About our Bacon Score methodology

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I'm going to give it five stars. I really loved it.

If you don't see a itinerary that really fits your what you are looking for and you have the time to do it, absolutely try back to back.

I mean, what a fun view. No shows but you can see the restaurants down there. Just a fun view.

We have a beautiful view of Singapore before we sail away today.

We are very excited for part two of our journey.

The Watch-outs

I've had bad luck with suitcases on Brightline. I have had a higher fare and been told, 'Oh, sorry, even though your fare includes a suitcase, we don't have room for any more suitcases.'

I absolutely disagree with taking away gratuitities. I mean, it would have to be absolutely the worst service of my life for me not to tip those standard amounts.

I'm not sure it will be real entertaining for the kids because the kids are looking for Pumba and Timone, which are not there.

The shops get crazy. So, you need to avoid the shops during these times when they are crazy.

Number 14 is Triton's on the Disney Wonder. I'm sorry. I know it's an OG. It's not quite the OG. It's one of the OGs, but it's a little formal for me.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for The Unofficial Guides.

  1. Get input from all family members before booking a specific destination.

  2. Be very clear about financial responsibilities and who is paying for what before booking.

  3. Try to book staterooms near each other, but don't stress if you can't.

  4. Strategically spread out Castaway Club members across rooms to allow for earlier booking windows.

  5. Use matching magnets on stateroom doors to make finding family members easier.

  6. Link all reservations together to ensure the group is seated together for dining.

  7. Set clear expectations regarding childcare responsibilities.

  8. If booking Brightline, watch for sales and rebook if fares drop to get a credit.
