Customer Reviews
No great secrets revealed in this "unofficial" guide
This book is very thorough and detail oriented for the novice cruiser, but no "insider information" is revealed for an experienced traveler. If you have never cruised, or don't want to take the time to read the brochures, search the internet and ask lots of questions, this books may be for you. If you want to know things that aren't readily available from other sources (see above), you won't find any "unofficial" information in this publication. Your best bet for that type of info are different cruise interest sites on the web or "Cruise Travel" magazine.
simply the best
Showker's cruise guide is right on target, what the Fielding guide once was before the reviews became dated. I love her focus on value for money, descriptions of fellow passengers and the comprehensive coverage of all aspects. Great for first timers or the experienced cruiser.
Excellent guide to cruises
I found this guide extremely helpful in planning my last cruise and will use it again for future cruises. Easy to use format and when reading the information for my last cruise I found the information given accurate.
