About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“Scenic truly is an all-inclusive experience you'll have some incredible dining here on board some of the best chefs in the world”
“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.”
“We have a cruise ship that has broken down and it's so severe that they have to cancel the next sailing completely with only a day's notice before the ship was supposed to set sail.”
“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.”
