Interesting Oceania is last on the list...probably because Oceania demands the most ridiculous fares...double the price of North America and they also won't allow Aussies to book in the US.

rojaan19 Posted April 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well I hope Silverseas lives up to the hype ! we are on our first SS cruise in August and my husband is already looking at another SS cruise in 2011. Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann It did for me...I have another 3 cruises booked later in the year. However I don't have over-the-top expectations and am not looking to find lots of little things to be critical about. I enjoy the experience as a whole. Have a good one!:) Cheers Jennifer (ging466) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulchili Posted April 1, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2010 could have something to do with the fact most aussie voters have only ever been on silversea and p & o ? Ditto. While it is nice to see Silversea at the top, I would take this (like any other similar poll) with a large grain of salt. The answers depend on who was polled and who bothered to answer. Who in their right mind would believe even for a second that P&O and Princess should rank well above cruise lines like Crystal, Regent, Seabourn or even Oceania?

wripro Posted April 1, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I have to agree with Paulchili. This survey, like Conde Nast Traveler and Travel and Leisure, are geared toward properties (and cruise lines) with which the respondents are familiar. They vote for the ones they use and know best so the results are skewed by people willing to take the survey. It's not a clear representation of accuracy at all.

Paulchili Posted April 1, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Not to mention the fact that at least half of those cruise lines listed do not belong in the "Luxury Cruise Line" category to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuseCruiser Posted April 2, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The only poll that matters to me is my own internal poll. Does it really matter what mass market magazines' ratings are, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord of the seas Posted April 2, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The only poll that matters to me is my own internal poll. Does it really matter what mass market magazines' ratings are, really? The Berlitz guide is the only fair and accurate guide to rely on. Apart from one's own experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ging466 Posted April 2, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Don't tell the Aussies that. Them are fighting words, Lord:D:D:D I agree, these polls are just too ridiculous...u might remember when someone posted some other magazine's poll ...there were river cruise ships and luxury travel agents & hotels up against the cruiselines. I suppose they have to fill their pages somehow. Cheers Jennifer (ging466) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted April 3, 2010 #15 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I agree with Muse Cruiser. If I like something what do I care what some poll says??? If I don't a hundred gold stars won't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPR Posted April 3, 2010 #16 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The fact that Silversea has a full-page ad on the following page of the magazine is a bit suspicious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
