Excellent planner for my upcoming Alaskan Cruise, 2008-12-05
This book is an outstanding help with planning for an Alaska cruise. I read and refer to this book often, and regurally.

pretty disappointing, 2008-10-02
Wish I had seen this one at the library before I invested the cash for a book that can't really be passed along.
My biggest problem is that the info in the book is too detailed to be useful unless you're lucky enough to take the Marine Highway and have days at each port.

Informative, and profusely illustrated, 2008-07-09
This is almost certainly the best "overview" guide to Alaska Cruises you'll find. There are chapters on both cruising and the sights you'll see in Alaska, with lots of photos and illustrations plus a large pull-out map. If you're planning an Alaska Cruise, buying this book will be money well-spent.

Alaska by Cruise Ship, 2008-05-19
Awesome book. If you are planning on an Alaskan Cruise or Cruise/Tour - this is the only book you need. I previously bought 3 other books on Alaska but when I started reading this one - the others didn't get picked back up. This books has everything you could ever need to plan and enjoy your Alaskan Cruise experience. This book realy should have 10 stars not 5!

Great Book for an Alaskan Cruise!, 2008-04-08
This is a wonderful and very useful book if you are planning an Alaskan Cruise! My favorite part is the breakdown for every port which includes a terrific self guided walking tour and a map of each port. Bon Voyage!
