kingdom categorizations. Royal Caribbean won the award in the following categories:
Best for Families (USA)
Royal Caribbean's appeal ranges from casual dining venues and cabins that sleep five or more to family-friendly recreational activities, such as ice-skating and simulated surfing. But its real gem is its kids programs, which are divided into five age classifications, entertaining kids from six months to 17 years old.
Best Entertainment (USA)
While Royal Caribbean's already-iconic Oasis and Allure of the Seas -- with their comedy clubs, jazz bars, evening promenade parades, nighttime high-diving performances, ice-skating shows, pubs with folk music and actual Broadway productions -- deserve the nod, we also applaud the line for incorporating a similar variety of options on its (somewhat) smaller vessels.
Best Suites (UK)
Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas set the bar high with their outstanding Loft Suites and Family Suites, but the three ships in Royal’s Freedom class -- Independence, Liberty and Freedom -- also boast some outstanding suite accommodations, including the Presidential Family Suite (1,215 square feet, balcony 810 square feet), which is unique in the industry.
The Cruise Critic Editors' Picks Awards are selected by the team of editors at Cruise Critic.
