About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“Celebrity Edge offers an upscale atmosphere without feeling overwhelming, making ideal for travelers who want luxury amenities but don't want a stuffy environment or an inflated price tag.”
“I love Carnival. I've done a lot of sailings on Carnival. I'm booked to sail on Carnival.”
“The subscription that Oceanana has for this class, Amarata, they're just too small. So, for the number of people, it gets saturated really quickly.”
“You can't get people to attain these loyalty levels. And then when you get them to the top level, take it away because it doesn't work out for the crews that you're getting ready to set sail with.”
