About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“Without a word of a lie, hand on heart, it is one of the best speciality dining evenings we've had aboard a cruise ship for a very long time.”
“Pacific Rim turned out to be our favorite restaurant on board, and indeed, we would rank it amongst one of the best on any ship we've sailed on.”
“the future of crystal cruises is extremely unclear with almost half of their fleet taken without receiving compensation of any kind”
“The Wi-Fi, the perennial grumble of the high seas. It's included, yes, but it can be leisurely.”
