About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Before departing on the Costa Luminosa from Barcelona I had a lot of preconceived notions of what the buffet, main dining room, shows, service, and cabins would be like. Many cruise fans had been in touch with me to give me their opinions of what it would be like and share their cruising experiences with this Italian brand of Carnival Cruise Lines. But did my expectations match the actual experience? Watch and see! #cruise #cruiseline #comparison Get my NEW BOOK!
