About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

Each cruise line has its fans and caters to a different market segment. Shorter trips have a younger clientele while longer ones are filled with retirees. But each ship seems designed to fit a certain style of passenger too. Our first cruise (Royal Caribbean) was glitzy, colorful, and youthful. Its slogan was "We are the nation of why not?" This second cruise (Celebrity) was more elegant. I wouldn't say stodgy at all. In fact, while it had a more dressy, affluent, and mature demographic, there was plenty of action. But from this video (which you can compare to a similar one on the other ship I shared last week) you can see the stress was on elegance and quality design. ... In your experience, which cruise line offers the most enjoyable ambiance and clientele?
