What Creators Are Saying About CruiseSmarter - Videos
I've never once gone to Giovani's and thought, 'Oh, that really broke the bank.' Like it's too good and too affordable to pass up.

About our Bacon Score methodologyWhat Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“Verdict: Must book.”
“Regent represents the pinnacle of what cruising can be.”
“Aruba is valuable because it does not [feel unpredictable]. For most cruisers, especially first-timers, older travelers, or families, or anyone who wants a smooth day ashore, that kind of calm is hard to beat.”
“The best passengers are not always the richest passengers. They're not the loudest. They're not the ones with the biggest suite or the longest list of demands.”
“Wonder isn't the biggest or the newest, but she's the most complete, capturing the joy, scale, and soul of modern cruising.”
“Jamaica's current US travel advisory is level three, and it is blunt about why, noting armed robberies and sexual assaults are common.”
“In 2025, Turks and Caos authorities even refused entry to a cruise ship after an onboard illness outbreak was reported.”
“The Bahamas is level two on the US State Department system due to crime and it explicitly warns that violent crime like armed robberies and sexual assaults can occur anywhere.”
“Some vessel scores shockingly low in real passenger reviews. From sewage smells and power failures to buffet chaos you wouldn't believe.”
“It's like living in a closet that rocked back and forth.”
