OREANDA-NEWS. January 13, 2016.  Carnival Cruise Line took top honors in two categories in USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards, earning accolades for "Best Cruise Line" and "Best Cruise Ship For Dining" (Carnival Breeze). 

The awards were based on nominations from a team of cruise industry experts and the winners were determined by an online vote by USA Today readers.

Carnival earned "Best Cruise Line" honors for its affordable, high quality vacation experience that offers a variety of onboard features and facilities, from the exclusive Seuss at Sea program in partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to luxurious spas and hilarious comedy shows at the Punchliner Comedy Club presented by

Carnival Breeze was named "Best Cruise Ship For Dining" for its wide range of tantalizing culinary options, including Bonsai Sushi, the elegant Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, the Cucina del Capitano family-style Italian restaurant, and hand-crafted burgers and fries at Guy's Burger Joint developed in tandem with Food Network star

"Receiving this recognition is a wonderful validation of all the hard work our shipboard and shoreside teams put into providing our guests with fun, memorable vacations, which, of course, includes offering an array of delicious dining choices that are considered a highlight of a Carnival cruise," said

Christine Duffy, Carnival's president. "We would also like to thank our travel agent partners for their support in sharing the myriad benefits and exceptional value of cruise vacations with their clients," she added.
