About our Bacon Score methodologyStandout creator quotes
“One of our absolute favorites, not just of the fleet, but quite possibly of any fleet anywhere.”
“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.”
“This was a very poor decision by this captain or whoever was sailing the ship at that time.”
“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.”
