About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“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”
“This is definitely the best country I've seen in my entire life.”
“This ship should have been with the dry dock. It's got elevators that's like super slow. Everything's like really old”
“at no point anywhere at any time should somebody who's in the middle of their act and performance for any reason be attacked on stage for any reason”
