This cruise guide is not for experts. It’s a consummer guide for passengers looking for the best deal. CRUISING 101 explains how to choose among the most popular cruise lines the one that best suits your lifestyle, and how to get the nicest cruise ships at the best prices.
Good deal for me. It’s a simple, fast reading and not expensive cruise guide ; just 15 bucks! I save more with informations the author gave about bargains on Internet.
I really appreciated the section about the best children’s ships. I’ve never seen this kind of pratical information in another cruise guide.
Just what I needed, fast, simple information but so important to know if you want to have the cruise you will remember always!! THANKS
SMART GUIDE: it is exactly that. Good tips for a family cruise ou a romantic one.Small boats, big boats, lots of information for the vacation that is best for you!!
This guide helped me to choose the right cruise line and ship. I got a 5-night cruise just for $249. Very helpful and interesting, but maybe a little bit too short.
The first commenter is the author?? He can’t even spell, let alone write a coherent sentence. I don’t think I’d take his advice.
