(I-TravelNewswire.Com, July 08, 2013 ) San Clemente, CA -- The Disney Cruise Lines has provided its passengers with a quality experience that was voted best among the seven major cruise lines, according to the J.D. Power's new study on cruise line satisfaction.

The report was released that showed Disney received a satisfaction rating of 871 out of 1,000 possible points. The closest competitor was Royal Caribbean, which scored a 838. The average score was 824 overall.
