About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
