About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“Also eine komplett perfekte Reise.”
“the MSC Yacht Club is 100% the bomb”
“shame on life VY cruises they without a doubt dropped the ball on this 100%”
“The food in the main dining room, some of the poorest we've saw on any of the cruise lines in all 50 cruises that we've done. In fact, I'll go far far enough to say that it is the worst food in the main dining room we've ever experienced.”
