About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“I cruise with my kiddos all the time and being together as a family is such an amazing blessing getting to do it on vacation to me makes it even better you've got someone else cooking cleaning and taking great care of you so it's a win-win for absolutely every member of the family”
“The accommodations are spacious, the dining is excellent, the public spaces are beautifully designed, and the service is among the best I've ever experienced at sea.”
“a crew member on the Rhapsody of the Seas went overboard and was discovered and tried to be resuscitated”
“If you like to go to sleep before 11:00 p.m. or if you like to watch a movie um and relax quietly in your room, then I would avoid this deck.”
