That's hard to believe isn't it!

When my alma mater (Auburn) was not given the opportunity to play for the college football National Championship game this season I had this very same feeling. Sort of like...."somebody.....anybody.. 'splain this to me" ;)

A few of those I don't consider big ship cruise lines.

 

But hey at least we made the list, Where is Carnival.

 

I don't think Disney should qualify, they only have two ships, come on.

[Lamar Cheeks]

it's like most polls. who did they survey? anyone on these boards?

[superjerryw]

The poll is ridiculous in all aspects. First, how do you define "Large Ship". The ships operated by Radisson and Crystal are small when compared to those operated by the other cruise lines. More importantly, how can you compare mainstream cruise lines and luxury lines. Clearly, the cruise lines that charge significantly more should get a better rating. For the prices they charge, Crystal, Radisson and Oceania should have a much better product. If you structured a similar poll for cars you would be comparing a Mercedes to a Kia.

yeah jerry, according to the poll, a large line is any ship carrying more than 400 :eek: passengers.

How many ships does Cunard run?

 

 

 

 

 

I think that if you look the numbers... you'd see a very MINOR difference from 1 to 10... add standard deviation into those numbers... your all equal. :)

One word....BOGUS!
