About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

When we were set to #embark on our first ever cruise, we were totally lost. We ended up having everything we needed, but that was after extensive #research, obsessing for weeks, and asking as many questions as we could to friends and family who had sailed before. I did consult YouTube for #tips and #tricks too, but some things we just had to find out on our own. This video is a #Top5 list that is meant to help new cruisers better prepare for their #DreamVacation.
