2017 CRUIZIE Awards for LGBT Cruise Travel
The 2017 CRUIZIE© Award winners are announced below. This marks the 5th consecutive year of the LGBTQ cruise travel community voting on the cruise industry’s “bests,” and we also are pleased to include the first and second runners up in each category.
To help ensure the results reflect the LGBT cruise community, voting was limited to persons who identify as L,G,B or T, and who are members of MeetMeOnBoard or our Facebook page. We had a record number of voters this year, and we are pleased to announce the gay cruise community’s choices. In future posts we will look at the year-over-year differences.
