The UK Cruise Passenger Ratings
Cruise.co.uk’s passengers ratings are based on more than 32,000 REAL experiences Every person who writes a cruise review on our website completes a short survey to score each part of their cruise. The results are updated every day and you can tailor them to your needs – for example – you can see what those over 65 years old thought of Cunard, or how 25—34 year olds rate P&O etc.
