Sister ship, Enchanted Princess, also earned the No. 3 spot in this same category.

Regal Princess was ranked No. 1 as the “Best Cruise Ship for Families” for its numerous kid-friendly features, including Camp Discovery Youth Center with dedicated kids’ spaces for three different age ranges, dozens of connecting staterooms and expansive Family Suites applauded with plenty of space to watch over the kids while also enjoying some privacy. Also popular with kids and adults alike is SeaWalk, a glass-bottomed walkway extending 28 feet over the ship’s edge and providing spectacular views.
