Thanks for sharing this, Jason.  It's interesting, and some of the results surprise me.

I think the food on DCL is great, but I've heard many complaints about how it has declined in recent years, and how much better the dining is on other lines.  I'm surprised to see that DCL offers the best dining. 

I am also surprised to see that NCL has the best entertainment.  I've always thought this is where Disney excels.  It makes me wonder what they're offering on NCL.

I have never heard of MSC Cruises.  I always thought it was Carnival that has the best nightlife.

This poll reminds me of the awards they give out in schools these days where everyone has to win something.

I have booked a couple of MSC cruises. They are a company that is very popular in Europe. They are growing their presence here with a multi billion dollar investment in new ships and they are building a new terminal in Miami which is where they currently sail out of. The MSC Divina looks beautiful and Sil and I are considering taking a cruise with them to check them out further. I will say though my client kids were not impressed with the kids clubs and activities. They do have a large number of different bars and entertainment venues so they may really be doing the nightlife well. My client said he would go back again when it was just him and his wife.
