Great for deciding on a cruise line or ship
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
If you have never cruised, this book is an excellent introduction for what to expect from a cruise, shore excursions, incidentals, travel insurance. Brown and Golden go in depth in comparing the different cruise lines and ships. The information presented is very up to date. I bought this book primarily for port information, therefore the individual cruise ship information, however detailed, was of no use to me because I already booked my cruise. If you are in the process of deciding on a cruise line this book is very helpful. The port information is excellent, it's provided as a very easy read. Frommer's gives the current admission prices for attractions and also gives excellent tips on specific excursions as well as contact numbers. The information here is better than anything of I found online. Highly recommend with Anne Vipond's Alaska by Cruise Ship.
