brn2crz Posted July 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Pretty much what it always had. Best in the "mid range" class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aboat1 Posted July 8, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted July 8, 2015 "Pretty much what it always had. Best in the "mid range" class." I must be missing something here. How can we say it is best in mid range when HAL, Princess, Celebrity and Carnival all rank higher and only NCL rates lower? Also, Royal ranks lower in The Mega ship rankings. I was shocked to see these rankings but maybe I just do not know how to read them. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200S Posted July 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I must be blind as I don't see Carnival listed. Pete Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlekuin Posted July 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I must be blind as I don't see Carnival listed. I was going to say the same. And then, who cares about polls like this? These are done through magazines that the "average" cruiser probably doesn't read - Travel and Leisure. Note how all the winners are the highest priced companies. Them being on top should not be any surprise. And to Pete... the 'baby' in your avatar is darling!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted July 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I never pay any attention to polls....after all, they didn't ask me:cool: And the pollster can choose any data he wants to to prove what he wants it to. We prefer RCCL and Celebrity to any other. That's all I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 8, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Polls are all about HOW you ask the question...not so much about WHAT you ask about!! We have no idea what the actual question was or how they phrased it.....all you're seeing is the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianhodgson Posted July 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 9, 2015 They look to have taken about 5 seconds to do this "poll". Cunard doesnt even own a "mega ship" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brn2crz Posted July 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2015 While they may be close in price HAL Celebrity and Princess are all about a more luxurious ,service driven ,more all inclusive feel. RCI is all about the ship as a destination family fun, with ad ons available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted July 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I think the folks that read Travel + Leisure primarily cruise on luxury lines. I received a subscription to keep my AA miles valid, and so far....I don't think we have seen a single trip that we would really like to do or afford.

garycarla Posted July 9, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The value of most surveys are of questionable value. WHO was invited to vote? What is their demographic? How was the question worded? Way too many variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldone60 Posted July 9, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Just look through any issue of T&L and look at the ads, pretty much explains there poll results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted July 9, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 9, 2015 If the poll would have rated Royal and Celebrity at the top, it would have been touted as the gospel of cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted July 9, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 9, 2015 They look to have taken about 5 seconds to do this "poll". Cunard doesnt even own a "mega ship" Largest ships: RCI: 225,282 tons Celebrity: 122,000 Cunard: 148,528 Disney: 128,690 Princess: 141,000 Interesting you complain about Cunard but not Celebrity, Disney, or Princess.
