MIAMI, FL -- Celebrity Cruises took top honors in America Online (AOL) Cruise Critic's annual ``Cruisers' Choice'' poll, with three Celebrity ships -- Century, Galaxy and the new Millennium -- ranking among the top 10 ships in the world.

Celebrity Cruises also captured several of the top 10 rankings in the categories of Best Food, Best Fitness and Recreation Programs, Best Overall Service, Best Value for Price, and Best Cabins.

``Celebrity Cruises prides itself on its stunning ships, which are the platform for vacation experiences that consistently deliver extraordinary gourmet cuisine, impeccable service and luxurious amenities,'' said Celebrity Cruises President Rick Sasso. ``It's a pleasure when knowledgeable cruise enthusiasts such as those participating in the AOL Cruise Critic poll recognize us for exceeding their expectations.''

Consistently honored for its cuisine created by renowned Master Chef Michel Roux, Celebrity Cruises represented nearly half of the top 10 ships noted for offering the best cuisine, with Century, Mercury, Horizon, and Galaxy.

Similarly, Celebrity's revitalizing AquaSpa(SM) facilities inspired cruisers to rank Millennium, Mercury, Galaxy and Century among the top 10 in the category of ``Best Fitness and Recreation Programs.''

The poll's ``Best Value for Price'' category honored Celebrity's Century, Galaxy and Mercury. Century also ranked among the top 10 for ``Best Cabins'' and ``Best Overall Service.''

Celebrity Cruises is the highest-rated premium cruise line in the industry and has the youngest fleet of any major cruise line. Celebrity's eighth ship, Summit, launches this fall, and an additional Millennium-class ship will make its maiden voyage in 2002.
