About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

So, what has been your favourite cruise? After two years, 11 cruises, and 8 cruise lines, we now know what sort of cruise experience we like. What cruises have we enjoyed and what ones didn’t we like. Actually, there is only one we were glad to get off. We enjoyed the other ten, even the one where we were flooded out of the cabin. But how would our 10 best cruises rank and how do ships of the same cruise line compare? In the two years we’ve been cruising, we’ve learned a few things. For example, new ships don’t necessarily mean better, and ships within the same cruise line can vary dramatically.
