During 2022 plenty of challenges and roadblocks were thrown at the cruise industry. Since Disney Cruise Line is family-focused, it had to navigate a year of transitioning protocols that limited which guests could sail. For several months at the beginning of 2022, sailing with Disney was unavailable to younger cruisers. By the end of the year, restrictions had relaxed, and families with kids of all ages were back at sea. Coincidentally, the most significant influx of reviews came in from community members once all restrictions were removed. 

Disney’s excellent service, ship quality, and onboard offerings made it stand out in several categories. It came in third overall for the most awards received by a cruise line, just behind Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises, lines with many more ships in their fleet.

Here’s an overview of all the outstanding top recognitions that Disney Cruise Line took home in the 2023 Member Choice Awards:

For many categories of overall and ship rankings, it was a mere tenth or hundredth of a point separating the scores. Disney came close to many overall category winners with a tiny percentage point difference. What’s impressive to us is that even though fewer reviews came in for Disney Cruise Line this past year, the line still received so many excellent scores they beat out some of their much larger competitors in many categories. 

Now that Disney Cruise Line has welcomed all guests back on board and brought back many services to ships, we look forward to seeing how the line performs in the coming year. The new Disney Wish will have a full 12 months of sailings and reviews and is already ranking with an overall score of 4.1 stars on a 5-point scale. Additionally, we will see the momentum build-up for the debut of Disney Treasure in 2024, the cruise line’s largest ship to date!
