Travel & Leisure magazine annually polls readers about their favorite hotels, airlines, destinations and cruise lines.   In the cruise categories,  cruise lines are selected by category:  large ship, small ship and river boats.

Here are readers picks for large ship cruise line.  (Note:  Crystal, Regent, Oceania & Azamara ships carry fewer than 1000 passengers and, in my opinion, shouldn’t be in this category)

1.  Crystal Cruises

3.  Oceania Cruises

4.  Disney Cruises

5.  Azamara Club Cruises

6.  Cunard Line
