About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“the first in the icon class will be the largest cruise ship in the world”
“My love of Royal Caribbean started 30 plus years ago, the very first time I set foot on a ship. Fell in love with it then, still love it to today.”
“What kind of brand pool does the Four Seasons name have, that it can convince people to spend a lot of money on a cruise product that includes nothing?”
“A band-aid, an ink pen, a fake eyelash, straws, a child's plastic spider ring, must have been Halloween, coins, and a nose ring hoop.”
