About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

During the 12/1/14 11 night sailing of the Quantum of the Seas the cruise director Jimmy Rhodes took some time on the last day to talk to the guests about cruising in China. This was more relevant than ever with the Quantum of the Seas herself destined for there in 6 months and him going with it. It was a very casual conversation that allowed for Jimmy to really open up and show who he is as a person and connect with the guest along with providing some hilarious tales of his previous contracts in China.
