Why CruiseGrader Exists
Cruise reviews should be easier to compare.
Choosing a cruise can feel overwhelming because reviews are often scattered, emotional, and hard to compare. One traveler may focus on food, another on entertainment, and another on cabin comfort. CruiseGrader brings those opinions into one cleaner grading system so travelers can compare cruise lines and ships with more confidence before spending their money.
✓ Compare cruise lines with simple grades.
✓ See approved review counts clearly.
✓ Review ships by real traveler categories.

Trust & Moderation
Only approved reviews should shape public grades.
Trust is the heart of the Grader system. CruiseGrader keeps pending reviews separate until they are reviewed and approved.
Reviews Are Checked
Submitted reviews are held for moderation before appearing on public cruise line or ship pages.
Pending Reviews Do Not Count
Pending reviews never affect public ratings, letter grades, rankings, comparisons, or review counts.
Approved Counts Stay Visible
Every rating display shows the approved review count so visitors know how much feedback supports the grade.
Cruise Line Grades

Each card keeps the star rating, letter grade, and approved review count visible so visitors immediately understand the review signal.
