User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Cruise for Dummies
An excellent book if you have never been on a cruise, once you have gone it is kind of useless.

4 Stars A Thorough Guide But Too Much Like Advertising For The Cruise Lines
For those interested in taking a cruise this book serves as a very thorough guide. It discusses pretty much all of the available cruises. It talks about planning your cruise and what experiences are available on board - spas, shows, activities and, of course, lots of food. It also covers the excursions available at the different ports of call and where each cruise line goes to, with an emphasis on the Caribbean, Alaska and the Mediterranean.

The only reason I am deducting a star is that the writers give only rave reviews for every cruise line. It seemed like they were often just advertising for the cruise companies rather than offering objective opinions that would be useful for its readers. This made it hard to figure out which cruise lines were best because the writers made each one sound so wonderful. So readers seeking to narrow their options might want to go online to the websites where people offer reviews on their cruising experiences rather than rely on this book.

But for all the nuts and bolts information on planning a cruise, what places you can cruise to and what activites are available, both at sea and on shore, this book is an excellent choice.

4 Stars Good general info
This is a good tool for first-time cruisers . . . and great info if you’re going to the Caribbean. My cruise was to Canada (Atlantic side), so there wasn’t a lot about the tours for Canada.

Otherwise, good info.

5 Stars World Ventures, Dream Trips, How to plan trip of your dreams
This was a very simple, easy to read book (All the “Dummies” books are very easy read books), If you are looking for a vacation try, “World Ventures, Wayne Nugent, Mike Azcue, Dan Stammen, Robert Oblon, Wes Melcher, Marc Accetta.”
