About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

What is it actually like to live on a cruise ship? We spent over ten years combined living and working on ships and answered as many questions as we could about life onboard. Just because we're done working on ships doesn't mean we're done cruising on them. We'll be busy all summer cruising out of the West Coast, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Japan, and fingers crossed a sailing way down in Antarctica. We have two extra Q&A's posted for FREE on our Patreon as well. It doesn't require a membership at all either. Just click the video and you're good to go. https://www.patreon.com/c/BryanJamesCruises If there are questions you still want answered, leave it in the comments and we will make sure to answer any extra question you have!
