About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
Positive · National Geographic Endurance
“guests on board national geographic endurance got to see a rare sight when the ship was able to catch the solar eclipse”
Positive · Star of the Seas
“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.”
Critical · National Geographic Endurance
“the former costa romanica has found its way to a shipyard or rather a scrap yard in pakistan”
Critical · Star of the Seas
“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.”
