About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“this venue I absolutely have to give 10 out of 10”
“I have never been bored on this on a cruise ship ever. And I think it's because I have this new thing called YouTube that keeps me busy”
“when you don't announce the total number of cases and you don't announce that your crew members have come down that that's not above board”
“This ship should have been with the dry dock. It's got elevators that's like super slow. Everything's like really old”
