Cruise Critic, the world's largest online cruise resource, has announced the winners of the 7th annual Cruise Critic Editors' Picks Awards. Three Carnival Corporation brands received awards: Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Lines and Princess Cruises.

Carnival Cruise Lines: Best Value for Money

Cruise Critic judges wrote: "When cruisers book with Carnival, they get great included features like waterslides, Guy's Burger Joint and the Seuss at Sea family program. To make sure passengers get more bang for their bucks, the line introduced Carnival Live, its fun, well-priced concert series. The icing? Carnival's Great Vacation Guarantee -- proving the line's confidence in its product."

Holland America Lines: Best Standard Cabins

Cruise Critic judges wrote: "With more space and included amenities than the industry average, Holland America's standard cabins speak for themselves. Gratis robes, fruit and shoeshine service are sweet perks. And Lanai cabins -- a bright cross between outside and balcony cabins, with access to the Promenade Deck -- continue to make their debut throughout the fleet."

Princess Cruises: Best Itineraries

Cruise Critic judges wrote: "In addition to its battery of standard Caribbean, Canada/New England and Europe sailings, Princess is known for offering standout Alaska voyages. Throw in bucket-list destinations like the Panama Canal, Australia/New Zealand and Tahiti, as well as world cruises that last more than 100 days, and you'll understand why Princess takes 2014's top honors for itineraries."
