After a text-mining process analysing over 204,710 semantic cruise reviews on social media for the period 2000-2024, this paper examines how cruisers' satisfaction and emotions evolved pre-, during-, and post-COVID. Applying a novel methodological mix of sentiment analysis and econometric models, the results show that cruisers' global satisfaction has increased, possibly due to a loyalty bias among cruise enthusiasts. The experience improved regarding specific issues such as ship size, premium services, timely post-cruise reviews, particular destinations, and cruise crew.
