4 out of 5 starsGood cruise handbook, 2008-10-06
Have cruised several times before, however thought it would not hurt to review things to keep updated or if we missed something. Plus my parents were taking a cruise for first time, so shared the book with them also. Lots of helpful information! For the price I would say it was worth it. Reminder in the book on packing cannot be stressed enough and is so true. (Pack less, you don't need that much stuff) I liked the fact that the person writing the book has some years of experience.

5 out of 5 starsBest little Cruise Book! , 2008-10-05
My Fiance and I were rookie cruisers, and I bought this to help us out. It is great! It has lots of helpful hints and "do not forgets" for first timers and veteran cruisers alike! Buy it if you have any questions about cruising!

4 out of 5 starsOutdated, simplistic, but useful, 2008-07-05
A new edition is due by Fall of 2008, and is needed. This remains a VERY useful guide for first-time cruisers; for those with several cruises under their belt [given the amount of food on a cruise ship, this may be a double entendre] this little book is probably of minimal use.

1 out of 5 starsNot Particularly Useful, 2007-06-08
The gist of this book is: "Have a good time, no matter what. Avoid bugging the staff, your problem's not that big." Very little in the way of stuff which could enhance your cruise or keep you out of trouble.
