About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Join us as we share our cruise experience and unveil why we decided to remain on the ship. We took the advice of the US Department of State and our own government not to leave the ship in this port. They advise avoiding travel because of violent crimes, such as home invasions, armed robberies, assaults, and homicides. Assaults occur frequently, including at all-inclusive resorts. ------------ โญ Show your support and get exclusive access to videos, a live zoom chat, postcards, your name on our videos, and more!
